Step 1: Design or locate a house design you like, either with an architect or through a service providing existing plans.
Step 2: Locate building site or lot you like for the house plan you have.
Step 3: Check out the location and site thoroughly to ensure that you can build without any difficulty.
Step 4: Find an experienced builder (that would be me!).
Step 5: Execute a contract with the builder (that would be me!) to construct the house (after you have agreed upon a price for services).
Step 6: Arrange construction financing with your bank if required.
Step 7: Obtain building permit from the municipality, usually by submitting several copies of the house plan with an application and fee.
Step 8: Have builder (that would be me!) begin construction.
Step 9: Make all your selections (tile, flooring, cabinets and so on) in a timely manner and far enough in advance to allow for items that need to be ordered.
Step 10: Review the house carefully with the builder (that would be me, again!) upon completion, making a list of any items needing repair or further work.
Step 11: Move in after a Certificate of Occupancy has been issued by the building department.
Step 12: Update the repair and completion list (“punch list”) after 30 days in the house, removing work completed and adding new problems you’ve discovered.
