How To Pick A Home Builder

Plan. Many people don't get what they want because they don't know what they want. Be prepared to tell the home builder exactly what you have in mind. A few points to consider include what uses the home will serve, exterior and interior appearance, square footage, if you want gardens or storage, number of bathrooms, and type of plumbing and lighting fixtures.
Budget. You want your original plan to accommodate all your desires. If all your desires put you over your budget, it's time to modify. A good home builder will be able to suggest as few modifications as necessary so you can get within your budget without losing the dream.
Make a list. I recommend making a preliminary list of reputable home builders in your area. Recommendations, word of mouth, online rating systems, newspapers and magazines make good resources for compiling your list.   Remember with Large companies who build hundreds of homes a year that you will be just one in a pond of many. Also, you will have a superintendent overseeing your home not a general contractor. Where as with smaller companies the owner/operator who should be a general contractor will more likely be running your job.
Conduct interviews. It's important to have all your preparation finished by the time you interview the builders. You're in charge. They work for you. Make sure they can give you what you want. It's best to schedule all interviews in advance; this can help you resist the temptation to sign with the first builder you interview. Find out how long the business has been around, and ask about relevant experience, financial status of the builder's license and its insurance coverage. Also, go on your gut feeling. You should feel comfortable talking to him.
