Billion dollar builders have the upper hand and unequal bargaining strength when selling you a home. They require you to sign their single sided contracts which are actually take it or leave it ‘contracts of adhesion’ binding you to arbitration clauses which eliminate your right to sue them for nearly any fraud or construction defect.
Your intended home purchase is your single largest asset and can cost you tens of thousands in additional yearly mortgage fees or hundreds of thousands in repair costs if fraudulently financed or defectively built.
Buildercheck.com reviews your purchase and loan documents and advises you regarding the possible pitfalls when financing the property with a builder’s in house affiliated lender. Key clauses are identified which can lead to your hard earned deposits’ ‘forfeiture at the builder’s discretion.’
Buildercheck.com reviews your phased construction pictures. Most builders don’t allow site inspections during construction because they don’t want knowledgeable construction experts to meddle with their production schedules. After all, time is money. The owner however, is allowed to visit the contracted property and take pictures which can then be uploaded to the web for review. Buildercheck.com recommends the particular items to be photographed to check for code compliance and direct the owner to what to look for at the next visit.
Buildercheck.com can help you compel a reluctant builder’s warranty repairs. Most builders hold contracts with warranty companies which are more likely to refuse service (greater than 80%) than to honor your bona fide request. Both the builder and the warranty sub contractor would rather see your home crumble about your feet than pay you for their shoddy workmanship or own up to the problems.
