If you’re looking into getting yourself a new
place, you typically have two main choices: you can either buy a pre-owned home,
or you can have a house built from scratch. While initially it might seem more
costly to build instead of just buying, there are many long-term benefits that
you can enjoy in a home that you had commissioned, particularly in terms of
customization.
Before you call home builders though, ask yourself
these questions:
Do you have the time?
First of all, having a home built is
time-consuming, and it will need a lot of patience on your part. So if you’re
in a hurry to move out, this might not be the best option for you. Of course,
you could always choose to stash away your stuff in a rental storage unit and
look for a temporary residence if you’re in a fix.
Will you violate building codes?
Since you are free to design your home as much as
you want, keep in mind that you might end up crossing some lines such as your
locality’s building codes. Always consult with a builder to find out what you
can and can’t have, and it would never hurt to read the building permit
thoroughly, either.
