It's always been a dream of mine to build my own home and it seems like I share this dream with millions of people, all over the world. If you're interested in building your own home, pay close attention to what I'm about to say.
Easy and effortless home building and home construction starts with a good plan and that's where were going to start today. You can look through home planning and design books, until you find a floor plan and elevation that you like and that's usually a great place to start.
I also recommend that you spend the few hours driving around your area, checking out all of the homes that are built around you. Bring your camera and start taking pictures. Load your favorite pictures onto the computer and save them for further evaluation. A picture is worth a thousand words and if you've got them, start selecting your favorites and now you have something to start working with.
As you're driving to work, to your local grocery store or even if you go on a long trip, you could also notice a few homes that catch your eye and this is another great opportunity to add more pictures to your home designed catalog or portfolio.
If you don't take any pictures, you will have to spend a lot of time, explaining to the architect or home designer, exactly what you want. However, a few photographs of different homes, could save you a lot of time, explaining exactly what you want or at least providing a general idea of what it is that you would like your house to look like.
One of the most important things to remember, when planning or designing a new home, is that some people get tired of looking for the exact home that they would like to have built. If this happens to you, simply take a few weeks off, to relax your mind and then start looking again, when you feel like you're ready to.
