I recently worked with a builder to construct a house. With the help of a construction loan of course. Apart from the costs and time line of a build, there are other things to consider.

Going through my own build I found that patience is important along with three main factors:

• Quotes and contracts are only as good as the other party – check references
• Some sites that look tricky can be easy for the right team
• Relationships between your builder and their contractors matter
