Key Considerations for Your Custom Home Build

Here at Broadshield LLC, we understand that the journey to a new home is one of the most significant investments you'll ever make. The dream of a house built to your exact specifications is exciting, but knowing where to begin can be overwhelming. As experienced custom home builders, we believe a successful project starts long before the foundation is poured. It begins with careful planning and asking the right questions.

Establishing a Realistic Budget

Before diving into design, it's crucial to define your financial comfort zone. We advise clients to consider the construction costs and expenses for land, permits, landscaping, and furnishings. A well-thought-out budget acts as the guiding framework for the entire custom home building process, ensuring your decisions align with your financial goals.

Finding the Perfect Piece of Land

Your home's location is just as important as its layout. We encourage you to think about your lifestyle. Do you envision a sprawling barndominium with acreage or a home in a more developed community? Consider factors like proximity to work, school districts, and the topography of the land itself, as it can impact site preparation costs.

Defining Your Vision and Design

This is where your dream begins to take shape. We recommend creating a "must-have" list versus a "wish list" to prioritize features. Think about your family's daily routines, how many bedrooms and bathrooms you'll need, and the overall architectural style you love. This clarity is essential for a productive custom home building experience.
