Should you purchase land before hiring a custom home builder in Delaware

If you’re looking to build a custom home in Delaware, you may be wondering where to start. Many people aren’t sure if they should purchase their land and blueprints before hiring a builder. Ideally, you should purchase your property before hiring a home builder, and blueprints should be drawn up after hiring. Here’s why.

The Land Determines the Layout of the Home

The main reason why it’s best to purchase your land before consulting us is that the land will determine the parameters when we are working with to design your home. Some properties don’t support certain layouts and features, so having your property purchased in advance can make the entire process more efficient. On top of that, there are tax benefits if you build your home on land that you have owned for at least one year.

Still Need to Purchase Your Land?  We Can Help

The benefit of being a local business is that we are able to direct you to the best realtors in the area if you need to purchase land to build on. Purchasing your land after meeting with us can be beneficial. If you know exactly what you want to build, we can help you find a property that will support that vision. It would be unfortunate to have already purchased a property that doesn’t work with your building plan.
