Tips before building a cabin or lake home

Prepare Financing

Make sure that your financing will cover both the land and the build of your lake home or cabin if you don’t already own the property. This should be one of your very first steps. Knowing what sort of loan you qualify for ahead of time will help make your selection and process move forward more seamlessly. 

Find Good Property

Do your research. Make sure the land is suitable for building and will allow for proper septic and drainage. It is important that the property doesn’t have any major obstacles that would interfere with building.

Know the Laws

Be aware of the county requirements to build on the property. There may be required setbacks and or restrictions that vary depending on if the property is considered lake property, government-controlled or wetlands. 

Plan Ahead

Spend the time planning ahead for all possible intentions of the home. Design the home to take full advantage of waterfront or beautiful views from the most important rooms that suit your needs. 

Expect Hiccups

Don’t ever assume that the builder can read your mind. It is important to communicate as much as you can. Delays happen, weather can interfere and building any size of home can become stressful. Remember to always plan for extra time, expect the unexpected and that kindness can go a very long way.
