The Clean Up
Ask potential builders how they handle site maintenance—do they have a clear answer for you?
When you think about it, your builder’s crew members are the first guests you’ll have in your home. They can’t exactly kick their shoes off and stay for coffee, but they can respect your new home by not leaving a disastrous mess in their path.
Ask potential builders how they handle site maintenance—do they have a clear answer for you? A builder that cares will keep a clean and organized work site. Lumber and supplies should be stacked neatly, which is not only an issue of tidiness but an issue of safety. Garbage should not be blowing around the yard, making a big mess.
Some Builders have a dedicated cleaning crew that is responsible to keep all job sites clean and organized. There are also companies that specialize in jobsite cleaning that can be hired as required.
Cleanliness is professional—something that any reputable builder should exemplify.
