Deuxième Omega: Part II
Summary: Jensen is not dealing well with his unexpected divorce and before the ink is even dry, he is pushed into another union with a complete stranger.
Pairing: Alpha!Jensen Ackles x Omega!OFC
Word Count: 2859
Warnings: A/B/O, angst, angry Jensen, cursing, illness, arranged marriage, divorces, talk of Alpha dominance over Omega, suspected eating disorder, past abuses, vehicle drama
A/N: Sorry this took so long to get this part out, my antique laptop decided to eat over 2,000 words and have had to piece back together from memory so hopefully it makes sense.
A/N II: There is no intentional hate or malevolence intended towards any of the Ackles family. This is a purely fictional piece containing real and created persons/names/events set in the fictional A/B/O verse.Â
Part I
*Supernatural doesnât end in season 15 and some dates/events have been altered to fit the story.
*no beta, all mistakes are mine
The Next Day
Jensen waves his hand around again at that buzzing insect driving him crazy. Heâs finally conscious enough to recognize the sound, it wasnât a bug but his phone vibrating incessantly. Picking his head up and instantly regretting it starts patting around the bed for his phone.
âlo...â
âAre you still drunk?â A deep, honey-whiskey and way too damn loud for the morning voice barked at him.
âJared?â
âNo, fucking Misha.â
âToo early for your shit Jay...â
âDude, itâs three-thirty in the afternoon.â
âWHAT!â Jensen yells sitting up too fast, the pain ricocheting throughout his head sends him flying off the bed, barely making it to the toilet before regurgitating everything he ingested last night. The toilet automatically flushes as he sits back against the bathtub groaning like a dying water buffalo.
âReally wish you'd hung up before sharing that,â Jared quips in a queasy voice, âIâm gonna regret this but Face Time me.â
Jensen cracked his eyes open enough to locate the button and tapping it Jared appears dressed in his running gear with a bandana holding his hair back. âNo offense but you look like hammered shit. I was gonna call earlier but Gen threatened to have my left nut if I did.â
Jensen grunts and closes his eyes against the bright outdoor light emanating from the phone.
âAre youâŚâ Jensen tunes him out for a minute then,â âcause thereâs something you need to know about, itâs really bad.â
He opens his eyes and itâs worse than he could have imagined going by the expression on Jaredâs face.
âOne of your clan sold you out, got it all on cellphone video, social mediaâs blowing up. Hell, even Fox News Channel picked it up.â
Jensen listens to the description of his expressions at the surprise traditional ceremony, his drunken stumbling around the reception with his new wife submissively following, his scoffing at the speeches during the reception and ignoring his silent, veil wife sitting next to him.
âMy favorite bit was Alan and Josh carrying you out of the can.â
Jared's expression turned serious, âPeople are talking, we can't cover for you anymore. I got a text from higher ups cause no one could get hold of you for obvious reasons. PRâs gotta get ahead of this.â
âIâm a fuckup.â
âYeah but we still love you. So, what's her name?â
Jensen licked his lips, biting the bottom one.
âPlease tell me you know her name.â
âI..I don't even know what she looks like Jay.â
Jared ran his hand over his mouth, âThe first thing you do is get up, take a shower and brush your goddamn teeth. Then you apologize, fucking supplicate yourself, to your new wife..unless youâve already decided to put her aside.â
Jensen's head snapped up unbelieving that his friend, the man who was his brother in every way except blood, could think that of him.
âYou really believe I could do that?â
Jared smiled, âNo, you're too good of a man, an Alpha, to do that. I want you to remember one thing, in all this, sheâs not the one who screwed you over.â
***
Jensen stepped out the shower forgoing shaving since the show was on a short break. He wiped the steam from the mirror and stared at this haggard expression and developing beer gut. Iâve got to get back on my exercise routine. Makeup and wardrobe could only mask so much.
Reaching for his bath kit he knocked a hand towel off the counter. Bending over to retrieve it he noticed a shoe with netting in the wastebasket. Pulling it out he saw a brown smear inside one of the heels, remembering how much trouble she had with them last night and made a mental note to inquire about her feet.
