A Brief Guide to Custom Home Construction

Building a custom home is a monumental task, but it is possible, especially if you are working with the right people. In most cases, you will have to work with multiple companies like siding and roofing contractors, but you also have the option of finding a home builder that offers all of those (or works with subcontractors). Regardless of your option, it’s possible to break down the entire project into separate phases.

First Phase – Planning

The start of the project involves a ton of planning. This is the point where you figure out what you want in the home in terms of size, room layouts and other specific features. You also have to find a spot to build your home if you don’t have one yet. Last but not least, this phase also involves searching for financing options for your home.

Second Phase – Construction

Once the finishes are selected, and the financing is secured, work on your custom-build home can begin. This is also the longest phase of the entire process because it involves everything from site prep and excavation all the way to installing the final finishes on your custom home. Any roofer or homebuilder will tell you that construction can take anywhere between six to eight months, especially for larger builds.

Third Phase – Closing

Once construction is finished, all that’s left to do is to close the project. This is the part where settlement for the remaining expenses is finalized, and the inspections from the foundation all the way to the roofing are carried out to ensure that the home was built properly. After that, congratulations! You now have a custom-built home.

Working With Certified Experts

Because of the scope of such a big project, you shouldn’t spare any expense when it comes to the people you hire for the job. If you want the best results, you need to make sure every roofing, siding and even interior design specialist is certified. Working with local contractors is also preferred because they are more familiar with things like local climate and building codes.
