For many people, the concept of having custom built homes is just like climbing a steep mountain. What they don’t know is that that once they reach the peak, the view is all worth it. But still, they seem to be fixated on the journey to the top.

Just like other big projects, new custom built homes are an array of small operations that come together much like a puzzle. The result is an appealing shelter that gives water, heat, light, as well as sewage disposal in a functional and safe manner. A custom home builder must make sure that all these items are in place if they wish to obtain the occupancy permit.

Planning Custom Built Homes

The home building industry boomed after the World War II, but cookie-cutter type homes were very common in subdivisions. The trim as well as other decorations were different with every house but the standard shell and the layout were the same. Since the materials and workmanship were great, these houses remain in good shape even after five decades.

These days, most people would like to have custom built homes and that’s why custom home builders Myrtle Beach are always working on new and unique home plans. The great thing about purchasing a set of house plans from a reputable home designer is that every aspect in the blueprints were tried and tested. It’s a lot like making use of the cookie cutter method that worked several years before and the different contractors are following something that worked countless times before.

Of course, it’s not completely customized but the costs involved can be calculated easily. Because once the project ends, nobody wants to return to the bank and ask for more cash because of a costing miscalculation. The costs of new custom built homes starts with the lot and ends with the landscaping so there are several aspects along the journey that could affect the total price of the house. An architect could be a watchdog on pricing but a good contractor can do this, too.

When choosing the lot, you need to determine if it’s rural or if it’s under the bylaws of a city. Is it a single plot or an acreage? These are a few of the questions that will determine how many aspects of the house will go together.

You also need to know how you’ll power your home especially if you want to live in the countryside. How far away is the power service? In some areas of the country, power companies ask for a hefty price to bring electricity to a house in a remote area. So, you need to figure this out before purchasing the lot. The direction the lot faces is another important consideration. Where do you want your house to face?
