Building a personalized home is a rewarding experience, but the process can be lengthy and challenging to manage without the right resources. The best way to protect against the stresses of home building is to learn what to expect.
Get Ready to Formulate a PlanThe first and most important step in home building is selecting which community location, home site and plans works best for you. These serve as the foundation for the entire construction process. Working with a production builder, like Robertson Homes, will save you lots of time and money not having to start from scratch on items like hiring an architect or having to go through municipal permitting on your own.
Be Prepared for the CommitmentThe prospect of a new home creates excitement, but many are unaware of exactly how long it takes to build a home from start to finish. The timeline depends on specifications and plans, but the building construction alone can take six to nine months, and that doesn't initial meetings and time to make design selections. Expect to be in it for the long haul. It will be worth it!
Expect Constant CommunicationThere are so many people and lots of commotion involved in the building process. Even in the most meticulously planned builds, buyers should maintain frequent communication with the builder and the crews. Always be ready to answer questions, even if plans have already been discussed, and don't be afraid to reiterate preferences.
Experienced Professionals Make All the DifferenceBuilding a home is expensive, but it's not worth cutting corners on the professionals hired to complete the job. Despite the potential struggles involved in new home construction, the process can be enjoyed and can proceed quite smoothly when an experienced, reputable builder is trusted with the job.

Matt is a fantastic sales representative who wears the face of Robertson Brothers very well, working with him during the home buying process was a joy and effortless. My next home purchase (in 5 year) I will definitely be reaching out to Matt at Robertson. Noel is by far the hardest worker in the entire Robertson Brothers company, and I mean that with all sincerity. I checked on my home builder progress on a weekly basis and now matter how busy Noel was he always made sure to say hello to me and answered any questions I had. I only called/texted him a couple times and he got back to me in minutes every time. He even helped me with two warranty issues after I moved in and he resolved each within 24 hours of me texting him. This guy is fantastic and I seriously hope his hard work is appreciated within the company.
