Having a custom home built for your family is an exciting adventure that more and more people are embarking on. According to the National Association of Home Builders, custom home-building expanded by 10.8% in 2021. There is a lot that goes into having a home built, and to make this process as smooth as possible, you'll want an overview of the home-building process. This quick guide will provide you with some basic information on the process.

The Planning Phase

The planning phase can be one of the most exciting aspects of this process. This is when you can really start to dream about exactly the kind of home you and your family want. The great part about custom home-building services is that you are in charge and you will get to make many of the choices. You will likely do some pre-planning even before you hire a contractor to work with.

Purchasing Land

The purchase of your land or lot will be a crucial part of the early phases of this project. You will need to make sure that the land is suitable for the type of house you want. Some people opt to hire a contractor before purchasing land so that custom home-building services can help them choose the right piece of land as well.

Choosing a Contractor

A lot of thought and time should go into this decision because you will be working with this professional for many months. They will assist you with every aspect and decision of the home-building process. You want to hire a professional that you can trust and someone that you can work with easily.

Drafting Home Plans

If the contractor you are working with doesn't provide ready-made home plans, then you will need to have plans for your new home drafted professionally. Your contractor will have great advice on who to use and how to go about having this done properly.

Obtaining Permits

Obtaining the proper permits will be integral to the start of your project. Many aspects of the project cannot get off the ground until permits are obtained and paid for. Your contractor can also help you with this.

Land Clearing and Building

You will at last be ready to clear your land and start construction. It's important to stay connected with your contractor during this time so that you know the progress of your home along the way and you can offer input when decisions need to be made.
