(Newswire.net — January 10, 2018) Huntington Beach, CA — Designing and building the perfect home is something many people dream about. Turning it into a reality is extremely difficult, but it can definitely be achieved with the right planning. Jason M. Powell, a nationally-recognized businessman in the real estate industry, has provided some very useful tips for those who are planning to build their home from the ground up, whether it is for retirement or raising their family.
Building a home from scratch involves various processes, and can take at least a year to complete. According to Jason, hiring an architect before buying the land would be the smart choice. This is because there are many factors that should be considered when choosing the right land, and an architect is better suited to assessing these things. As a professional, an architect can assess how suitable the land is for building a home, how it can be reached by road, and what utilities are available. County and city rules also determine what type of house can be built on the property. All these things can be examined by an architect, especially someone with plenty of experience.
After buying the land, the next focus should be the design of the house. Anyone who wants to build their dream home should work closely with the architect so everything goes smoothly. The property owner should show the architect the types of rooms they like and dislike, and provide them with the basic details of the house, such as the floor plan and number of rooms. Jason also adds that it is important to share the budget with the architect so the architect can determine which features they can afford. Once the design is finished, the architect can then draw up blueprints which can be used to get bids from multiple builders.
Choosing a builder can be tricky, and Jason suggests that property owners ask their family and friends for recommendations, as well as their architect and real estate professionals they have worked with. It would be wise to talk to previous clients of potential builders and visit their homes.
As for the contract, property owners must get a real estimate and must verify it at least three times to make sure every detail is covered. The contract should be clear about what is and is not covered by the cost, and must incorporate a schedule of progress payments, among other things.
To make sure everything is going smoothly, Jason says that property owners should visit the site frequently. This way, they can assess the progress and sort out any issues if there are any.
