Whitefish is a wonderful small city located in the County of Flathead, Montana. It is home to Whitefish Mountain Resort,( part of Flathead Lake Real Estate)a heavily used ski resort, and to Montana real estate companies who proudly sell homes, condos and many build-able home lots for those looking to build their own custom single family dream home here in this beautiful part of the U.S.Many visitors and skiers that come to this area dream of being able to build their own custom single family home on a piece of property personally picked out and paid for.
Surely one of the biggest ‘wake up calls’ is the amount of time and money that it will take to accomplish their goals.Building a home yourself is complicated to say the least and there are many aspects to be looked into.Don’t underestimate the many aspects of construction involved with building any project from ground up. If you use a pre made custom home plan, you still have to adhere to the local codes and zoning laws.If all you have purchased is a house plan, and maybe a material list, but it will still have to be approved by the local building department in your city or town.A favorite destination and passion for many locals is Flathead Lake real estate marketplace.
After you find the lot to build on, you need to know where the utility sources are, including sewage line, and then get permits for the hookups.Much of this should be checked prior to buying the lot. You may end up buying a piece of property that you wont be able to build anything on if you don’t check out these items. Make sure the town or city will allow you to build anything on this lot.
You have decided to handle the general contractor duties, now you will have to get local, talented and skilled professionals like plumbers, electricians, carpenters, concrete contractors, etc.You must purchase many materials like lumber, pipe, concrete, plaster, appliances, etc.Be sure to check that all of the needed supplies and materials will be available in the area close to where you are building.We have covered some aspects of you building your own custom dream home, and there are many other aspects that we have not covered.The most important factor is to do your homework first.
After getting positive answers to all of the questions listed above (and there are somemore not listed), go for it. The satisfaction of seeing your project advancing, day to day, then finally being finished is well worth the effort if you have the time and money to do it yourself.
Good Luck on your project.
