You can be in regular contact with the tradesman and can immediately inform them if you need something changed or done to your satisfaction.
Energy efficiency: Choosing to build a home with sustainability and efficiency in mind might be important to you. You might want solar panels and materials to be used that are organic and environmentally friendly. You can decide what type of heating and cooling you want. You might like your home to run on water tanks only to reduce your water bill and this is all possible when building your own home.

If you buy an old home update it and create a modern home that is far more appealing these days to buyers.

No mold, no broken windows, etc. Once you move in and personalize the home, you have officially added your stamp on the home, and it’s all yours. That feeling of accomplishment is indescribable.
