Review Setbacks, Easements, Topography (slopes), Views and the Sun's Exposure
Your Relationship to other houses in the area/neighborhood including HOA's
Driveway, Well/Septic Tank Location or Distances for utility lines with municipal services

Pick a Plan

Determine your budget
Think about your lifestyle
Assess your needs and desires
Evaluate the building location
Review the Floor Plans and Elevations (but remember you will also need at least a Foundation Plan and Windstorm Certification)

Obtain Financing

Determine how much you can (want to?) spend
Establish square foot costs in your area and get Preliminary Bids
Make sure you consider at least these four items: principal, interest, taxes and insurance
Adjust square footage, extras, and upgrades to meet your spending limit
Obtain Your Credit Information
Gather Key Documents required by Lenders
Sit down with your Mortgage Specialist and Pre-Qualify

Get and Compare Bids

Be cautious of comparing only bottom line prices
Level set the bids to compare equally as best as you can

Pick a Contractor

Adjust Allowances as needed
