1. Define Realistic Budget early in the Design Process and work to keep control of your cost.
2. Building a Home is not the same as buying a house. Custom Homes are derived completely
from options. It is the choices that are the heart and soul of the design process.
The act of home construction is unlike any other acquisition or purchase.
3. Take ideas from Sarah Susanka’s “Not So Big House” and “Home by Design – Transforming
Your House Into Home” books to design a smaller, multifunctional home with a plan for the
future use of the spaces as your family unit changes and ages.
4. A Homebuyer can create their own custom home, a home of their dreams, if they understand
the impact of the choices they make.
