Building a new home is exciting, complicated and
without a doubt scary, as well. In most cases, building a new home is the
largest expense you will ever experience.
As with buying an existing home, building one is a significant investment
and should not be taken lightly. You and your family will spend a long time in
your home so this should be a careful and considered decision. Building your dream home has many advantages
over buying an existing home, renovating
your current home, or even remodeling
your existing home but there are several considerations to be addressed
when deciding to build a home:
l What are your current living
needs and your future needs?
Ø Consider you and your
spouse’s idea of a perfect home
Ø Discuss these
requirements with all family members for their perspective
Ø What about children
and how they affect the layout and design
Ø What about the concept
of living in place into retirement
Ø What about elderly
family members you may need to care for in the future
l Consider the lot and
the area where you want to live
Ø Does it have great
value now and will it hold or increase the value
Ø Investigate the
surrounding neighborhoods and areas as well
Ø Is the area you desire
prosperous for local businesses
Ø If you prefer the
seclusion of a rural area, will it stay rural
Ø If you prefer the convenience
of the city, is it in decline
l Consider your builder
and do the necessary due diligence on their background, experience, and
recommendations
Ø Your home builder of
choice should be capable of consulting with you to advise on many of the
important considerations
Ø Experienced builders
should be able to advise on all aspects of building a home including:
u The type of house to
build
u The ideal lot
u Knowledge of the surrounding
area
Ø An experienced builder
has addressed concerns with previous clients and has knowledge and experience
to deal with them
The Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection
provides information on the protections provided by law for CT consumers when
you are considering who to choose to build your home. Connecticut state law provides certain
protections to people buying or building new homes, but the best way to protect
your investment when taking on a home construction project is to be extremely
well informed. Visit the Connecticut state
