Most of us have one chance in life to build our dream home.  There are always ups and downs in the design and construction process, but with new homes in Austin, TX, it becomes possible to build with far less stress.  The first step is to make sure all your finances are in order and that your down payment and mortgage amount will cover building needs, taxes, land costs, and the use of an expert architect to help you have everything you want in your finished home.  It is a wise decision to put some money aside for any problems that may arise later on, such as more materials needed or problems with sizing.  Keep in mind all your needs when locating a piece of land to build on.  When the building construction starts, it can look complicated, so if you have any questions, don’t be afraid to ask.  If you notice something that is being added that wasn’t in the original plan, stop the construction to find out why and how much extra this is going to cost you.  Sometimes there are reasonable explanations which your emergency fund will cover, but if it is something that is not required and you do not want it added, state this and move on with the job.  Keep all the documents of the entire build, including all material guarantees and warranties; pictures are good to have in case you need visual proof of any problems.  You are in control of the entire build, so keep on your toes to ensure it all goes smoothly.

Moving into your new dream home:

Keep checklists to make sure everything is done to the highest possible standards. When nearing the completion date of the construction, start calling the relevant people to get water, electric, internet, and other connections.  Make sure you check all the work that has been completed inside your new home, and if there is a fault, you can call your builders back to fix the problem.  Builders of new homes in Austin, TX will give you some time to move in and locate any problems that may arise. Your first in-depth quality check is important so that any problems with the build can be identified and fixed right away.  Last but not least, don’t forget to let everyone know of your new address such as your employer, children’s school, and the post office to forward your mail.
