New construction gives buyers choices, but every choice should be supported by a clear process. Before signing a contract, ask questions that reveal what is included, what can change, and who is responsible at each stage.
Plans and pricing
- What is included in the published price? Request a written specification sheet.
- Which finishes can I still select? Options narrow as construction advances.
- How do allowances work? Understand credits, overages, and unused balances.
- How are change orders approved? Ask about pricing, signatures, and schedule effects.
- Which floor-plan changes are permitted? Separate structural choices from finish selections.
Lot and community
- What survey, plat, and easement documents are available?
- How will drainage and final grading be handled?
- Which utilities serve the address? Confirm providers and connection responsibilities.
- What will be built nearby? Review neighboring lots and future phases.
- Which school district and campuses serve the address? Verify directly with the district.
Schedule, quality, and completion
- What is the estimated completion window? Ask what could extend it.
- When may the buyer or inspector access the property?
- How is the final walk-through and punch list handled?
- What written warranty is provided? Review coverage, exclusions, and claim steps.
- What happens if financing, appraisal, or completion is delayed? Review the contract with qualified advisors.
