Tip for setting a budget to build your dream home:
The best-planned budgets leave room for error, because underestimating a few expenses could suddenly push you over budget, forcing you to shell out more of your own cash, or cut back. Building expenses often go over the estimates, so you should build a buffer into the budget. The extra money covers any unexpected expenses, or projects that end up costing you more than you thought. If you don't need the extra cash, think of it as free money to spend on that new living room furniture you've been eying.

More helpful tips in building your dream home:
Your dream home and your home-building budget aren't always in alignment, but that doesn't mean you have to scrap your plans for a custom-built house. Starting with a detailed budget helps you avoid overspending, or running out of money, before the home is finished. Thrifty building and finishing strategies help keep your project spending on track.

Here is a helpful tip to consider when building a new home or remodeling. Buy low-maintenance building materials — vinyl siding and metal roofing, for example. Even if they are somewhat more expensive at installation, they will pay for themselves in the long run as you won't have to repair, replace, or repaint.