Washing his hands and searching through his kit realizing heâd forgotten his toothbrush. Opening on the cabinets he located the complementary ones. As heâs brushing Jensen sees another brush sitting in a glass by the other sink with a neatly folded hand towel and hanging washcloth.
Huh, she must have forgotten hers too.
Tossing his kit bag in the suitcase he dressed in a pair of well worn jeans and a T-shirt. Quietly entering the common area the curtains set open just enough for him to see her curled up on the couch, still in her wedding dress, asleep. He walked over to check on her when a knock at the door made her bolt upright.
âIt's room service, I asked them to text so not to wake you.â He answered the door and had a brief word with the waiter who apologized, the ticket didnât say not to knock. They deposited a coffee decanter, several covered dishes, bottles of water and left taking the cart with them.
Jensen sat down and before he could ask how she took her coffee, his wife scrambled off the couch and was kneeling at his feet, head bowed and hands folded in her lap.
âWhat are you doing?â He asked incredulously, having never seen anyone do this before.
âAwaiting you instructions Alpha.â
âInstruc...get up!â He gripped her upper arm, shocked at how far his fingers wrapped around it and helped her to the other chair. Sitting back down Jensen got his first look at his new wife.
Sleep tousled, dark blonde hair frame cheekbones overly prominent for the shape of her face, wide set eyes a blue-grey color with amber rings around the pupils. Her lips were full, the bottom lip slightly off center. She was not the Hollywood standard of beauty he was used to, and if compared to them, sheâd only be considered moderately pretty.
âI was only doing what is expectedâŚâ
âKneeling at my feet like an obedient dog!â He barked as she said, â..of the Omega.â
âWhatâs expected?â
âIn the book..â
âPlease look at me when speaking.â She raises her eyes but doesnât meet his, â..it states that the Omega is subservient and the act of humbling ourselves shows respect for the Alpha, as is their due.â
Jensen sat back shocked, running both of his hands through his still damp hair, making it stand up to resemble a hedgehog. He was in over his head and, for one of the few times in his life, didnât know what to do and the first person he would have turned to for advice had banned all communication.
He took a deep breath to refocus and leaned forward, resting his arms on his legs to look her in the eye, âI need you to forget what I said last night. I..Iâm angry, feels like I..we..were ambushed by this situation. I shouldnât have taken it out on you, Iâm sincerely sorry.â
âI donât understand, are you apologizing to me?â
âItâs what people do when theyâve done something wrong and what I did was unforgivable. I want to make it up to you if youâll let me and hopefully we can make a go of this.â
She looked at him dubiously but nodded once.
***
Jensen finished the last dregs of his coffee while packing, having decided to head back to Austin tonight. Clif had texted him he was ready whenever they were.
Sitting down on the bed he listened to the running shower and reaching his phone picked it up to start recording a video message.
He apologized for his atrocious behavior the last two years, asking the fans not to take it out on the show, this was all on him. To his coworkers for having to cover for him, they should have never been put in that position and if he had better character they wouldnât have had too.
He next apologized to his family for his inexcusable behavior last night, which should have stayed private within their clan, and fully accepted his banishment by the clan leader, his father, for however long he deemed fit.
He lastly apologized to his new wife, they were irrecoverably tied together and heâd do whatever she demanded from him to make up for the horrendous treatment heâd shown her and hoped sheâd give him a chance to make a go of their marriage.
He uploaded the video to his few online accounts and turned the phone off, wearily running a hand over his face. Getting up to take one last look he found his jacket from the wedding hanging in the closet.
Folding it he hears a crinkling noise and reaches into the inner pocket finding the marriage certificate. Tossing the jacket on the bed he unrolls the certificate reading his wifeâs name Iseult.
âItâs pronounced Ee-sult Alpha.â
Jensen's head jerked up in surprise, âHey, um, we're heading out as soon as you're ready.â
âOh, okay, Iâll need you to button my dress Alpha.â She said repacking his bath kit she'd borrowed.
