Complete process guide
Turning your construction dreams into reality is a long and winding road. This section will serve as a roadmap, to help you avoid the detours and potholes along the way. It describes everything from how to interview a contractor to how to make decisions with your spouse. If you have the time, read the entire section in order to get a complete understanding of the whole process. Otherwise, search for specific information under each heading's sub-topics. There is also a glossary to look up unfamiliar terms.
Many homeowners spend as much time researching their next car as they do their next construction project, even though the stakes of home improvement are considerably higher (the fact that you're reading this means you're not that type). Although it's possible to learn as you go, it can be a very costly education. Whatever time you can spend up front learning about design, construction, decision-making, etc will more than pay for itself both in cost savings and satisfaction with the finished project.
