When to Construct Your Home in Stages

Building a custom house requires careful planning. There are a variety of different ways to build a house and one of the most popular methods is phased construction. Phased construction is a process by which you strategically plan and schedule components of a project. Initially, a smaller project is constructed with plans for future additions as budgeting allows.

There are several advantages to phased construction:

  • Flexibility: You have the opportunity to make changes for future phases depending on the current work and potential budget changes.
  • Project Duration: Shorter phases of work reduce the duration of the project and create an abbreviated construction schedule.
  • Cost: Phased construction allows you to spread the project cost out over several phases and eases the initial investment.

However, there are some disadvantages, such as:

  • Complexity: Phased construction projects are inherently more complex because they require a systemic approach and additional plans.
  • Living Among the Construction: Many homeowners choose phased construction because they can live in a portion of the house not under construction. But, this can be noisy and  a bit stressful.
