If you are planning to build a new home, you know you need to hire the right builder for the job. Choosing a reputable builder with an established track record is critical to getting the house of your dreams. The key is trust. There are many qualified builders who take home construction seriously. They are business people who know that they have to earn your trust and work to keep it. They understand that their unstinting commitment to your project is the only way that’s going to happen.
In addition, to asking for and checking references, appropriate licensing, and insurance, qualify your builder by asking if home building is his or her full-time business. Some new homebuilders work part time. While they may be perfectly honest, they may not have the commitment to quality construction, adhering to schedules and budget, or warranty capability that a full-time committed professional would have. Also question how long he or she has been in business, how many homes he or she has built, the length of time he or she has been in business.
Another important question to ask is if he or she is a member of a builders association and if so, which one. You can check to see if the builder is in good standing with his professional peers. Often the builder’s associations require members to adopt an ethical code as a condition of membership.

Nebraska is roughly rectangular, except in the northeast and the east where the border is formed by the irregular course of the Missouri River and in the southwest where the state of Colorado cuts out a squared corner. The land rises more or less gradually from 840 ft (256 m) in the east to 5,300 ft (1,615 m) in the west. The great but shallow Platte River, formed in W Nebraska by the junction of the North Platte and the South Platte, flows across the state from west to east to join the Missouri S of Omaha. The Platte and the Missouri, together with their tributaries, give Nebraska all-important water sources that are essential to farming in this agrarian state. Underground water sources are also widely used for irrigation. The river valleys have long provided routes westward, and today the transcontinental railroads and highways follow the valleys.
