While home improvements are an excellent way to update one or two rooms, the best way to achieve the ultimate dream home is to choose a custom build. At Bryan Bell Construction, one of the most common questions that our Mountain Home, AR, clients ask our custom builders is about the steps involved. Below, we've outlined the process in more detail so that you know what to expect.

3 Steps to Building Your Custom Home

1. Choose Your Location

The first step is deciding on the location of the build. You can build your home anywhere, from a subdivision to a multi-acre farm, but it's important to remember that areas within a homeowner's association or inside city-limits are typically associated with certain types of building restrictions. It's also important that you choose where your home is going to be built before you begin the design process so that your custom builder can plan for the layout of the land such as hills and wooded areas.

2. Design Your Home

You can choose to either start from the bottom up or begin with one of your building contractor's home plans. Each option allows you to customize the structure to meet your needs and tastes, including building materials and color schemes. After the design is complete, your custom builder will be able to provide you with a cost breakdown.

3. Obtain Building Permits

Once you've finalized your home’s design, it's time to obtain the building permits. Nearly every local government requires new homes to meet specific requirements, and unless you live in a rural area, you'll need to apply for the permits and wait for approval. In most cases, your contractor will take care of this aspect for you to ensure that the process goes smoothly. When they receive the permits, the construction can finally begin.

Before you can have your dream home built, you need to find trustworthy custom builders.
