Finding a plot of vacant land for sale can be the first step to living in the home of your dreams. Building your own house gives you endless flexibility, allowing you to shape the home around your needs, rather than the other way around. However, the process can be lengthy, with several steps that need to be completed before construction can begin.

Finding Land for Sale

If you're planning to build your own custom home, you probably have a good idea of the kind of environment in which you want to live. A good real estate agent can help you find the ideal piece of land for sale, whether you're planning on living in the country or looking for a lot in the city.

Deciding Your Priorities

Designing a home from scratch can be difficult, requiring you to make a variety of practical decisions. How many bedrooms will you need? What's the most important room in your house? Before you even meet with an architect, thinking about the lifestyle you lead and how you will likely use the home will help determine your priorities.

Meeting With an Architect

An experienced architect will take your ideas and vision and bring them to life. During the planning process, your architect will balance your budget and ambitions, and help you take into account other factors you might not have considered, like how to best use the land. Many architects will also recommend an engineering firm or recommend a builder who will take care of the permitting and zoning issues for you.
