To the public at large; homebuilding covers the way in which they arrange the interactions between those (usually family members) that will be living under the same roof. This could well be an existing house; but, for some; they might be having a new house built specifically for their homebuilding aspirations.
Building A New House
When having this done in order to provide yourself with a new home; the first step involves a decision over location and type of development that you have in mind. Medium to large developers buy land suitable for development and then sub-divide it into individual building lots; the developer then decides whether to sell off the bare lots or have his choice of buildings constructed on them.
The latter is probably the most common practice. Homebuyers are given some choices over house style, decoration and fittings, etc; but, by and large, they are buying a finished house ready to move into on completion date.
The alternative is to find your own undeveloped lot; purchase it; clear it for construction and have a house built on it. It might sound simple; but, when considering matters like architectural design; usage and zoning permits; building codes; etc, etc it can all be a bit too much for the average “man in the street” to handle. And, this is before going into all the different trades that will be required to build a home on a green field site.
Like their counterparts nationwide; a good home building contractor in Monterey can take care of these headaches on behalf of the clients. In this respect; they become a general contractor if not the main or prime home building contractor.
Home Improvements
The common feature in this is that there is an existing house that, for whatever reason; the owner wishes to modify or renovate. This can be through an overall makeover; the addition of extra room; remodeling old style kitchens and bathrooms; all the way through to constructing new outbuildings or decks.
Although not quite on the scale of completely new building work; home improvements also have to meet codes, etc and the work has to be correctly planned and carried out safely. Small scale improvements might be within the scope of an enthusiastic amateur DIY fanatic; but, by and large, most of us will find it easier to contact a homebuilding contractor to sort everything out on our behalf.
