So, you’ve decided to build the home you’ve always wanted. It’s a great feeling to be in charge of your home’s location and amenities. Here’s a short list of things to keep in mind as you’re planning your future home.
- Establish Goals: This part of the planning process is key. You’ll need to have clear expectations and set your mind on things before the building starts. This includes any information you’ll need to share with your builders on the wants and needs of your home.
- Set Your Budget: This is absolutely included in your goal but building a home has more costs associated than buying a home. Some things to remember include the cost of the land, local fees and taxes, building fees, not just the home but the landscape and interior features like furniture and decorating. You’ll also want to have extra money set aside in your budget for anything that may come up or exceed the budget set. Working with P&D Builders will help you streamline costs as we provide a design team at no additional charge.
- Find Land: Location is everything when building a home. When you make a large investment, you’re probably planning on staying there a while. Since you’ll need the land before building, it’s important to secure this or have help securing your land.
- Builders: This is where P&D comes in. We have custom designs that allow us to quickly, efficiently & cost effectively design unique, exciting plans tailored to each client. By having us build your home, you’re releasing most of the difficult parts of planning, designing and building to trained professionals.
- Don’t Stray from the Plan: While it’s important to accept things you cannot control or roll with the punches, there is a need for balance. You’ve put plenty of thought into what you want your home to be, discussed it with experts, let them do their job. Don’t get distracted by new ideas or changes that could end up costing you time and money in the long run.
- Home Sweet Home: Once we complete your build, we make sure your home is completely ready to move into. After that, all that’s left to do is enjoy your new home.
