5 Steps to Follow in the Custom Home Building Process
There are some pragmatic processes you can pursue when building a custom home. Here are a few of them.
- Establish a Budget
It is important to figure out how much you are willing to spend on your building project. Consider your financial threshold if you are thinking about creating a rental suite in your basement or building a garden suite in your laneway. These rental incomes can be used towards your mortgage payments. Then, be sure to communicate that threshold to your builder. Our team is committed to working within your budget to help fulfill your vision!
- Put Your Dreams on Paper
Designing a custom home from scratch should not be a stressful experience. You are developing a space you and your family will enjoy for many years. You want to feel heard and respected when working with a home designer for your custom project. You will work with your designer on large parts of the design, such as the layout. But you will also be finalizing minute details like bathroom fixtures and the types of lightbulbs. You want to be sure that you partner with a team of expert designers that will work with you along the entire design process with respect and patience.
- Rally Your Construction Team
A good home builder will consider you part of their family. So, take a step back if your builder does not seem engaged in building your home.
Great builders have a consistent team of experts in framing, plumbing, electrical, and finishing, who all adhere to the same expected level of excellence. Make sure your whole team is following the same blueprints.
Your vision will begin to turn into reality during the construction phase. Your trusted custom home builder will turn your approved blueprints into reality. Timber Haus works with a trusted network of tradespeople and suppliers to ensure the highest level of workmanship and high-quality materials for your project!
4. Open & Continual Communication During Construction
t is essential to feel that you can have an open dialogue with your builder during a new build. You should always feel comfortable reaching out to your builder with questions and expect a quick response.
With a ground-up building project, there can be a few surprises. You start from scratch, so a good builder will know how to work within current civic codes and limitations. Whether a new build or a renovation, the Timber Haus team will stay in continual contact with you to ensure you understand where we are at with your build at all times!
5. Handover the Keys and Enjoy the house!
When all is said and done, and the workmen have left for good, it is time to get your keys and enjoy your new home! You worked hard to plan it, endured its construction, and spent hard-earned money on it. It is now your unique place in the world. Put up your feet and revel in what you have accomplished!
