Building a new home will involve numerous headaches and frustrations, and when you are finished, you probably will end up with a house that doesn't fully meet your expectations or needs. Just my opinion as a professional construction engineer with 40 years of experience.
We built from the ground up............selected the lot, the model, the upgrades, the colors, the surfaces, everything..........and love it. Would not do it any other way. We got exactly what we wanted. TV made it pretty simple.

Not a slam............I've known a lot of engineer that over engineer.
