Q: Is it less expensive to renovate or build a new house?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/renovate-vs-remodel.htm">Renovating or remodeling</a> an existing structure is usually less expensive than the cost to build a new house. That&rsquo;s because you can save on the costs of new building materials, laying a foundation, framing the entire building, and installing new materials and utilities throughout the house. However, if a home is in very poor condition or is incredibly old, you could spend more on upgrades and restoration compared to building from scratch. </p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to hire a home builder?

• <div><p>On average, the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-build-house.htm">cost of a home builder</a> is about <b>$150 per square foot</b>, but that price can range from around <b>$100 to $400 per square foot or more</b>. That puts the typical price range of a standard, 2,000-square-foot house between <b>$200,000 and $800,000</b>. Some factors that affect the price of hiring a home builder include the following:</p><ul><li><p>Location of your home and the living cost in the area</p></li><li><p>Type of foundation and framing you choose</p></li><li><p>Quality of the building materials</p></li><li><p>Footprint and layout of the house</p></li><li><p>Number of stories</p></li><li><p>Builder&rsquo;s experience</p></li></ul><p></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: Can you build a house without blueprints?

• <div><p>Building a house without blueprints is not advised. It will prevent you from obtaining necessary building permits and meeting building codes and is likely to result in shoddy construction and unsafe living conditions. Detailed blueprints ensure that a house is built to exact specifications and is constructed safely and structurally stable.</p></div>

Q: Why are houses built with crawl spaces?

• <div><p>The primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They&rsquo;re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they&rsquo;re at less of a risk of freezing.</p></div>

John takes an Extraordinary Long Time for discovery. A door and the hole could have been fixed quickly but wasn't. I felt that he wasn't working for my best interest, so we chose another builder. He is difficult to communicate with.
