Where do I begin the home building process?
Lot selection, basic budget, financing and conceptual design are inter-related starting points. It is very important to make your final lot selection with a clear understanding of construction cost impacts and design restrictions. Otherwise, you may need to compromise your design or exchange lots to accommodate a specific design approach in the future. If you have already purchased a homesite, then start with a design professional who can relate well to your needs and desires. Make sure they also have a reliable feel for costs associated with their creativity. Finally select a builder early in the process and make sure he is available to support the design professional in the preliminary stages of design.
