What financial steps should I take before building a new home?

I am so happy with my home overall and I can't thank each person enough who helped along the way. Sandy was so wonderful from start to finish and so quick to respond to questions. I was really impressed with the communication between Sandy and my Design Consultant Tiffany. They were in communication regarding my budget so Tiffany was able to assist me without overwhelming me with options that I was not in a position to add into the home. My construction supervisor Ryan was great throughout the process to work with. He was very responsive to calls and text and did a thorough job on the walk-throughs. I'm really impressed with the landscaping and all the trees within the complex, it really gives a warm and inviting feel to the complex.
