Build your own home, stage one. When building your own home, the first stage (for obvious reasons) is going to be your first phase of construction. This stage is when you will begin the site preperation and dirt work. Typically you are going to have already purchased the lot, and most likely have your house plan chosen and you have submitted your plans to the city for permitting. If you have not done this, you can find information related to permitting in the appropriate section. After the introduction, you will be able to find a bullet point section that will guide you to some of the most important topics for stage one of construction. However, also remember to browse the categories sections for much more in-depth information related to each stage as you build your own home.
