The Best Step to Building a Quality House
My first step to building a quality house, and my number one recommendation, is to find a quality builder or contractor. This one step will save you hours, days, or even a lifetime of grief. As Friedrich Nietzsche once said, “When one has finished building one’s house, one suddenly realizes that in the process one has learned something that one really needed to know in the worst way – before one began.” Builders, who have been through the process many times, hopefully won’t be learning anything new while building your house. Finding a quality builder is in itself a task that should be explored thoroughly.
For review, the major steps to building a home include: choosing a location, choosing a plan, getting insurance and permits, getting a loan if needed, survey the site, excavate, set stakes, set forms, pour concrete or build foundation or footings. Then you’re going to frame the floor, frame the walls, frame the roof and roof the house, complete the wire and plumbing. After those are done you need to install heating and cooling, exterior walls, interior walls, molding, flooring, fixtures, and insulation. Then you’ll need to paint, install cabinets, hinges, handles, doorknobs and possibly complete a hundred other tasks.
If the last paragraph wasn’t enough to convince you to hire a builder or a contractor then have at it; make sure to get some quality guidance. I, being a major do-it-yourselfer, gave up soon and decided to find a great contractor. Here are the steps I took to find mine.
