The Brand-New House Book: Everything You Need to Know About Planning, Designing, and Building a Custom, Semi-Custom, or Production-Built House
"You sketch a plan on the back of an envelope, hand it to a builder, and voil…! You get your house." Not so, writes Katherine Salant in The Brand-New House Book: Everything You Need to Know About Planning, Designing, and Building a Custom, Semi-Custom, or Production-Built House, a helpful demystification of these complicated, expensive processes. Nationally syndicated newspaper columnist and architect Salant the book stems from "Your New Home" for Inman News Features, and "Housewatch" for the Washington Post guides readers through financing, lot selection, flooring, contracts and construction. Given that more than one million people buy new single-family homes each year, this book should find a grateful market. Agent, Loretta Fidel.