Jensen furrowed his brow, âWouldnât you be more comfortable in something else, I mean, Iâm telling you what to wear but itâs a three hour drive to my..our home.â
Iseult looked down playing with one of the pearlescent buttons, âWhen I married my hus..ex husband, our prenup stated that I only got what I had in my possession at the time. Apparently, he disposed of my things at some point,â she fanned out the shirt, âthis dress, shoes and veil, your mother purchased them otherwise the media would have had a lot more to exploit at my..our expense Alpha.â
âLet me give you something of mine.â
âAnything of yours will swallow me, you're much more solid. There is a Walmart on..â she abruptly stopped at Jensen's raised eyebrow, âIâm sorry Alpha, I overstepped my place.â She bowed her head and hunched her shoulders, exuding the scent of fear as if she is expecting punishment from him.
What had happened to this woman to make her believe she should cower and gravel? Jensen manages to keep his anger in check, not wanting her to be more scared of him than she was, thinking who the hell is her ex-husband and what had he done to make her like this?
Jensen slowly walked behind her and gripping the fabric was once again dismayed at how prominent her shoulder blades were, his gut telling him her slenderness wasn't something natural.
As he fastened the buttons he spoke in the gentle voice he used when Jared's daughter Odette was upset, âIf you can survive till tomorrow Iâll take you to get whatever you need.â She nodded once.
âCan I make one request Alpha?â
âYou donât have to request anything, just ask.â
âI have a prescription I need refilled, thereâs a pharmacy on Wilmont, itâs on the way.â
He plucked the jacket off the bed and held it open, âPlease, it's getting chilly.â She slid her arms into the sleeves and Jensen saw she was right about being swallowed. He put on his ball cap and headed out.
When they got off the elevators Jensen went deeper into the hotel. He stopped at an employees only entrance off the kitchen and knocked twice. A double knock answered and he pushed it open to reveal a waiting SUV. He introduced Clif and handed him the bag, taking it to the vehicle's rear and loaded it before getting back in.
The wind had started picking up ahead of the late autumn thunderstorm. Iseult grabbed her whipping hair in one hand and her skirt in the other as Jensen opened the back door.
âIseult?â
âI was waiting for you Alpha, its proper etiquette.â
âI was raised itâs proper for a lady to enter first, please,â he held his hand out to her.
Iseult released her hair and hesitantly took his hand. Jensen felt a skittering sensation go up his spin as Iseult quivered, staring into his eyes as a whirling wind intermingled their scents, enthralling them.
Clif politely coughed, âWe need to go before the bottom falls out.â
A tremendous thunderclap sent them scrambling into the car as the heavens let loose.
***
The trip to Austin was darker than usual, the weather slowing the drive back and with the incident at the pharmacy, Jensen still couldnât believe it, refusing the prescription now that she was married to an Alpha, needing his verbal consent.
Clif interceded before he went off about the subjugation of Omegas in modern society, reminding him they were in predominantly conservative Texas, where this thinking was considered normal, not California.
Jensen glanced over to see Iseult staring out the window when his phone vibrated. Picking it up from the cup holder he saw a text from Josh.
