Home builders in Birmingham

Home builders plan and construct new houses, working from a lot you own or one they help you find. Many handle design, floor plans and site work, and some also offer foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation and drainage work for homes that need it. When you contact a builder, ask what is included in the base price and what is billed as an extra, such as site preparation, upgrades or permits. Ask to see completed homes or speak with past clients, and get the contract spelled out in writing before any work begins. Confirm the builder holds a current license and carries liability insurance, and ask how often they schedule site visits so you know how progress will be reported.
