House Hunting: Just Build Your Own Home

house hunting can be so chaotic, exhilarating and stressful all at the same time. You see something you love and immediately start picturing your life and your things in them. Sometimes the price isn't right for you or it's too little for the amount of money you have to spend on it. Sometimes, the repairs outweigh the beauty of it and through it all you'd need a contractor to gut the whole thing. 


That's why I'm writing this blog post today. Why not build your dream home? I know it sounds scary but think about how in control you'll be about the things you want and need in your home. From staircases to bathrooms to open space kitchens, it'll be all in your hands! 




When designing your home, you need an architect to bring forth your vision. The architect will be involved in every step of your design process and until completion of your home. Their expertise and vast knowledge of building codes and proper building can help you choose a contractor as well. Some architects can even help you in designing your interiors. It is vital to choose the right architect for you. 


Here's how to choose your architect:

• Do your research. Ask people you know who have used architects before. 
• Browse their portfolio. Most architects have online portfolios which can make it easier to view their work on your own time instead of having to have a meeting. 
• Get an overall feel of what you'd like your architect to do for you and how well they problem solve by asking them a few questions. 

To help you with choosing, KG Style Designs recommends you take a look at some of the residential architects listed on Houzz.com.   

Best,
