Flynn, Sally and anyone who has built a home.....
I'm hoping you have some advice to share on homebuilding. Where do you begin when it comes to designing a home?
I have looked through 1000's of house plans over the past 6 months and have yet to find anything that I really love. Our builder wants to put us in touch with his architect, but we've been blowing him off because we just don't know exactly what we want. The architect charges per sq. ft. and does not charge extra to make changes unless the structure is completely altered.
I've been saving pictures from magazines of architectural details that I like and have a very vague idea of what I want the floorplan to be....is that enough to get started with the architect? I just don't want to start on the design and then halfway through decide that I want something completely different. I'm hesitant to get started until we have a firm grasp on what we want, but if we wait until then the house will never be built.
What helped you in deciding on the style, layout, etc...?
