Planning to build your dream home is an exciting journey that requires careful consideration and planning. Whether you're a first-time homeowner or looking to upgrade, these essential tips will help ensure your project runs smoothly from start to finish.
1. Set a Realistic Budget
Before breaking ground, establish a comprehensive budget that includes a 10-20% contingency fund for unexpected costs. Consider all expenses: land, permits, materials, labor, and finishing touches.
