  • I want to build a new home. What are the next steps?

    When considering building a new home, there are several key factors to address. First, determine your budget. Next, select a suitable lot for your home. Then, decide on a house layout that meets your needs. Finally, choose a reputable contractor. A professional home builder can assist you with each of these steps, including lot selection, home design, and assembling a team of architects or excavators if needed. They can also guide you through the process of obtaining building permits and finalizing your project plan. Contacting a home builder is an excellent starting point for your new home construction journey.
  • How long does it take to build a new home?

    The timeline for constructing a new home can vary significantly, typically ranging from 6 months to 2 years. This duration is influenced by factors such as the size of the project, the number of parties involved, and the time required for planning and obtaining necessary permits. For custom homes, it's advisable to anticipate a two-year process - allocating one year for planning and another for construction. This conservative estimate helps ensure the project isn't rushed and allows for unforeseen circumstances.
  • Should I build a new home or renovate my current home?

    The decision between building a new home or renovating your current one depends on your specific needs, desires, and financial resources. In some cases, a kitchen remodel and a home addition may be sufficient to transform your existing house into your ideal living space. However, if you have more extensive requirements and a larger budget, building a new home from the ground up might be more appropriate. It's advisable to consult with a contractor to determine if new construction aligns with your budget. If your current home is significantly aged or in poor condition, renovation may not be the most cost-effective option.

  • Should I buy land before or after I speak with my home builder?

    We strongly advise consulting with a home builder prior to purchasing land. This approach ensures that the property you're considering is suitable for development. However, if you've already acquired land, there's no need for concern. A builder can still provide valuable assistance in developing the property to meet your needs.
