While you may have thought about building your own new custom home for many years – and you likely have an idea of how you would like it to look – just how involved should you really be in the actual design process?
The answer to that is, it depends.
Although you may have a picture in your head regarding how you would like the finished product to look, the reality is that not everyone has a knack for design. And, while you may want to be there every step of the way during the building process, there are some cases where it can make sense to work with a professional home designer first.
When you partner with a professional, it doesn’t mean that you won’t have a say at all. In fact, just the opposite. This is because, in order to ensure that the home will be just right, there is a great deal of input that you’ll have.
For example, the designer will need to know a number of key items before moving forward, such as:
- The needs of you and your family
- A list of “must have” items to include in the home
- The style of home that you prefer
- The budget that you have for the home building project
In addition to working with the designer up front, you may also want to be present during various stages of the construction process. That way, if there is any element that may not be quite to your taste, it can be addressed before going too much further.
