INSTRUCTIONS FOR THIS SITE
Rear Elevations can be dramatic also
If you are really interested in
building a Custom Home or
remodeling this entire site is for you. If you are looking for
individual items of information than just go around in any manner you choose.
This site has been set up to look at the home page first
and to read through it. The
items on the left are set up in an
orderly process from the top down. This information is to be used to try and
understand the construction business from a builders point of view. There
are many valuable ideas:
EXAMPLE:
First you figure out your Finances.
Than you
need to decide how big a house you desire and call someone like me to get an
estimated square footage price. You will need to decide before hand if
you want an architecturally designed custom built home with packages which
include: excellent windows/special designs/granite counter tops/extra high
basement walls/designer cabinets/ etc. v.s. subdivision
built houses by the mass producing building companies. We estimate a
ranch at $10 to $15 more a sq. ft. than a colonial. Figure a master
bedroom house on the 1st floor around $10 more a sq. ft.
Now you know how much $ you can spend
on a lot.
Find a
reasonably priced architect or designer.
At this point if you are contracting with a builder you would normally do a
contract.
You
plot plan the home to set on your lot.
Apply for permits.
Start building
your new home.
