The steps I am thinking to take for planning, designing and construction are:Hire an appraiser to appraise the property for best and optimum use, and for potential rental/sell returns.Hire engineer/architect for plan preparation and approval by the county and my help in selecting builders or (GC) and submission of project plan to loan agencies.Select and hire builders or GC.I need information books and articles to review, spreadsheet software that are useful and for general strategies to follow.Thank you,

I keep seeing how builders buy lots for $500k, build a huge 3000+sf house and then list for $800k.

I'm looking to find a reliable builder that can produce a quality product.

We just sold two old farm houses, near downtown, for $330,000, to a builder in less than 24hours after we listed with an agent who took drone pictures of the actual situation they were in and approximate to.

Here's what we need to remember about the current housing situation:In the crash, some 80% of home builders went under.

PS - if you're working with a custom builder, and depending on the types of trees you have on the lot, you might consider hiring a mobile mill to come in and mill the trees for you.

A builder came along and sent us an LOI for 105k.

The type of insurance I'm getting is Builders Risk.

I can't reach the builder to find out the energy rating of the home.

A friend of my is a medium sized builder and he still signs his name.
