Summary

Whether you’re building a tiny home or the mansion of your wildest dreams, here’s exactly how to do it.

Have you always dreamed of living in a space that is designed and built entirely by yourself?

Do you constantly look at other architectural designs and imagine how you would tweak it, making it better and your very own?

Maybe you’re finally ready to take the leap into designing and building your own home, but after all these years of dreaming, you aren’t quite sure where to begin.

Even if you consider yourself to be handy around the house and yard, undertaking a project of this size and capacity is sure to be a bit daunting for anyone.

It’s completely okay to feel overwhelmed!

But the beautiful thing is that when you break it down into simple and actionable steps, building your own home from the ground up is something you are entirely capable of doing.

You’ve got the skills and know-how. Now all you need is to put them into practice in an efficient way that produces the best results.

Building a new house requires a lot of foresight—things will go wrong and the plan will most likely find itself derailed at one point or another.

Although this is in many ways a natural occurrence, it doesn't have to be in any way catastrophic.

With the right plan in place and a detailed map of how to progress through the entire process, no matter the curveballs you encounter, you’ll be able to seamlessly get back into the flow of things.

It’s one thing to have the skills, but it’s another thing entirely to be able to apply them in a way that produces results.

Finally, you can have both without any extra stress.

In How to Build Your Dream Home, you’ll discover:

  • Why you’ll need to be incredibly patient with yourself as you lay the foundations of your home and begin framing
  • Detailed checklists to help ensure everything is perfectly aligned so you won’t have to make adjustments later on
  • Powerful insight and guidance for successful rough-in of plumbing, HVAC, and electricity—save both a ton of time and money
  • Effective ways to cut costs and keep the scope of your material use within reasonable budget constraints
  • Why certain tasks should be outsourced to other professionals—and how to choose the best business partners based on your unique needs and desires
  • How to take aesthetic design into your own hands with the successful installation of cabinetry, trim, and more
  • How to pull everything together and give all the final touches in one cohesive approach that won’t take more than two weeks

...and much more!

Don't sit there feeling overwhelmed, coming up with excuses for why you can't get started.

You’re ready and have what it takes to make this happen.

Now, you don't even have to make a plan.

It’s a crucial component, yes, but it’s all been taken care of for you.

Now you just need to get busy building!

If you’re ready to finally make your dream of building your own house come true, then scroll up and click the “Add to Cart” button right now.

Must read for home owners

This book was super helpful for my family when we were doing some updates to our house. We take a lot of notes and could avoid getting a contractor for all of our little projects.

Fantastic Resource

We have been considering building our dream home for quite a while which is why I am so glad we discovered this amazing audiobook. It has finally given us the confidence and knowledge to get going with our plan. The book is a great overview of the whole process, with detailed and useful steps to follow throughout the building journey. I see now that there’s so much that I had never even previously considered. A great resource with all the details one needs! Highly recommend!

EXTREMELY HELPFUL!

From the ground up, creating your own home may be a very fulfilling experience. By serving as your own general contractor, you'll not only have total control over every element of the design and construction, but you'll also save a significant amount of money. The procedure does not, however, come without difficulties.
I'm starting the process of having a house of my own constructed and thought I needed additional details before . I am really appreciative that this book is so simple to understand. Look no further if you're seeking for a resource to use in your house construction research.

Blue Print to Follow!

The audiobook is a blue print to follow to have negotiations and skills needed in dealing with builders. The audio book helps plan with a budget so that it is not cumbersome to carry out the projest. It is clear to follow and it helps understand what to expect. The book helps cut cost as one can work with a budget and make adjustment as needed having a clear picture of what is needed. Putting everything together and doing the finishing tourches was a dread but the book gives unique solutions that was helpful.

Comprehensive book 1 on building your dream home!

Detailed checklists, ways to cut and manage costs, and successfully installing items yourself are just some of the many suggestions and knowledge you’ll learn from this great book!
I have looked up bits and pieces on the internet and YouTube but no where did I find everything on how to build my own dream home in one place!
I am so excited I found this book before I took the plunge to build my own house. I feel more prepared and look forward to the next book in the series!

Really enjoyable. this book is well organised with enough detail so that you know clearly what's involved. lots of practical, step by step advice. I like that the narrator keeps gently reminding you when you are at a point where you can relax a bit and celebrate your achievement.
