Often the mere thought of building your own unique custom home can be intimidating, especially if the sum total of your construction knowledge consists of being able to tell the difference between a hammer and a nail.
The Builders and Remodelers Association of Greater Ann Arbor hopes to demystify the whole home-building shebang at a BRAG Ann Arbor Design Build Workshop 2013 Saturday. Besides focusing on pre-construction preparations and budgeting, the event will cover essentials like setting priorities, how to interview and select the right design-build team and deciding on a floor plan and an interior design. Finally, the workshop will offer a step-by-step guide to custom home building.
There will also be chances to talk with experienced homebuilders, and you can learn what to expect if you decide to go the custom home route. Yes, it does sound kind of complicated, but the Builders and Remodelers Association folks are there to help.
What color you paint your new home is up to you.
