6 Steps to Build Your New Home
1. Plan
Your Budget
Begin now to think about how
much you can afford to spend and how much building your new home is likely to
cost. Chances are you will need a construction loan and a mortgage. It's not
too early to find out what size loan you qualify for. Also, knowing the approximate
costs will help you modify your building plans to meet your budget. http://www.myhousemap.com/
2.
Choose Your Lot
Whether you are building your
home in a suburban development or a site with sweeping ocean views, you will
almost always need to choose the land before you select floor plans or other
details. You (and any pros you hire) will need to investigate factors such as
soil condition, drainage, zoning and building codes in the region. http://www.myhousemap.com/
3. Line
Up Your Team
Unless you are a homesteader,
you'll need a team of experts to design and construct your house. Key players
will include a builder, an excavator, a surveyor and a home designer or an
architect. Many homeowners begin by selecting the builder or contractor. That
pro then selects other members of the team. However, you may also opt to hire
an architect or designer first. http://www.myhousemap.com/
4. Pick
a Plan
Many new homes are built
using stock plans from a catalog. The builder or a home designer may make minor
modifications in room size, window style or other details. A custom-designed
home, on the other hand, is created specifically for the family which will live
there. In most cases, custom-designed homes require the services of a licensed
architect. Whether you opt for a stock or a custom design, you will be wise to
choose a plan that will meet your needs for many years to come. http://www.myhousemap.com/
5.
Negotiate a Contract
Be sure to get a written
contract which has been signed and dated by both the builder or contractor and
the architect or designer. A contract for new home construction will describe
the project in detail and include a listing of all the parts to be included in
the house. Remember to amend the contract if you or your team make any changes
to the project later on.http://www.myhousemap.com/
