Having the opportunity to build their own custom-designed home is a dream shared by many homeowners. If you're about to make that dream a reality, it's important that you know how to prepare to ensure that the construction process goes smoothly. The custom home builders at Johnson Imperial in Hastings and Kearney, NE have been providing construction management services and building custom homes for satisfied clients since 1918. Here are their tips on how to prepare before you hire a construction company and start work on your dream home.

• Establish a Budget: Decide how much you want to spend, and work with an experienced construction company to find a custom home that fits your budget as well as your personal needs. Once you establish the budget, review it with a professional custom home builder to ensure that your plans are realistic.
• Select a Location: Investigate the areas where you’d like to live. Look not only at neighborhoods, but at school districts and other area features that are important to you and your family.
• Write Out Lists of Your Wants & Needs: Every home needs certain features, and homeowners want many others. Make lists of the features you can’t live without—your “needs”—and also the ones you would like to include if the budget permits.

  

• Choose an Experienced Custom Home Builder: Working with a professional builder who is experienced in residential construction and building custom homes will save you time, money, and stress. An experienced custom home builder like Johnson Imperial has the skills to build you not only a wonderful home, but one that’s customized to meet your needs.
