Santa Rosa Beach Home Builder

Have you decided that you would like to build your dream home? For a lot of people, this is the dream. After all, what could be better than having a property created entirely for you? It will be built to your specifications, catering to all of your needs and wants. While the outcome is incredible, the journey can be fun and exciting and there is no denying that building your own property will be a challenge. It is certainly well worth it, though, and here are some tips to help you out.

Choose designers that have a good reputation and match your taste and style

There is no denying that one of the most important decisions you need to make is the architects, designers, and builders you are going to be working with. Needless to say, you need a company that has extensive experience in producing custom home plans. Not only this, but you need to look at the work that they have done so far. This will give you a good indication as to whether your style is aligned with theirs. You need to make sure that you are on the same page. 

At Graben Homes you get all the above: architects, a builder, Nathan Graben, and a designer, Heidi  Graben who will work closely with you every step of the way.

Create a detailed financial plan

This part of the process can take some time but it is so important. At Graben Homes, you will be given a “stipulated sum” which means that you will know ahead of time the cost of building your new home before construction begins. The alternative is “cost plus” which is just an educated guess. Most people prefer the stipulated sum” method as it benefits the homeowner to know the budget and costs ahead of time and to enable you to decide if the house plan will work for you financially or if changes need to be made to adjust the house plans. Who wants a guess? Get the actual numbers so you can feel confident in your building team to design and build your new home so you can enjoy the process along the way.

Think about your long-term plans

It is highly unlikely that you are building your dream property just so that you can sell it in a couple of years’ time. This is why you need to carefully think about what could be in the future for you and your family. Are babies on the horizon?  Perhaps you have children and they will be fleeing the nest in a few years? You need to plan for the future for self-build success.  

Hopefully, you now feel more prepared for building your own property. However, if you follow the advice that has been supplied, you can make sure that everything goes as smoothly as possible in your quest to build your dream house.
