"After looking for a home to buy in 2008 I could not find what I wanted. I then decided to buy a lot and build. I had never built a home before and was very reluctant to do so because of the horrors I had heard from others that built. I was told the key was to find the right builder. I purchased a lot and had plans drawn for the house I wanted (on my own) and then took them to several builders. The prices were much higher than I anticipated. When I met with Tony Mills of Mills Family Properties, he explained why the estimates were so high and recommended that I have the plans revised. He was very up front with me and unapologetic for his recommendations. I followed his advise, making the chages he recommended. Together, we got the price in the range I expected while still getting the house I wanted. I then employed Tony to construct the house. Tony laid out a very specific budget for me before starting construction and explained what that estimate included. He then began construction. All along the way he would visit with me about the budget and carefully explained what was coming so I would stay on budget. When I asked him for something additional, he never said it could not be done, he explained what was needed and what additional cost I would incur. Sometimes I made the changes, sometimes I did not. It took approximately six months for him to complete the house and at no time did we sit idle waiting for work to be done. He was always on top of the work and what was coming next. He had his subs lined up and kept me posted on what I needed to do next. I found Tony to be very direct with me about what he could and could not do and never had to apologize for the work that was done. I like the fact that he did not "blow smoke" and deliver something that he did not promise. The end result was me getting the house of my dreams, excellently constructed at a price that I could afford. The craftsmanship was excellent and I have a gorgeous home...just ask my friends. Tony went to great lengths to make sure the I got the home I WANTED, not something he forced on me. He was careful to find out my wishes, give his advise and then do the work. I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO BUILD ANOTHER HOUSE USING MILLS FAMILY PROPERTIES.

"service provider sent by American Home Shield was excellent. The only issue I have with home warranty services is that they do not send their repair companies out on the week-end, even in an emergency. The customer service personnel is less than enthusiastic or helpful."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can finance new construction, though the process often requires a different type of loan than one for an existing property. There are several financing options available:

  • Construction-to-Permanent Loan: This is a common option where a single loan covers the building costs and then converts into a traditional mortgage once construction is complete and you move in.

  • Construction Loan (Stand-Alone): This type of loan provides funding only for the duration of the construction project. Once the house is built, you will need to pay the loan in full, typically by securing a separate, standard mortgage.

  • Builder Financing: Some custom homebuilders offer their own financing options, which may only require a down payment to begin the building process.

  • Bridge Loan: This can be a useful short-term loan to fund your new construction while you are in the process of selling your old home.

  • Home Equity Options: If you are building a second home, you might be able to use a home equity line of credit (HELOC) or a cash-out refinance on your current property.

It's also important to be aware that some lenders may have restrictions on financing for DIY house builds, so be sure to verify that you can secure financing before starting your project.

Modular homes are cost-effective, energy-efficient, and faster to build than traditional homes. They also offer customizable designs.

Typically, architects do not build homes in a hands-on sense of doing the actual framing, roofing, or other building. Architects usually do not have the training and experience to build the homes they design. An architect would need to know how to do the specific trades required to build a house, which is possible but not a common practice. A general contractor or homebuilder typically oversees the actual details of building the house that the architect designs.

Start by researching local contractors with experience in cottage construction. Ask for references, check licensing and insurance, and review completed projects. Compare multiple bids, making sure each includes the same scope of work. A good contractor will communicate clearly, provide a detailed contract, and ensure all work meets code and safety standards.

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’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.
