Building and Renovating Houses Book. Finding Your Ideal Property and Designing Your Dream Home

​By Paul Netscher

Thinking of buying a property and building a house? Does your house need an upgrade? 'An Introduction to Building and Renovating Houses: Volume 2 - Finding Your Ideal Property and Designing Your Dream Home' is packed with advice and tips for a successful home build project.
​
Building or renovating a house should be exciting, it will be challenging, but it will end successfully if planned correctly. Building a home is going to be one of the largest investments you make – both emotionally and financially, so it’s important to get it right.

The process of building or renovating a house starts at the beginning where you decide what you want, where you want it, when you need it, how much you can afford and how you’re going to manage and construct the work. This practical book takes you through the what, when and where process. Learn what to look for when choosing your ideal property, know what you should consider when renovating an existing house, understand important design considerations for your dream home, and view simple suggestions that could transform an existing home at a modest cost.

Valuable advice to ensure that you purchase the right property and build the right house for you and your family.

Don't buy land that you will later regret. Don't believe your real estate agent. Learn what to look for and the questions you should ask.

Understand design concepts. Learn what questions to ask your architect. Don't accept a house design which you regret later. A design which missed critical essential items. A design which should have been better.