>Jenny, know Iâm not supposed to be in touch but call me!!! Need to know the shit going down here.<
Josh picked up on the first ring, âMan, all hell breaking loose. Your wife's ex didn't notify his clan that he was divorcing or remarrying her and theyâve filed an appeal with the Pack council to get her back.â
âWe were married in the Traditional...â
âThe fuck Jenny, did living in La La land make you forget everything? Your the second son of a clan leader, you know Pack law supersedes all federal, state and religious laws. Theyâve dug up some obscure sub-clause that states a clan has first right to remarry an Omega within the clan and if they donât whoever takes them must pay settlements.â
âWhat are settlements?â
âHas your brain fallen out of your ass? The bride price.â
âJosh, that's insane, it's 2020....â
âNo shit Sherlock, but this is Texas. Fuck, dads back already. Iâm gonna leave my phone on, keep your goddamn mouth shut or it's gonna be my ass too!â
Jensen canât make out anything then his mother clearly says, â..they are asking what for her?â
âTen million.â
âYour shitting me!â
âJoshua, language young man.â
âFive of itâs compensation for damages done to the Omega.â
âWhat damages? Jennyâs got a temper, what Alpha doesnât, but he wouldnât hurt anyone unless he was forced to.â
Alan cleared his throat in the manner Jensen had come to know that somethingâs making him uncomfortable. âIt seems the Omega was..unsullied when she married her ex-husband.â
âHoly shit! You mean sheâs never been with an Alpha before Jensen?â
âJoshua, I will not tolerate that language and we will absolutely not discuss your brothers new wifeâs...virtue.â
Jensen hears the tinkling of glass, âDonna, did you know about any of this?â
âWell..no, of course not.â Her answer wasnât very convincing.
âDonna, what are you not saying?â Alanâs Alpha voice resonated, he only used it when his mate was being evasive about something sheâd done.
âWhen Danneel wasnât willing to reproduce for Jensen I put out some feelers about finding him an OmegaâŚâ
âJesus Fucking Christ! Even if it is acceptable for Jensen to have a second wife with Danneel being a Beta, he would never agree to it.â
âIâm not telling you again about your language. I might have, at one of my appointments, casually indicated to Brent that I wanted an Omega like his.â
Who the hell is this Brent?
âWait, Brent Worthington?!â
Jensen dropped his phone. It smacked against his other hand turning on the speaker allowing everyone in the car to hear.
âDonna, have you any idea what youâve done?â
âI never thought he'd actually offer her, they always seemed so happy together.â
âHe took your casual indication as an actual offer for his wife. You do understand that while we have to deal with each other they are still our rivals.â
The Ackles and Worthingtons were two of the original founding clans of the Dallas Pack, and rivals for centuries. Iseult had been married to the only Beta son of Abraham, the Clans Alpha, like Alan.
Joshâs voice shook as he spoke, âMom, if the council decides to return her do you have any idea what theyâll do if Jensenâs already mated and claimed her?â
Thereâs a ringing phone and Alan answered, his voice loud then faint, apparently pacing around the room.
In the SUV dim interior Jensen could see Iseult shaking, awaiting the decision.
âThe council sided with the Worthington's stating the lawâŚâ
Jensenâs inner Alpha raged, loosening a wrawl causing Clif to jerk the wheel, swerving across the wet lanes, throwing Jensen against the seat in front of him, landing on the floorboard before the vehicle was under control and stopped on the shoulder. Twisting around he sees Clif opening the back door checking on Iseult while Alanâs voice filled the otherwise silent SUV.
â...but taking into consideration todayâs social climate they came back with the final decision since she remarried another clan leader's son her status is unchanged, so if we send her back thereâs no penalty for damages. If we choose to keep her, itâs five million due to the Omegas age.â
âWhat did you tell them dad?â
âI told them we were keeping her, I wonât be the cause of anymore upheaval in my son's life. However,â Alanâs voice turned hard, âthe council has ordered additional financial penalties set against both clan leaders for the transgressions committed by their families.â
âHow much?â
âI paid twenty-five million for a Deuxième Omega.â

hi! For the writer's questions, please: 4, 13, 28
Hey, thanks for this!Â
4. How many fic ideas are you nurturing right now? Care to share one of them?
Iâm currently writing Lopezâs 8 [which has a whole TRAILER now thanks to @yourstreetserenade] and that has most of my attention at the moment but just before I started that project, I was thinking about this quarterback/cheerleader AU. It was inspired by that one picture where the cheerleader is tying up the quarterbackâs hair bc I think Brittany as a quarterback is hella hot and everyone needs it including me LOL.Â
13. Whatâs the best writing advice youâve ever come across?
I donât remember where I heard it from, but someone once said that if you come to a âroad blockâ while youâre writing and you canât overcome it even after youâve taken a break from it just start deleting. You keep going until you get to place where you were happy with what you were writing and then you start again. This has helped me so much over the past few months now that Iâve started writing more because my thoughts can be all over the place and I have a habit of going off draft and getting myself stuck.
