You Are Building a Home.

Now What?

Resale Matters

No matter how long you intend to stay in the house you build, it will have to be sold at some point. Avoid building strictly for your own needs. A one or two bedroom house with one bathroom may be perfect for you, but it will be almost impossible to sell.

Build the Right Size Home for the Neighborhood.

Find a Good Builder

When building a house, quality is usually more important than quantity. Finding a Contractor who may take a little while longer than others to build your home because of a focus on quality and understanding your needs may be in your best interest.

Be There!

During construction a lot happens in a short amount of time. This is the most visible during the framing stage. Catching mistakes early saves a lot of extra work later.

Another Delay?!!

Building a house is a complicated project and utilizes dozens of subcontractors, workers and suppliers. Delays can and most likely will happen. This will back up your entire process. A delay in the framing stage stops your home building project: HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, drywall hangers and finishers as well as the finish crew are all not able to do their work until the framing is completed. It is best to forget locking in your move in date. Often it is weeks later.

Know Your Budget

When building a house you are given allowances.

Hardware, Cabinets, flooring (carpeting, vinyl, tile), light fixtures, plumbing fixtures, etc may be included in your personal spending allowances. Make certain that You Can actually get the materials you want within the allowance amount allotted to you. If Your Appliance allowance is 00 and the fixtures you want are 00 you have ,500 that you will need to come up with. If you upgrade on your countertop selection you may run into the same scenario.

Understanding the Home Building Process is very important prior to engaging in your new home building process.
