Constructing a custom home is a major investment that requires a lot of planning, preparation and time. To guarantee that your home is up to the standards, it's essential that you consult with an experienced professional who can help guide you through the process. A qualified architect, contractor, or building inspector can help you learn the building codes and regulations in your area. Before construction can begin, you'll need to obtain the necessary permits and approvals from local and state authorities.
This will involve submitting plans and paying fees to obtain building permits, zoning variations and environmental approvals. At Buildable, we'll work with you, your designer, and your civil engineer to make sure that this process runs smoothly. Many home construction projects require permits from local authorities to ensure that it is built “according to the code”. You can't start construction on your custom home without a building permit, and in Texas, the process of obtaining a building permit can take up to 8 weeks.
Familiarize yourself with local construction costs in your area and come up with a realistic budget based on low-, medium- and high-end buildings. The International Code Council (ICC) developed the International Building Code (IBC), a set of building codes to protect health and safety and, at the same time, avoid the preferential treatment of specific materials or construction methods, avoiding unnecessary construction costs. It's important to understand these codes before beginning any construction project. When it comes to constructing a custom home, it's essential to make sure that all local codes and regulations are met.
