When you’re in the process of building a new home you look forward to moving into it as soon as you possibly can. There’s a lot of excitement surrounding setting up your new home and adding all the personal touches that make it yours. The last thing you want to do is have to wait longer than planned to get into your new home.

Everybody has heard the horror stories about home construction projects that take longer than they’re supposed to. The good news is that it doesn’t have to happen to you. And while there can be some delays due to weather or problems with materials, there are things you can do to prevent delays. Here are some common reasons for delays—and what you can do to prevent those delays.

Pay Attention to Your Plan

There are some great floor plans you can choose from when building your New Jersey home. You can take a closer look at the plans from Country Classics in Hillsborough. Many of these plans offer options to make your new home better fit your specific lifestyle. It’s important, however, that you pay attention to the plan (and options) you choose. If you begin making changes to the plans once the actual building begins, that can cause significant delays—not to mention increases in your costs. So take your time before going under contract to make sure you’ve specified the plan and options you want in your home.

Make Your Selections in a Timely Manner

Choosing the kind of cabinets, flooring, countertops, sinks, and fixtures you want is an important decision. It can also be challenging. But you’ll want to make those choices in a timely manner. Allow yourself enough time to make sure that orders for those things are placed far enough in advance that they’ll be on site and ready for installation when the builder needs them. That’s one of the advantages you’ll have with our Home Design Studio. Not only can you get a hands-on look at materials, but you can also be confident that the components will be ready for install as long as you follow your timeline set forth by our Design Studio Director.

Stay in Touch with Your Builder

Every now and then a builder can run into a situation in which your input is needed. Responding quickly to your builder’s questions can help keep your home construction on schedule. 

When you make the decision to build a new home that’s right for your family, you want to get into it as quickly as possible. That’s our goal as well, and why we have a great reputation for delivering homes on time. Keeping these common reasons in mind can enable you to stay on track and get into your home on schedule – with a lot less stress!
