With the holidays almost upon us again, many people will soon be in the throes of planning various seasonal events. Yet, even with all of the parties, concerts, open houses, and other get togethers 
to attend to, this time of year can still be ideal if you’re planning to build a custom home.
Building a custom home can be an exciting process. But, it can also entail a specific timeline in which each part of the process must be completed. In many cases, the best time to begin the planning and designing phase of your customer home is approximately 6 to 9 months prior to your ideal move-in date.
Carefully planning out the process can entail many different variables. For example, if you have children who are in school, getting your plan in place now can help you to better ensure that you’ll be in your new home prior to the beginning of the next school year.
The planning of a custom built home can encompass a number of important items, such as:
- Finding and securing a lot (if you don’t already have one in place)
- Designing and developing the floor plan
- Choosing the various finishes for cabinets, flooring, and counter tops
- Picking out wall colors for the interior
- The actual building / construction process
- Selling your current residence
- Packing and moving your items
If you’re planning to build a custom home, planning out the process is key. Doing so can help to ensure that everything stays on track. And, starting your planning towards the end of the calendar year may also allow you to lock in the current years prices on various items.
