Why Choose Us?

R&M Construction builds more than just houses, we build homes!

When shopping for your builder, the highest bid doesn't always guarantee the best quality - and the cheapest bid may have hidden costs that prevent completion of your new home.

Here are several things to remember when choosing a contractor.

•A contractor should be glad to show you his/her license including the licenses of any subcontractors that will be working on your job site. All of R&M contractors and subcontractors are licensed and insured for everyone’s security and safety.

•Your contractor should be easy to contact. At R&M our phones are never turned off. We are available
for our customers at their convenience to discuss the project. We will be here for you! We help you by following our 7 step customer satisfaction plan:

Step 1: Analyze your budget
Step 2: What kind of house would you like to build?
Step 4: Choose your contractor
Step 5: Arrange for financing
Step 6: Managing the project
Step 7: Closing and moving in

•When comparing contractors, take time to closely review and compare specification and allowance sheets.

-Make sure the quality and cost (allowance) for your household items are the same.

-Make sure there are the same number of outlets, switches and lighting fixtures, etc.

-Compare cabinet, countertop and flooring choices (types of woods, granites, formica's, tile, wood, vinyl and carpeting).

-Make sure the contractor has priced your allowances for the items you have asked for. Unfortunately there are builders who use tactics to make their estimated price appear cheaper so you choose them. At the end of the job you will have to pay them additional money to make up the differences. If these funds are not available it can prevent you from ever moving into your new home.

Here is a hypothetical example:
If your appliance allowance is $1,000 and your appliances actually cost
the contractor $4,000 then you will owe them the extra $3,000
above and beyond the "estimated" house price you agreed on.
In Step 1 of our seven-step process, we listen to what you want and estimate
the price to include those items so there are no surprises.
(now think...where can you get all of your kitchen appliances for $1000.00?)

 

•If you don't use all the money in your allowance, will the contractor refund it to you? R&M Construction and Development gives you back what you don’t spend! After all, it is your money. You can always use the extra money to buy something else for you new home.

•Make sure your contract includes your well and septic if needed (this could cost about $5,500). We include this in your price estimate, again no hidden costs or surprises for you.

•Ask your contractor about costs associated with moving walls, adding electrical outlets, ceiling fans or even a window while under construction. What is the price to change something (change order) during the building process - or can anything be changed at all? We are always here for you through the building process. Making changes is not a problem. You will always be told the price prior to a change, so that you can decide what you want to do.

•Read through your entire contract to make sure everything you agreed on is correct. During pre construction meetings with R&M, we will discuss your contract in detail together. You will receive a folder with literature explaining the entire building process along with a copy of your contract.

If you use all of the above information when choosing your builder you should not have any surprises during or at the end of your job.

We wish you the very best in deciding on any contractor. Building a home should be a fun and wonderful experience.
