    Creating and building the home of your dreams may initially seem like a daunting task. However, it can be done with a minimum amount of stress if you take the time to do some planning. Here are seven crucial steps to this process.

    First, set your goals and second, establish the budget to help your builder and architect guide you through the process. Include a contingency fund to deal with any unforeseen complications. This will reduce the “aggravation factor” immensely.

    Third, find the ideal building site or let your builder help you in finding the site.  We at Country Club Homes often know of properties that are not publicly listed.  Fourth, assemble your team of professionals who can help you with your project. This would include your builder, architect, interior designer and landscape designer.  In some cases, the builder is a design-build firm such as Country Club Homes which can handle many, if not all, aspects of the process.  Don’t skip these steps, and pick the site without adequate guidance, or you may run into problems.

    Fifth, plan as much as possible ahead of time.  Change orders are as frustrating for the builder as they are for the homeowner, as well as they can add a great deal of expense. Sixth, understand that there will be unknowns. That’s why you included a contingency fund. Finally, sit back and enjoy your new custom home. You deserve it.
