Where to Live While Building Your Home: Pros and Cons

Building a custom home means deciding where to live during the construction process. Options range from renting an apartment to staying in your current home or even a temporary setup like a townhome or ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit). 


Staying in your current home can save money, but it may require flexibility with timing. Renting provides more certainty but adds an extra expense. For those building on their existing property, temporary housing solutions like an ADU offer convenience. 


At True North Custom Homes, we’re here to help you weigh these options and choose what works best for your timeline, budget, and comfort.
