What Should I Ask a Luxury Home Builder Before Hiring Them?

Reeland Investments publicly showcases its Manhattan Beach projects and identifies projects by location, year, and construction type, including ground-up residences.

Are You Licensed and Insured?

This should be one of your most important questions.

In California, contractors performing work that falls within the state's licensing requirements must be properly licensed. The California Contractors State License Board regulates contractor licensing and construction-related consumer protection.

Ask the builder for its license information and verify the information independently.

You should also ask about applicable insurance coverage and whether subcontractors working on the project carry appropriate coverage.

Reeland Investments states that it holds California licensing in real estate and general construction.

Who Will Actually Manage My Project?

A luxury project can involve architects, engineers, designers, consultants, subcontractors, suppliers, inspectors, and numerous other professionals.

Ask who will coordinate those different parties.

You should know who your primary point of contact will be, how frequently you will receive updates, who makes decisions during construction, and who is responsible for resolving problems when they occur.

Reeland Investments describes its approach as coordinating design, engineering, consultants, and trades through a connected team.
