Getting Started on Your Custom Home Plans

Having your new home built is one of the most exciting journeys you’ll ever embark on. You’re the one in charge of choosing exactly what you want, what features to include and the overall aesthetic of the space. Of course, your dream home requires a lot of planning, and at J Bryant Boyd, we can help you with that.

With decades of build-on-your-lot services, we know how to help homeowners come up with a solid plan.

Find the Right Place

This should be obvious, but first, figure out exactly where you want your home to be. The best location is up to you but we recommend scouting all potential choices. Make sure they are convenient areas, like those close to your workplace. Make sure the lot has all the space you and your family will need.

Make a Budget

Once you lock down where you want to be, prep your budget. Be sure to set aside some contingency funds to cover unforsaken costs or mid-project change orders.

Choose a Timeframe

Many custom home builders ask for a proper schedule for the project. This includes potential estimated time of completion and the number of working days within a week. Choose a convenient time frame, one in which you can be present as often as possible.

Consider Your Lifestyle

The best projects consider how you want to live, not just how you currently live. Consider your lifestyle since it can determine your rooms and home size. For example, a work-at-home person will want an office space. Meanwhile, those on a strict 9-5 schedule may want a luxurious bedroom.

Think of Energy Efficiency

As a design build firm we can incorporate energy-saving components into the plans for your home. From better roofing materials to air conditioning, these can improve your home’s energy efficiency and keep your energy bills low.

Once you have all the parameters figured out, it’s time to get started. Be sure to find a professional, one with years of experience and access to high-quality equipment. With their help, your dream home will become a reality.
