BUILDING A NEW HOME
When working with a builder to build a new home your builder may have existing relationship with window or door suppliers. It is important to make sure you understand what windows and doors will be used in your project. To ensure you are happy with the windows and doors you are paying for as part of your build we recommend:
- Visiting the showroom of your builders window supplier so you can see touch and experience the aluminium windows or aluminium doors you will be purchasing
- Asking questions about, quality, compliance and glass selection
In some instances you may find aluminium windows or aluminium doors which you believe will be ideal for your home from a window or door supplier your builder hasn’t previously dealt with. If this is the case talk to your builder, understand what rights you have make changes under your building contract and encourage your builder to talk to the alternate supplier you have found so he or she can understand the technical details of the products you have selected. Ultimately it is your home, you need to ensure you are happy with products which will be used in it. Windows and doors are a defining feature in a home and have the potential to impact upon your comfort and lifestyle so a confident selection is critical.
