Few events are as exciting as your first new home construction project. In addition to choosing your own lot, floor plan, and finishes, you also have the chance to witness every step of the construction project, enabling your family to build early memories of your brand-new home. Unfortunately, the process can go awry if you don’t plan carefully. Here are three factors you should consider before embarking on a new home construction project.

The Future of Your Family

A home that fits your family perfectly now might not be as spacious if you decide to have a child or adopt a pet, which is why you should carefully consider the future of your family before you start your new home construction. Think about where your kids will be in five years, whether or not family and friends will want to visit, or whether you will need room for a new hobby. Choose a home plan that will accommodate your future needs so you can prevent having builder’s remorse.

Lot Location

Before you worry too much about home size and finishes, think carefully about where you want to live. Visit potential building locations in person to analyze details like the view, the noise level of the area, and the existing homes. Try to choose a neighborhood that will appreciate in value and provide you with a convenient, comfortable place to live.

Your Budget 

Before you talk with contractors about new home construction, carefully analyze your budget with a mortgage broker and a financial planner. In addition to thinking about how much home you can afford, factor in the cost of finishing the landscaping, furnishing the home, and local property taxes. By carefully examining your budget, you can prevent financial trouble after you move into your new home.
