Step by Step process on building a house on a lot.

Hey Everyone,

I am looking for steps on how to build a house from scratch on a lot. house was previously burned down, all that is remaining is the foundation.

I know some of the steps, but can someone help me from A-Z? I know I need a surveyor, architect, etc. A template would be great to follow. 

I know everyone will provide pro's and con's but I am just looking on some guidance and encouragement since this will be my first build from the ground up.

@Ryan Lee

I just built my own house in Alexandria in 2017. It’s the second time I did it but this time building modular. There is a lot to do. You can read my blog post on my website that follows my 150 days of construction. I also acted as my own GC but I’m an Architect so I had some idea of what I was doing.

PM me if you want to talk. There is a lot to do.
