Sincerely, OSHAWA-DURHAM HOME BUILDERS' ASSOCIATION Stephen Kassinger President a mortgage, assist you with the legal paper work, and work with you to sell your existing home, if needed. During construction, most home builders encourage their clients to stay involved through regular telephone updates and site visits. Builders often use these opportunities to have home owners fine-tune the de- tails, such as deciding where all electrical outlets should be placed. A few days before handin over the keys, your builder wil take you on a tour of your new home. Together you can note any work to be completed or flaws to be corrected before you move in. The builder will also explain how to operate and maintain the systems in the house and will pass along prod- uct information and manufac- turers' warranties. Many build- ers prepare their own home owner manual which includes information on the community, the features that make your home unique, a detailed expla- nation of the after-sales service schedule and, of course, contact numbers. All builders have an estab- lished system for after-sales service, including a first anni- versary inspection of the whole house. And remember, your builder is only a phone call away if you have further ques- tions about your new home. When you deal with profes- sional home builders, you can expect to get the best possible home for your money and the best possible service, no matter what the size of your budget.
