~Building and Construction of My First House~

The American dream is installed in just about every person in America,building your own home. Something that you can call your own, in America we are lucky we can live this dream. The problem arises when we finally get to that point in our life when we think we are ready to build. Then all of a sudden things come to a complete halt, that`s right we don`t know what to do. A hundred questions run through our head, where will we build? Who will we get to build? What type of house and how big? These are just a few of the questions we ask ourselves. The American dream is not suppose to be this complicated, people have been building for thousands of years. Why is it so difficult for me?

The thing that people fail to realize is every house is a unique building, just like the home owner. Each house, even if they look just like the house next door, is unique in it`s own right and each home owner is unique in there own way. Two people can stand side by side and look identical, however that is only on the outside, the same applies to your home, each is different although they appear the same. This is one of the most important things to remember about having your house built. Once you understand that this is your unique house and you can have it built anyway you want, you are on your way to succeeding. Now reality facing that thirty year mortgage sets in, while dreaming of everything you want in your new home, you have got to face that monthly mortgage, what to do?Planning is the one thing that will keep you from over pricing your pocket book. The first thing 95% of all new home builders do is spend time driving around to all the newly constructed homes in their area. This is good for ideas, however books and magazines are more profitable, you can mix and match until you find all the different looks you would like to have.
