Q: What is the hardest stage in building a house?

• <div><p>The early stages of building a house are harder than the later stages; laying the foundation and framing the house are two of the most challenging steps. However, it varies for everyone. Some people have difficulty installing HVAC, plumbing, and electricity, while others find it harder to plan the house and secure the necessary permits. </p></div>

Q: How long do shipping container homes last?

• <div><p>Shipping container homes last at least 25 years on average, but they can last even longer with proper maintenance. Since shipping containers are made from metal, they&rsquo;re quite vulnerable to rust and corrosion. This issue is exacerbated in coastal areas or areas with a lot of precipitation. To extend the life span of your container home, install siding that protects the exterior. </p></div>

Q: How long does a green home take to build?

• <div><p>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-it-takes-to-build-custom-home.htm">build timeline for a home</a> is between six and 12 months, with timelines pushing toward the upper end of that range if you&rsquo;re creating a custom design or need a lot of land preparation before getting started. Hiring a general contractor or a custom homebuilder will help speed up the process, as you&rsquo;ll see fewer delays between different parts of the build process getting done.</p></div>

Q: What will I pay for a brick house?

• <div><p>On average, exterior brick siding costs around <b>$18,000 for a 2,500 square foot home</b>. Whereas vinyl costs around <b>$11,000</b> and engineered wood costs around <b>$4,000</b> for the same size home. You also need to account for the cost to paint the material afterward.</p></div>

Q: How do you negotiate with a homebuilder?

• <div><p>One of the best ways to negotiate with a homebuilder is to forgo price reductions. Instead, negotiate over upgrades and incentives, as many builders are more willing to go down that road than to decrease their own fee. Even if they were willing to take a cut, a reputable homebuilder often knows their worth, so a willingness to negotiate could be a red flag. Beyond that, builders are typically willing to negotiate closing costs instead of offering a discount on the base price. </p></div>
