Building Your Dream Home - Tips - Phase One

PHASE ONE: PLANS AND PERMITS
1. UNDERSTAND LOCAL REGULATIONS
Once you find the land you wish to build on do your research. Research and understand local building codes and zoning regulations. Different regions have different rules, so ensure compliance with local requirements.

2. HIRE A PROFESSIONAL
Consider hiring a licensed architect, general contractor or a professional designer to create your construction plans. Professionals are familiar with local building codes and can ensure your plans meet all requirements.

3. PERMITTING PROCESS
The permitting process can take time. Understand the inspection process and plan accordingly. Be prepared for multiple inspections at different stages of construction. Hiring a general contractor can help you manage the permitting process. Be patient and flexible in adapting to any changes or requests from the building department.
