Excited about building your new home?

Many to be custom homeowners are so happy at the prospect of building their new homes they forget crucial steps.

Avoid These Common Pitfalls When Building Your New Home

1. Choosing Unpopular Housing

Multifamily starts decreased by more than 24.1 percent in January 2013. That means fewer people are building and living in multifamily homes. That is something to keep in mind before starting construction on a duplex.

2. Low Value Land

North Shore Builder and other custom house builders recommend that homeowner choose land strategically. Building near tennis courts, pools, or golf courses raises the value of your new land and new home.

3. Building on Unprepared Land

Select some high quality, high value land? Your work is not done yet. Builders like North Shore Builders recommend grading your land or hiring waste management agencies to make sure sewage and waste will drain away from your new home.

4. Rash Decisions

New homes designs and new homes plans cost money. Do not throw it all away by leaping into building your new home without doing the research first. Building contracts will cost you even more money so, before signing them, know what they entail and your rights as a custom home builder.

5. Not Knowing What to Do Next

You cannot just build the frame or exterior of your new home and call it a day. After building the new shell of your home, you will need windows, doors, siding, and roofing. Oh yeah, and make sure not to install plumbing and wiring, too. That means you have a lot more people to call and more professionals to hire. This is a great source for more.
