Recommended Builders
I am often asked for recommendations concerning builders, general contractors, etc. as customers and clients consider building a lake home on the lakeshore property of their dreams. There are a variety of factors that you need to consider when you are looking for a builder
- Reputation for Quality – check for referrals
- Cost
- Type of construction – conventional, log, timber frame, modular, etc.
- Location – Many builders find it inefficient to accept jobs more than a certain distance from their places of business. Others have multiple locations and demonstrate a wider area of coverage.
- Experience building Northwood’s structures and dealing with remote lakeshore home owners. It is important to know that the builder knows how to work with an owner that lives 4, 5 or 6 hours from the site as you can’t afford to be on the site every day during the construction process.
