Your Estimate & Schedule

The cost of building and the schedule from beginning your new home construction project to moving into your dream home varies with your priorities and plans. Most people start the home building process with a budget in mind.

Your Budget

There are several factors—all in your control—that determine the cost of building your own home. From the building site you select to the floor plan and whether you choose log home or the post and beam building system to local labor issues, there are many cost factors that you can influence. Learn more about the costs of building your own home now.

Your Schedule

The timeline for designing and building your new home is also dependent upon many factors (and not all of them are related to construction). Factors that relate to your home construction schedule may range from your local building permit process, to the weather where you plan to build, to your own home design decision making process. For example, you may decide to personalize one of hundreds of Lindal designs that allows you to take delivery of your Lindal home package within six weeks or you may decide to spend more time in the design phase and then authorize your building materials package to ship six months later.
