Specifications and warranties play crucial roles in new home construction for several reasons:
1. Specifications:
- Quality Assurance: Specifications detail the materials, finishes, and construction methods to be used. This ensures that the AMH follows a clear standard, leading to consistent quality in the construction process.
- Avoiding Miscommunication: By clearly outlining the expectations regarding materials, design features, and structural elements, specifications minimize the risk of misunderstandings between AMH and the homeowner.
- Customization and Personalization: For homeowners who want to customize their home, specifications serve as a formal agreement that their desired features, such as flooring, cabinetry, exterior finishes and appliances, will be included as part of the build.
- Cost Management: Well-defined specifications prevent unexpected costs or delays caused by changes or disagreements about what was intended to be included in the construction.
2. Warranties:
- Protecting the Homeowner: Warranties provide a legal guarantee that AMH or our Warranty Partners are responsible for addressing defects in workmanship or materials within a specified time frame. This ensures peace of mind for the homeowner, knowing that issues will be rectified without additional costs.
- Value Preservation: A good warranty helps protect the value of the home by ensuring that any defects are repaired early, preventing further damage or deterioration that could diminish the property’s worth.
- Resale Value: Homes with a valid warranty may have a higher resale value, as buyers are more confident in the quality and longevity of the property when backed by a reliable warranty.
Both specifications and warranties ensure transparency, protect the homeowner's investment.
