But there's more to buying a new house than meets the eye. Besides confirming necessary finan- cial and legal ar- rangements, you'll need to decide on many of the con- struction details concerning your new home. Both you and your builder will want to ensure that you'll be en- joying your new home long after you receive the keys to the front door. Before You Begin Establishing a good work- ing relationship with your builder at the outset will help both of you throughout the construction process. Find out who your ongoing contact will be -- your builder may have a representative who will be available more often for discussion during the actual construction of your home. Constructing a house is a highly complex .procedure that demands expert plann- ing, knowledge of municipal bylaws and regulations as well as familiarity with the approvals process, careful scheduling and skilled coor- dination by an experienced builder. A typical house contains more than 3,000 parts, all of which must be assembled carefully and in sequence. But before the process can begin to roll, your builder will need a firm of- fer than includes final specification of all options. This will require you to weigh your needs against all of the design featur and options available tiga your builder. Find out what your options are, and be specific about the choices you make. Make a checklist to use during discussions with your builder or the con- tact person. You don't want to leave anything out! The sequence of events means that it will probably take six to seven months before you are able to move into your new home. Being realistic up front makes the waiting easier. Cooperation is key to Smooth Sailing During Constguction During construction, you may be asked to make some - additional decisions. Prior to any discussion with your builder or his/her represen- - tative, make a list of the points you want to cover.