28. Share three of your favorite fic writers and why you like them so much.
thefooliam - Literally everything she writes is pure gold, most of my favorite fics are written by her! Characterizations are always on point and she has a way of hurting you with this amazing angst and then patching your wounds with the sweetest of fluff. The range is unmatched.Â
Halfrobotchicken - This one here...probably one of the best dialogue writers out there. It just flows so well and again the characterizations are so on point! I can actually hear some of the lines in my head in the characterâs voices so thatâs some real talent there! Also the 2859 verse is iconic.Â
Swinging Cloud - The smut...my God. A million chef kisses, thatâs all.Â

Alpha Under Restraint
by TwoHeartsOneHome28
âWell.. My rut is coming up and..â Theyâd been through many heats and ruts together by now and each time was just as brilliant and perfect as the time before. Nothing had ever been wrong, or a concern, and if there was then they were able to talk about it. Harry simply hummed at him from his spot and Louis forgot how to breathe about him for a moment. âWell, I wanted to try something with you..â He couldnât get enough of what heâd heard about and he wanted so badly to try it with Harry. Harry said nothing in response, simply taking Louisâ hand into his own and playing with his fingers, pressing a kiss to his skin in an attempt to soothe him. âI saw this thing about like, well..â Harry didnât pressure him, just let Louis take his time to talk. âThere was an Alpha talking on this kink site about how he got his Omega to handcuff him during his rut and.. I was thinking maybe we could try that..?â

Rating :Explicit | Words :46781
Summary:
Dean swallowed drily again, feeling his tongue heavy and weird inside his mouth, but he still managed to say, âSeriously, Cas, I⌠I need this. I really do. And youâre the only one who can do it. Youâre the only one I trust to do this.â The hunterâs voice sounded far too hoarse, still lacking the confidence he wished to convey, and he licked his lips, looking down, focusing his gaze on a particular spot on the sheets. He fiddled with a loose thread he found there, feeling that difficulty to sit still for too long making itself known once more. He cleared his throat, and tried again, âAnd this is the easiest way, too. It just solves everything. You can check the damage Michael did. You can try to dig up some memories, to see if I can remember how I got this scar. And you can make sure that⌠that heâs really gone.â His voice did fail this time, throat feeling dry and tight, and he swallowed again to try and fix that, but it did very little to help.
The slightest hint of a feeble, empty smile tugged the corner of Deanâs mouth upward, words coming out far too low and weak when he added, âThree birds, one stone, right?â
As if this really were that simple.

Rating : Explicit | Words: 48100
Summary:
When photographer Dean Winchester is not capturing momentous occasions like weddings and graduations with his Nikon, he is moonlighting as the cameraman for the South Shore Paranormal; a ghost hunting series on YouTube, headed by his brother Sam, and Samâs best friend Gabriel.
Despite his brotherâs adamance, Dean Winchester does not believe in ghosts. And no one is going to change his mind. Certainly not a scam artist like Castiel Novak. Castiel is a self-proclaimed medium⌠and Gabrielâs brother. When a member of the SSP team has to leave the crew, Castiel is the replacement, much to Deanâs dismay. But the more they work together, the more Dean is drawn to Castiel, the man stirring up protective instincts usually only reserved for family.
What happens when Dean realizes that Castiel is not the fake he always thought he was, but instead, a generous soul that Dean is rapidly falling in love with?

Rating: Explicit | Words: 28511
Summary:
Just four ingredients is all they need to reopen the rift. Archangel grace, the Seal of Solomon, blood of a most holy man, and a fruit from the tree of life.
Castiel returns from Syria with the fruit, saying that he killed some djinn and bargained with the rest. But just what bargain did Cas make with the djinni queen? What did he experience at her hands?
