Q: How far in advance should I start planning my home addition project?

• <div><p>While it&rsquo;s never too early to start planning for a major home improvement project like a home addition, give yourself at least a month or two to plan and design your addition, find a contractor, and get the permits in order. For larger projects like a second-story addition that require designing with an architect, plan on three to four months of preparation.</p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between a custom home and a spec home?

• <div><p>A custom home is one that you design from the ground up, allowing you to customize everything from the square footage to the interior layout to all of the materials used. A spec home is one that a builder has designed and gotten approvals for. Spec homes may give you some limited options for the layout and materials, but most of the build is pre-set. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-to-build-custom-home.htm">Custom homes cost</a> more and take longer to build.</p></div>

Q: What is the most expensive part of building a barndominium?

• <div><p>The most significant expense when building a barndominium is constructing the metal shell, which includes the roof, doors, and windows. Additional exterior components impacting the overall cost include metal siding and the concrete foundation.</p></div>
