Building a House in Sketchup

It is perfectly fine, and even suggested, to interview a potential custom homebuilder to determine if your ideas match up with their skills and prices. It can be devastating to jump into a relationship with a homebuilder only to find that his level of quality is less than you would expect or that he has a history of unhappy customers. When you are dealing with a project like your dream home, you want to feel confident in the homebuilder’s ability to complete the project and construct a home that has the features you desire with the quality and value you expect. This is one time when surprises are unwelcome.

Home Building Must Deal With Many Factors

What’ s a realistic time frame for building a home? Well, it surely depends on many things. For instance, are you a DIY Owner Builder doing most of the work yourself? Are you planning to use a General Contractor to build the home for you? Perhaps you plan to manage the entire process and hire out the labor. Or, maybe you’ll use a kit or packaged home …

· What is your process for custom home construction? You will want to understand how the builder does things as well as get a time-frame for the type of home construction you are seeking.

House Construction Variables You Can’t Always Control

Let’s look at some variables that you’ll have little, if any, control over if and when they happen:

·         Weather delays

·         Manufacturing and delivery issues

·         Workers getting sick or injured or called to other emergencies

·         Returns of defective products

·         Necessary changes to the design

·         Inspections that failed and other “do-overs”

The bottom line is that surprises happen and people make mistakes. Everyone who builds must take this into account and plan accordingly.

Realistic Expectations Make for a Better Experience

What is a more realistic time frame? If we look at a fairly average size custom home of about 2000-2500 s.f., for an owner builder managing his or her own project, 9 to 12 months is far more realistic.

So, set your sites, your budget, and your financing for longer and you’ll reduce the stress and frustration caused by missed deadlines. This will make your home-building adventure more enjoyable!
