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

The gold standard. That's what we discovered while working with Robertson Brothers. Prior to building, friends and neighbors warned us about how challenging it could be to work with builders. The horror stories we heard had us questioning our decisions. It didn't take long until we found that the stories were without merit. And every bad experience others had was countered by an excellent experience with the entire Robertson Brothers crew. We started building our house with a band of strangers. When we finished, those strangers had become friends. Rest assured, if we ever build another house, there's only one company we'll contact.
