You have a lot of research to do, but start with finances. Determine how much you can afford to pay for or borrow for a new home. Then look at a few plans of houses. See what you need in a house in terms of bedrooms, bathrooms, etc. Make a list of what you have to have, then one of what you’d like to have. Go out and look at some model homes in the price range you can afford to get a feel for what’s out there and what they look like. Make a list of what you like and don’t like about them. You’ll have to find a piece of land, and make sure it can pass a perk test, etc. By looking at model homes, you can determine which builder’s style you like. The architect will create your plan but you can probably purchase one online a lot cheaper if it’s a basic house. Check with the town to see what the requirements are in terms out house size, etc. They may also have a list of builders, engineers, etc. As I said first, you need to do a bit of research. Good luck!

financing is generally the last step.
