Guide to Planning and Building a Home on a Budget (ePub)

Building a new home is a significant investment. There are a lot of risks and rewards, and the process can take a huge financial, time and emotional burden on your family. There are many decisions to make, many processes and hurdles to pass, and yet there aren't a whole lot of resources out there to help you navigate through.

The people you will meet through the process have specific roles to get you from one stage to another ie colour specialists, site supervisors etc. Project home companies (otherwise known as volume home, or kit home builders) don't necessarily give you access to someone with an overview of the process, or who really understands the needs of your family, or the particularities of your site, or the real estate resale opportunities and constraints of your area.

This ebook is a resource for project home buyers and is a culmination of observations, tips and guides to help you step by step through all the processes and issues involved. It will help you to setup a budget for the project, and give you information about things to allow for, that project home companies don't necessarily advise. You'll be able to plan for your project and work out whether it is something you want to embark on now or well into the future. The aim is that with the help of the information in this ebook, you'll be able to take charge of the process in achieving your goal of a new home, and know the right issues to raise with your builders, suppliers and regulatory authorities.
