Building a bespoke, dreamy nook that you and yours can call “home” can be about as exciting — and nervy — as that day you finally summoned the courage to venture to the very top of the tallest rollercoaster and build you custom dream home. You’re in for the ride of your life… Hang on tight!
Step 1: Planning Your Dream Custom Home… or Is It Disneyland?
Before hopping onto this wild ride, decide on your spend limit. Choose a magical location for your castle, decide on its style and size. Now is the time to dream big!
Step 2: Assemble Your Theme Park Crew
No, these aren’t the adrenaline junkies lining up with you, but they’re just as important. Meet your custom home builder, architect, and interior designer. This trio is going to rock your world, creating the dreamiest abode you ever imagined.
Step 3: Your Imaginary Castle Comes Alive — Sort Of
Your custom home builder and architect assess your chosen site and start sketching your vision. This stage is a colorful whirl of floor plans, swatches, and mood boards.
Step 4: The Blueprint of Your Funhouse
Builder and architect huddle to prepare the definitive project specifications. These blueprints serve as the league-standard playbooks for your dream team.
Step 5: Ticket to the Ride & the Green Signal
Start talking to banks or brokers who can offer the best deal to make your dream custom home come true. Simultaneously, your builder will be hustling to get all the necessary green signal – the permits.
Step 6: The Actual Rollercoaster Begins
The actual construction gets underway. An empty plot gets a brand-new identity with site prepping, framing, interior and exterior finishes, landscaping, and all the fun that goes into building.
Step 7: Nearing the End of the Rollercoaster
As the ride slows down towards the finish line, you do a walkthrough with your builder. Spot any bumps you didn’t enjoy? They’ll iron those out before you disembark.
Step 8: Happily Ever After! Move-In
Once everything’s perfect, it’s time — you’re finally home!
Remember, this whole journey isn’t a quick short ride. Put on your patience cap, and brace for unexpected twists and turns. Eventful, exciting, and worth every minute—that’s your custom home creation story. Happy building!
