There are countless reasons why building your own home makes good sense. But for most people, the chance to create the home they've always wanted is #1 on their list. And this all-in-one guide can help you every step of the way toward realizing your vision -- from hiring the right vendors to picking fixtures.

Choose the newest and most economical and efficient types of insulation, roofing, plumbing, wiring, and more
Select amenities such as decks, patios, gazebos, sidewalks, and driveways
Evaluate doing it yourself vs. subcontracting
