Many people aren\u2019t 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\u2019s why.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Land Determines the Layout of the Home<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The main reason why it\u2019s 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\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Still Need to Purchase Your Land?\u00a0 We Can Help <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>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\u2019t work with your building plan.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Why You Might Want to Wait to Purchase Blueprints<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you are planning on building a custom home, there is no need to purchase blueprints online before meeting with us. Trying to work with those plans and make modifications is almost impossible. Our team will collaborate with local architects and draftsmen to create plans for your home that are truly, 100% custom. We will take the time to make sure we incorporate everything you want in your home, right down to the smallest details.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Coastal Homes &amp; Design; Delaware\u2019s Premier Custom Home Builder <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Coastal Homes is a Sussex County-based custom home building company.
