Building a custom home is a memorable experience because it allows the homeowner to have complete say-so over how their house is styled, created, and decorated. The custom building process is remarkably exciting, yet may be stressful, when there is uncertainty about where to begin in the process and what steps to take. The team at Alair Homes Lake Norman wants to help you answer the questions you have about building your dream home. The following three steps are aimed at getting you on the right track and getting you feeling confident about the custom home building process.
Know Your Vision
One of the biggest benefits of building custom is crafting a home based on your family’s needs that ultimately improve everyone’s quality of life. Think about your daily routine and identify what works, and what does not work for you in your current home. Our team takes a personal and collaborative approach through the vision process by guiding you through the right questions, creating solutions to help overcome any challenges and to ensure that your dream is aligned with your budget and needs.
Set a Budget
Before you dive deep into the planning process, determine what you can afford. When it comes to building a home versus buying, the financing portion is a bit different. It is essential to have a budget in mind before beginning the process of securing a loan. Consulting with your home builder about features and finishes, will help in understanding the exact cost for your home.
Consider the Location
You have already researched the local schools, churches, hospitals, and amenities to find your dream location. Another thing to consider when deciding on a lot for your custom home is how easy it will be to build on. Will this lot accommodate the home you are envisioning?
Building a custom home allows you to create a unique and one-of-a-kind space for you and your family to make memories in for years to come. It is especially important to be diligent and thoughtful during the custom home planning process. The team at Alair Homes Lake Norman spends time getting to know you, your family’s needs, and your vision. We are committed to aiding you through every step of this complex process.
