Summer has come to a close, and you have secured the financing to start building your new home, but you are wondering if it is safe to build as the leaves change color and the temperatures drop. Luckily, you can lay your fears to rest and start planning with your custom home builder, as it is not only safe, but there are many benefits to new home construction in the fall.
Keep reading… Here are a few reasons why autumn is an ideal season for building your new home.
- Saving Money. When the warm, sunny summer season ends, the demand for building materials drops, and many times, so does the price. You will save substantially more on your building products and be able to save money or possibly upgrade to higher quality materials.
- Soil Condition. When your builder begins digging your new foundation, the dry soil and cooler temperatures are perfect for digging out roots that could cause future problems.
- Contractor Availability. Since most construction work occurs during the spring and summer, the workload of builders is less in the fall. By hiring contractors and subcontractors to build your home during this time, you are doing them a favor by giving them work for the months ahead, and you will be more likely to get prime scheduling to complete your job.
- Easy Permitting. Yet another advantage of building during a slower work season is the ease with which you will be able to get permits approved for your project. Local government offices tend to have less paperwork to handle when there is less construction, so you will be more likely to get approved faster.
- Spring Moving. When you build your home over the winter, the timeline will likely result in your new home being finished in the spring when things are warming up outside. This is a perfect time of year to move, and if you are trying to sell your current home, it is also the time that the housing market starts to get hot.
If you are ready to start building your new home, put your fall building fears to rest. There are many benefits to breaking ground at this time of year, and you should consider taking advantage of them. Contact the professionals at Premier Builders today to discuss your home building needs.
