First Steps: What to Do Before You Break Ground
Building your dream home has its rewards, but keeping track of all the details can be daunting. Just as you wouldn’t try to build a house without blueprints, you shouldn’t rush into a building project without first laying the groundwork. A good set of blueprints describes what you want and how you will get there. Taking the time to plan what you want in your new home and how you will achieve it can save you a case of builder’s remorse a few years down the road.

This ebook is a blueprint you can follow as you set your project in motion. Inside are tips and worksheets designed to help you find the right home for your needs (and your budget), deal with contractors and lenders, select a lot for your home and learn about the other details you will need to navigate through the building process without losing track of your goal.
