Building Your Dream Home

Building a new home is an exciting opportunity, one that enables you to build the home of your dreams and customize all parts of it to meet your needs. To someone who has never been through this experience, however, it can be overwhelming. It is our goal to guide you through the process, from plan choice to selecting fixtures, so that you have all the information you need to build the home of your dreams.

Obviously, the first step you will take will be choosing your home plan. With over 4,000 top selling house plans to choose from at www.thehousedesigners.com, you'll be sure to find the perfect plan to suit your needs and desires!

Keeping an open mind is important when beginning your plan search. Often, you will come across plans that meet most of your needs, but perhaps not all. For example, you may find a floor plan that satisfies your desires, but the exterior finish is not your first choice. Not to worry; adjusting exteriors is usually a minor change, and can be done relatively easily. Other simple modifications can be changed directly on your plans by your builder. However, if you have more complex changes you'd like to make, we recommend you have an architect or designer sit down with you to discuss the best approach to take.

Once you have selected a plan, you are ready to break ground and begin construction! The building process typically takes six to nine months to complete. That timeline may change, however, due to permitting, contractor availability, and unforeseen delays such as bad weather.

	Make sure that when you purchase a stock house plan that you buy from a reputable company and that your plan includes everything you need to build your dream home, including elevations, floor plans, structural details, material lists, drawings and prints. Pay close attention to all the details that go into the design, including the exterior details, interior floor plan and any special building codes your locality requires. Remember, if you don't see a design that perfectly meets your needs, ask about modifications. Many companies offer free modification quotes and will provide the services directly.
