When Is the Best Time to Start Your Custom Home Project?

Starting your custom home project at the right time can make all the difference. At True North Custom Homes, we recommend beginning the planning process as early as possible, ideally six to twelve months before you hope to start construction. 


This timeline allows for careful design, budgeting, and permitting while ensuring your project is ready to break ground when conditions are optimal. Spring and summer are popular times for construction, but planning in the fall or winter ensures you’re ahead of the seasonal rush. 


By starting early, you set the stage for a smooth, stress-free building process that brings your dream home to life on your schedule.