Heavenâs great leader of armies prides himself on his self-control, his steadfast courage under pressure. But when the djinniâs dream is everything heâs ever hoped forâŚ
âLife, and the world, and mine own self, are changed For a dreamâs sake.â -Christina Rossetti

Rating: Not Rated | Words: 1776
Summary:
Remember when Cas went shopping for Dean? So does the shop assistant.
Dean marched along the sidewalk towards the entrance, âOkay, coffee, beer, pie, Samâs rabbit food, beer, anything you want Cas?â Dean glanced up from the list on his phone, did a double take and spun round, âCas?â
Cas had stopped in his tracks just a few feet from the Impala, realizing where Dean was headed. His face was gravely serious as he stared at the familiar building they were about to enter. Dean followed his gaze before looking back at Cas.
âCould we perhaps go somewhere else?â

Rating: General | Words: 3231
Summary:
âThis was it. This was truly the pinnacle of Deanâs depressing life; here he was, staring at his squishy stomach, stripped of both his clothes and pride, while Cas attempted to placate him like an insecure girlfriend.
âCas, we arenât partners, that doesnât apply to us.â
'But we are partners, Dean,â Cas insisted. 'We work together.â
'Rightâbut the magazine was referring to a different kind of partner. Iâm not your, uh, significant other.â
'I think you are significant, Dean.â
Deanâs face grew hot and he suddenly found himself wishing he had a shirt on. Or pants. Preferably both.â

Sheâs always had a make and a model, but itâs only after Castiel parks her in the bunker garage, Dean coming to lean irreverently against her side, that she has a name.
âWhen you were Castiel,â Dean says, âyou were untouchable. Unknowable. A stranger. But now youâre Cas. Youâre our friend. Our family. Not quite sure when one became the other, but the person who this car belongs to is definitely Cas. So maybeâŚweâve been calling her the Continental, right? But thatâs so formal. You know her now, so she needs a nickname. What if we called her Connie?â
âConnie,â Cas repeats, testing the feel of it. He hums to himself, sounding as pleased as she feels. âI like it.â

Summary:
Officer Dean Winchester is enjoying a pleasant, relaxing night shift when he stumbles across a battered and bloodied body in a damp alleyway. Thinking the man dead, Dean stalks over to investigate but is taken off-guard when the man cries out. Upon closer inspection, the man has been drugged to the point of near-unconsciousness. Dean decides a trip to the doctorâs is in order; luckily, his brother is exactly that.
When Sam checks Castiel over though, both Winchesters are shocked by what they find. Not only that, but Castiel is apparently homeless and has no family or friends he can stay with. Heâs confused by the most basic of every day tasks (are toothbrushes so difficult to understand?) and he says the strangest things that has Sam and Dean scratching their heads. Sam decides Castiel should stay with him for a while and whilst Dean is initially against his brother rooming with a complete stranger, heâs intrigued by the mysterious Castiel Novak. What is the man hiding?

Ignis pulled out a tourniquet, wrapping it around his arm and pulling it tight with his teeth. "That should slow the spread of the toxin. For what it's worth, Hundleg venom is rarely fatal."
"Rarely?" Noct demanded.
Ignis acted liked he hadn't heard, wiping at his wound with a handkerchief. "I may be quite ill for a few days. Perhaps it would be best if we made our way to the closest outpost. I'll need fluids."
"Fluids?" Noct protested.
Ignis was already heading for the haven at a quick walk. He made it most of the way before he swayed once, staggered, and fell.

In your opinion, which fandom has/had better fic writers: brittana or spashley? Also fave brittana fic of all time? And fave spashley fic of all time?
Spashley, imo. There were some really amazing Brittana fics, of course, but Spashley fics were just on the next level and thereâs been some that have stayed with me until now. Iâm so sad some of them are forever lost with the Spashley Forum being down :
All time favorite Brittana fic is probably 2859 or Dance On Our Graves, because theyâre my most reread. Though the first fic I read for them, that really got me into them when I was just casually into them before, was Influence, but that one doesnât really hold up to me now, and the last couple chapters leave a lot to be desired. Still holds a place in my heart, though.
