Shouldn’t the builder or remodeler entrusted with that investment be one who is invested in their industry and one whose commitment to excellence goes beyond paying to be in an online advertising list?
Choosing a Dallas Builders Association member takes the guesswork out by helping ensure you are hiring a professional who is committed to their craft.
Dallas Builders Association members are up to date on the latest technology, building methods and business practices. They have access to award-winning continuing education courses and top-rated professional designations that give them an edge in the building industry.
When looking for a builder, here are some things to keep in mind:
Seek a professional: Look for companies that emphasize customer service, quality, integrity and a commitment to education. Be sure to check out our FAQ page for considerations on hiring a legitimate builder remodeler and what to know before employing a design build firm.
Commitment to education: Professional builders know that the quality of their service depends on ensuring that their team members have the tools to be successful with professional certification and continuing education.
Customer service: A member company that is truly committed to client satisfaction will emphasize outstanding service from every member of its team and maintain a professional approach in every interaction.
Quality: Be careful when assessing the prices set by different builders. The quality of the materials and service can make a significant difference in cost.
Integrity: Is your prospective builder trustworthy? Do they avail themselves to peer review through membership in and active involvement with a professional organization like the Dallas BA?
References: A reputable builder will be glad to provide you with names of former clients, as well as suppliers, subcontractors and consultants such as architects and engineers with whom they’ve worked.
When selecting a builder, consider hiring one who holds a Certified Graduate Builder (CGB) or Graduate Master Builder (GMB) certification. Builders who have earned the CGB or GMB certifications are experienced professionals who have voluntarily engaged in professional development and other continuing education opportunities.
Candidates must have several years of building experience before they can earn a certification. They are required to take courses on building technology, finance, project management, sales and marketing, and safety. Before graduating, they must sign a Code of Ethics and provide proof of the appropriate registrations, certifications and insurance required.
Members who hold active certifications can be found through the Dallas BA advanced builder search.
