The Building Schedule Coordinating the building schedule with your builder at the outset is another very important aspect in the building process. Your builder will outline a construction schedule for your home, and you need to be aware of your responsibilities in this schedule. For example there are many selections that you will need to make for your home such as flooring, plumbing, tile, cabinetry and doors, hardware, appliances and electrical fixtures. These items must be selected and ordered with enough time to spare so that the building schedule is not delayed. Choosing a Building Site To obtain land on which to build your home, you can purchase it from your builder or buy land on your own.
Many builders have land sites that they are trying to develop.
As an early buyer, you may be able to get more home for your money since the builder may add a few extras as an incentive to build. Keep in mind that you may have to assume some risk when moving into a new development. The risk will involve not knowing the pending price ranges for your development or the future home styles and sizes. It may be hard to discern when the area will be completely developed, and as a result it's possible you could end up living with mud and construction off and on for several years. Another means of purchasing land is to search the real estate section of your newspaper for land that's for sale, land up for auction or land foreclosures.
