Having a new home custom-designed and built on the lot of your choosing presents some obstacles that need to be overcome in order for the result to be successful. Custom home building is, in fact, differs greatly from large quantity builds in planned communities. As a result, knowing what you're in for will help make the process go much smoother for all involved.
Here, Southland's Georgia on-your-lot builder shares some insight on the most common home building obstacles you'll be likely to face.
Building a custom home often begins with finding and purchasing the perfect lot. However taking out two mortgages for land and construction can be cumbersome. An easier way to handle the lot -to- permanent home loan process is to use a construction loan. A construction loan will help consolidate expenses and is typically an interest-only loan. In construction loans, money is taken only as needed, which reduces interest cost, and often times a 'lock-in' period is provided so that a homeowner can take advantage of low interest rates prior to closing.
When you're having a home custom-designed for you, you should expect to be overwhelmed at the sheer number of options and finishes. With so many different variables to choose from, indecision can be a major obstacle in getting the design finalized and the home built.
To combat this problem, it pays to have an idea of exactly what your family needs in terms of the home's floor plan. You should have a list of needs and wants on hand when meeting with the architect. As long as your needs are met, you can add as many wants as you wish, as long as the project stays on budget, of course.
Not all home builders will line up subcontractors for the utility installations. Often, this task falls upon the homebuyer and finding reputable subcontractors, comparing offers, and managing the scheduling can be arduous work.
In order to avoid this problem, you should ensure that your Georgia on-your-lot builder handles this process for you. By choosing a builder with subcontractor relationships, you are more likely to have a smoother build and an on-time finish.
