Congratulations! You’ve made the decision to build your own home! Now what? Building a new home is a huge undertaking; there’s a lot to think about, plan, decide on, and execute. But when you work with a reliable, trusted custom home builder, they can make the process a lot more fun and less stressful for you.

At Luxury Home Solutions, we take pride in building relationships with our clients while building and designing the luxury, custom homes full of quality craftsmanship, detail, and impressive value.  Like stated before, there’s a lot to think about and remember when designing your own home, so our team wanted to provide you with a list of things to consider when building a new home.

• Think about the purpose of this house. How many people will live here? How many people will visit? Do you entertain a lot?
• Decide if you like open-concept or smaller rooms.
• Try to imagine furniture, cabinet, and appliances placement early in the design/build.
• Plan as much as you can before the build starts, so you won’t be overwhelmed later.
• Early on, research countertops, lighting, tiles, carpeting, colors, appliances, and more, so the design team and you can have everything purchased and installed on time.
• Be extremely specific with your ideas to the builder and design team. You don’t want there to be a miscommunication. The builder and designers can’t read your mind to know it is what you want, you must show them.
• Speak up is something isn’t quite like how you want it early on, so more similar mistakes will not occur and money won’t be wasted.
• Don’t be shy to voice your opinions, needs, and wants. You and the designer may not agree on the look of something, but If it’s something you truly want, you should have it. It’s your money, and it’s the home you will be living in. Sure, there are things designers and builders know more than you about (building codes, measurements, wiring, materials, etc.). On these topics, you should listen to them, but when it comes to making choices on the styles within your home, you should express your mind.
• Think about major things you want installed throughout the home such as security systems, temperature controls, lighting controls, and sound systems.

This list is just a brief look at some of the things you should think about and consider when building a new home. Come back to our blog for even more ideas on things to think about when building a home in a future post!
