Your new home will be an exciting part of your new life. Unfortunately, building it isn’t always the easiest nor the most enjoyable part of the process. Moving in will be great, though, so you should keep thinking about that. You should also keep thinking about some of the most important aspects that you should bear in mind concerning the building process.
- You should “know your numbers”: In other words you need to calculate all the figures related to the estimated cost of building a new home. Such numbers may include the cost of down payment, tax benefits and construction cost, etc. Having an estimate of this will help you to determine whether or not you will be able to afford it, among other things.
- You should “check the reputation of your builder”: Do this by asking around, looking for reviews online checking out other buildings they’ve constructed and more. You should also try to hire builders that are members of NAHB (National Association of Home Builders), because they are a trusted organization.
- You should” build with resale in mind”: This will help to keep you focused and intent on having your home built to the best standard that your money can afford. Don’t forget that you probably won’t live in that house forever. Even if you do live there until you die, you don’t want your loved ones to have a hard time selling the property. Make sure that the features you install in your home are attractive to others.
- You should “[not] forget the punch”: In other words, you need to create a list (called a ‘punch list’) at the end of the construction of the house needs to indicate the things that still need completion or attention. That way, you won’t forget about those stuff and you will be much more likely to get them completed.
