Make certain the type, size, and quality of the house you want to build is compatible with the other homes in the neighborhood.

Third --Talk to a local savings and loan association or bank Show them your plans and talk to them about prices. They are financial experts in the building business and can save you money and grief. Fourth, and most important --Take your plans to at least two or three general contractors and have them make qualified bids to build your home. Because of their business experience arftl their use of only qualified Union tradesmen, you are assured of the best home for the lowest possible price.
