When building a home it is important before you even find the right builder, to have a vision in mind.
This doesn’t mean that you need to suddenly turn into super designer and know exactly what the home will look like right down to the flooring before you ever break ground on it (though amazingly some are actually that visual).
What it does mean is that in order to reach any goal (a finished dream home included) you need a plan. You need a collection of ideas and things that you truly love and resonate with. The more fully you can show and explain these concepts to your Harden Custom Homes consultant the easier and more satisfying your build will be.
If you are building a home as a couple you will need to check in with one another before even meeting with the builder to make sure you can get your styles merged and on the same page. If you go into a meeting with him wanting a Cape Cod Style 1800 square foot home and her expecting a modern Bauhaus inspired 5,000 sq. ft. Home there is going to be a clash and its one the builder has no way of working out for you. Those two styles, though not impossible, would be very difficult to combine.
Deciding on basics such as size, budget, location, and general style are vital before the first meeting. Everything else is details and they can be worked out as you move forward. Choosing paint colors, textures, flooring, windows, and so on. Every home is unique and every project is as well. That is where the beauty of custom building lies.
