Do I Need a Lot Before Finding a Builder?

Should You Choose a Lot Before You Choose a Builder? We Have Your Answer

When you’re in the process of building a custom home, the question often comes up as to whether one should buy a lot before selecting a builder or after. While there is no specific right or wrong answer, there are a couple of considerations that might influence your decision.

Let’s take a look at a few of these considerations.

Deciding Whether to Buy Land Before or After Choosing a Custom Home Builder

As location is often a main priority for many homeowners, it can make sense to purchase a lot prior to starting the building process. Not only does this ensure that you find your perfect location, but it allows you the opportunity to walk over the property with you builder and choose specific design and landscape elements that are suitable for the layout.

If, on the other hand, location isn’t a primary concern, hiring a contractor before buying a lot can provide you with the chance to go over various properties with your builder to find the one that suits your specific needs and budget.

Lot First or Home Builder First – the Choice Is Up to You

Basically, both options offer benefits. If location is a key consideration, go ahead and find your perfect lot first. But if you would like the expertise of an experienced builder to help you find the perfect lot for building the home of your dreams, go ahead and start by selecting a custom home contractor.
