Your custom home builder will work with you at every step of the process while creating your dream home. The process begins with identifying the right lot for your new home construction. In many cases, reputed custom home builders are able to negotiate discounts on purchase of your plot. Once you have purchased your plot, it's time to design a plan for construction. Your home builder will have an existing stock of floor plans, and he can customize one of these for you. This customizing is done using state of the art construction software that shows you a three dimensional, full color image of your proposed home. You can also choose to have a customized home plan created for you from scratch.
Now, it's time to specify the features of your home. This part of the process involves a significant investment in planning, and is critical to the success of your project. Once you know the specifications of the house, you can establish your budget. Keep in mind that most people tend to under budget for their dream home. Make sure that you discuss your budget openly and freely with your house builder. If you have chosen a reliable builder, he should be able to tell you the exact costing of various materials and supplies, as well as make recommendations about features that can inflate your budget unnecessarily.
Before construction begins, make sure that you have everything down in writing with your home builder, including the materials to be used, specifications of the project, the estimated start and completion date of your new home construction, cost of the project with a detailed break down, and the payment schedule. Your custom home builder will prefer either a fixed fee payment schedule which allows you to pay for construction cost with the builder's fee added to the overall cost, or an all inclusive fee which includes a single set price for the entire cost of construction including the builder's fee.
