Your budget is the biggest factor of your home build. This will affect the size and location of your build. You have to remember that you are buying the land and then also buying the building, labor, and materials. This video has a few tips about where you should splurge and where you should save on your new home build. Spoiler alert, your contractor is something to save on.

You also want to discuss the length of the project. Your contractor can give you a rough estimate of the total time it will take for the property to be livable. It will probably vary depending on the time it takes to acquire materials and schedule workers for the house. It can also depend on how bad the weather is where you are.

Be open and comfortable with your contractor. That will make for the smoothest experience with your home build.
