DO NOT - Look at houses as a whole; look at them in pieces- this kitchen, that bedroom, this floor plan, these style windows, this look from the outside. Keep them in your mind like puzzle pieces in a bag you carry around. DO - Use model homes to get a feel for room sizes and floor plan styles that you can apply when looking at plans. DO - Remember that every home becomes a custom design and rooms can be added or removed, enlarged or shrunken etc. MODELS and PLANS are used to give you ideas, but every house should be exactly the way you want it when you build it.
House retailers will try to persuade you that it's better to general contract a project yourself. Yet talk to someone who has done it and they will tell you that it's not that simple. The retailers would like you to believe that you will save money doing it yourself. Here are some things to consider. When you hire a general contractor such as MH Imperial Homes to build your house, they are responsible for everything and are your single source for anything that you need. When you are the general contractor and you have "issues" during construction or after, you can call yourself.