Spashley, obviously the Lincoln verse is iconic and I love it, even if LOL went on for like 10-20 chapters too many lmao. But also Blanket of Stars and basically anything from the best of s (especially How Shall I Speak of Doom?, Recitatif and World Spins Madly On).

12 QUESTIONS TO ASK WHEN HIRING A CUSTOM HOME BUILDER When interviewing potentialcustom home builders there are twelve questions you need to ask. The answers they provide will help you determine their communication style their eagerness to be involved in the process and their understanding of your project. Questions You Have To Ask Can you work with my designer during the designing phase to make sure that we are building a home that meets the set budget? What methods and strategies do you plan to use to know the actualcost of the custom home? How do you want to be compensated for the services you render during the preconstruction phase? Is the quality and style of the house we want to have within your comfort zone? Who will manage the construction of the house and how frequently will the custom home building be supervised directly? Can I meet the project superintendent or the project manager who will sit on top of the project daily? How do you plan to address any concerns or inquiries during the construction process? How competent are the subcontractors who will be working on my custom home building project? In case there are alterations or adjustments on the design or any unexpected circumstances that will lead to additional cost what methods will you use to inform the designer or the owner? How long do you need to complete this project? How will you be paid for your work? How will you service the warranty once the construction of mycustom homeis complete? There are many things you need to track during the construction of your custom home and that is why it is crucial that theMyrtle Beachcustom home builderyou hire has an organized and clear system to monitor all of the aspects of the project. The custom home builder must be able to give you certain documents to show in detail their methods and processes. He or she must present a sample of the following: Contract and preferred way of compensation Budget and thorough explanation of the tracking invoicing and payments of monthly billings Draw requests to a lender and complete description of the process. Lien release as well as overview of your rights under the county and state law. Construction schedule showing the building timeline milestones projected cash flow and crucial decisions that should be made Change order request as well as description of the processes Warranty Maintenance and operational manual Once the initial interview is done dont forget to ask the custom home builderto give a list of their past clients at least three and two existing clients. Get in touch with them and meet them personally. That way you will get to hear what they have to say and obtain answers to important questions. If possible you should also visit the houses of their past clients or at least check them out from the outside. Here are some questions you should ask the references: Where original estimates correct? Was the custom home building project completed on time? Was the custom home building project completed on budget? Did the custom home builder require you to make decisions on a timely manner? Where the finances transparent and clear? What were the reactions of your custom home builder when faced with stressful circumstances? Did the custom home builder clearly communicate the schedule? When the project started what role did your custom home builder take? Where there other contractors who worked for your custom home builder on the project that you will hire in case you wanted another house built? How did your custom home builder respond to callbacks? Was the project organized and clean? Were there any subcontractors who worked on the project that you want to or do not want to recommend? Additional Research: References dont end with clients. You have to know the builders credentials and current standing with the State Contractors Board as well as theBetter Business Bureau. You also need to ask your builder if they have held or currently hold contractor licenses in other states over the past ten years. If so you should also check their track record in those states. All builders must have insurance and bonds so be sure to search for the requirements that were set by theState Contractors Board. Ask the contractor to provide you with proof that he is bonded and insured. In case there has been an incident or claim this does not immediately mean that the contractor is bad. However you have to check the nature of the claim and determine if you can move forward. Trade and supplier references also provide an excellent method to research about your custom home builders standing. Get in touch with key subcontractors and suppliers and inquire about the builders payment history. You should also ask them how it is to work with the custom home builder. You also need to make sure that your custom home builder is financially solvent and have a good credit rating because your lender will most likely require the financial information of your contractor before he gets approved as your builder. You also need an attorney who is well versed in contracts and construction law. Have him review the agreement that was proposed by the builder and have him edit the contract if necessary so as to protect your investment and meet your requirements. You must understand all the sections of your contract and be comfortable with the terms. You should also have a private inspector to verify that the materials and labor being billed every month have been achieved and on site especially if you are building yourcustom homefrom cash or without a traditionalconstruction loan.
