If you’ve decided to hire a builder to be a general contractor, site supervisor, or even a consultant for the construction of your new house, there are a whole slew of questions that you’ll want to ask him before you commit to working with him. There’s the basic list of questions that you’ve probably heard before. These are questions that most people ask when they are vetting, or investigating, a builder. I bet you can guess many of them:
Are you licensed and insured?
How many years have you been building?
What kind of warranty do you offer?
How do you handle change orders?

This list of questions is from one of my favorite websites, energyvanguard.com. That blog post was called “10 questions to ask your prospective builder.” We’ll cover 9 or those 10 question today.
