How do I choose the right home builder in Adelaide?

Question

George Giannakakis · Accepted Answer

To choose the right home builder in Adelaide, start by verifying the SA building licence (BLD), HBCF insurance and trading history, then match the builder type to your brief (volume, hybrid or custom), pull three independent references, compare quotes on identical inclusions, stress-test the site cost allowance against your block, interrogate every provisional sum, read the cost-escalation clause, confirm the defect rectification process in writing, verify the contract is a standard HIA or MBA template, and walk a live site at lock-up before signing. Plan four to eight weeks for the full process.
