Tips on building your own:

Everyone can benefit from a little extra planning, here are a few tips that will help you on your way.

Sequence for getting started on your building

Finding the right place to start can be helpful, getting things out of order can cause a lot of backtracking.

Plans first

You may want to get your plans first. The reason is, that until you know what you are going to build, and what size it is going to be, you will not know all you need to know about placement of the building, the area you may need to prepare, or the amount of money to set aside for materials.

Groundwork

Once you know how big your building will be, you can start laying the groundwork for it. If you are going to do any levelling, now is the time to do it. If you are going to build a foundation for your building, you can get started.

Pricing materials

Once you have the plans, and have chosen the building you will build, you can get a price on the material list. There will be one in the plans that we recommend. One tip here is to shop around a little. Make sure you compare apples to apples when it comes to material. Get prices on the same quality and grade. You may find substantial savings.

Tools

Make sure that you have any tools that you might need. If you need to rent or borrow, this is the time to start scheduling.

Starting

After you have done these things, have the materials delivered, and get started, just remember to have fun!
