Find Your Property
by GavinJ.King
Find Your Property
The hardest part about building your home may be choosing your building lot. Things like location, price, applicable taxes, zoning and density laws and building permits may be just a few of the issues you will be dealing with in getting your buildsite approved for construction.
Funding
The traditional way to pay for the construction of your home is through a construction loan with a bank or credit union. You can have any number of modifications installed, or eliminated from the plan, to change the price your home will cost you. Using a drafter to render your home drawings is a great idea to get the scale of the size in your mind. So before going to your lender, you should see an architect or drafter.
Find An Architect
Each one of your subcontractors will be using drawings designed by your architect to coordinate their part of the construction, so make sure they can by hiring one. Hiring the wrong architect can cause you several severe problems, so don't do it hastily. The next step is to present these plans to your source of financing for their review and approval.
Don't Be Too Rigid
Building a custom home is no simple task. The building of your home is often dependent on issues that are outside of your control, such as weather conditions or availability of products needed. It will take you a long time to complete the project so don't be impatient or pushy with your subs.
I didn't say it would be easy, but I do think it is a rewarding task so hang in there. Making sure to keep the ball rolling until you are finished will help you stay focused on completing the project in a timely fashion. Not reaching your goal to complete your home construction will potentially cost you everything you have, so failure is not an option.
Understand that this is a simple outline. Plan on using all of your time, in one way or another, to teach yourself as much as you can about construction in general, and you will be far ahead of your competition.
