For most people, purchasing a home is the biggest investment they’ll ever make. That’s why selecting the right custom home builder is one of the most critical decisions in the home-building journey.
At Vazquez Family Builders, we understand that building a home is about more than just construction—it’s about bringing your vision to life with quality craftsmanship, expert guidance, and an exceptional experience.
If you’re wondering what to look for when selecting a custom home builder, we’ve put together key factors to consider.
Is the Custom Home Builder Licensed?
When choosing a home builder in Florida, licensing is non-negotiable. A licensed general contractor ensures that your builder:
✅ Meets all state and local building regulations
✅ Has experience handling permits & inspections
✅ Understands Florida’s strict hurricane-resistant construction codes
✅ Carries liability and worker’s compensation insurance
Another important reason to work with a licensed builder? Financing. Banks and lenders are more willing to approve construction loans when the builder is properly licensed and experienced.
🔹 Vazquez Family Builders is a Class A Licensed General Contractor—meaning we meet the highest standards in the industry.
Does the Builder Have a Proven Track Record?
A reputable custom home builder will have a portfolio of past projects showcasing their expertise, creativity, and attention to detail. The best builders also have strong financial stability and partnerships with lenders, subcontractors, and suppliers.
When researching a builder, consider:
✔ Project Portfolio – Do they build homes that align with your vision?
✔ Client Testimonials – Are past clients happy with their experience?
✔ Industry Experience – How long has the builder been in business?
✔ References – Can they connect you with past clients?
Vazquez Family Builders is proud to have a long-standing reputation for excellence. Our homes are built with integrity, craftsmanship, and attention to detail, and we welcome you to view our past projects.
Does the Builder Understand the Land & Site Preparation?
Building in Florida comes with unique land challenges. A seasoned home builder should be able to assess your land and identify potential issues before construction begins, such as:
✔ Drainage & Flood Zones – Is the land prone to water retention or flooding?
✔ Soil Conditions – Will the foundation require additional reinforcement?
✔ Utility Connections – What are the costs for water, sewer, and electricity hookups?
✔ Local Zoning & HOA Rules – Are there restrictions on what can be built?
At Vazquez Family Builders, we specialize in Build On Your Land (BOYL) construction. We evaluate every lot to ensure it’s ready for your dream home before breaking ground.
Does the Builder Prioritize Communication?
The best home builders make communication a top priority. Building a custom home involves many details and decisions, and you need a builder who is:
✅ Accessible – Quickly responds to calls, emails, and questions
✅ Transparent – Keeps you informed about the construction timeline and progress
✅ Client-Focused – Offers one-on-one consultations to ensure your vision is met
At Vazquez Family Builders, we keep you in the loop every step of the way. From initial consultation to final walkthrough, we ensure a smooth and stress-free experience.
Has the Builder Earned Industry Recognition?
A strong reputation and industry recognition set great builders apart. Look for home builders who have received:
✔ Awards for craftsmanship & design
✔ Recognition from industry associations
✔ Positive media coverage
✔ Strong client referrals
🏆 Vazquez Family Builders is proud to be recognized for quality, integrity, and innovation in the custom home-building industry.
