Are you REALLY ready to design your custom home?

There are several things to consider before you dive into a custom design and/or construction project. Once you have these questions answered you're in a good place to begin the first phase of design.

• Have you assessed site prep costs for your particular lot?

• Is your lender relationship established?

• Do you have a pre-approval in place?

• What is your construction budget?

• How will landscaping and hardscaping affect your budget?

• What is your contingency fund? 

• Are you and your partner aligned on the style and scope of the build?

• Do you have realistic expectations regarding cost to build in your area?

• Have you considered how your long term plans factor into your home's design?

• Are you clear on the non-negotiables for the home's interior and exterior?
