Building a home in Chilliwack can require a substantial sum of money. That’s why you may be considering building it yourself to save money. Here are questions to ask before taking that step.

I’m handy around the house. Why shouldn’t I build my own home?

Just because you can put up a fence, lay tile, install carpeting or put in a sink doesn’t mean that you can successfully coordinate the variety of work of the many tradespeople required to build a home. At Alair Homes Chilliwack, we have years of experience, extensive contacts, and a diverse list of well-qualified professionals to complete any phase of building a home.

 I work full-time, should I take on this project?

How much time can you spend away from your job or interrupting your duties in order to manage the building of your home? Our project managers spend hours each day tending to matters relating to building. They have to keep up-to-date about building codes and other matters. Managers here get training on a weekly and monthly basis to keep their skills sharp.

How long can you wait for your home to be completed?

Loans for construction are not intended for a term of years. Rather, the accumulating cost of the loan is meant to spur a quick finish to the project in order to end the paying of interest. Once your home is built, the loan becomes a traditional mortgage. At Alair Homes we can usually construct a home within months. If you choose to be the builder, it could be many, many months or even years before your home is finished.
