A lovely photo is a good start, but you cannot move into it. Before choosing a manufacturer, find out exactly what you will get, what the whole project will cost and who takes responsibility if something goes wrong. A low price is only a bargain if it includes the house you actually need.
Start with your needs
Write down whether you plan to live there all year, how many people and rooms the home needs to accommodate, and the finish you want. Include the plot address, preferred floor area and rough budget. A clear brief gets you a much more useful quote.
Find out who is responsible for what
Check which company you will sign a contract with, who will design the house, who will manufacture it and who will assemble it. If several companies participate in the work, the contract should clearly state who is responsible for the final result. The phrase "our partner does it" is a conversation starter, not a full answer.
- Company name and details
- Place of production or work
- The designer and building professionals responsible for the work
- Who provides the warranty, how long it lasts and what it covers
Ask about the home you are actually buying
A general brochure tells you about the company, but not exactly what you are buying. Ask for the floor plan and a full specification. Check the area, wall and roof construction, windows, doors, finishes, heating, ventilation and equipment included in the price.
View an already built house
If possible, visit a show home or completed project. Open the doors, look at the corners, listen to the acoustics and ask how the heating and ventilation work. A visit does not replace a good contract, but a crooked skirting board is much easier to spot in person than on Instagram.
