Vicki shows us how to start from scratch when building your own custom home. This includes the initial steps for finding the builder right for you and a suitable location.

Build for the Cure Custom Home:

• Eric Johnson with ES Johnson Builders helps get the project started to build a custom home. The step by step process begins with finding a passionate and reputable builder that listens to the needs client. Next is finding a location that is suitable for the client that considers topography, jurisdictions and other factors.
• Trisha Johnson is a residential designer that works with the builder and interior design to find the best space planning solutions based on how the clients lives and will function in the space.
• Reggie Ray with Georgia Pacific constructs the subfloors with a factory applied water-repellant coating on the face and side of plywood. This coating repels water during construction. Plywood subfloors keep the floors from becoming squeaky.
• To make your attic space more energy efficient use a radiant barrier with a craft back laminated to the roof sheathing. This can cool the attic by 30°.
• Pre fabricated materials cute down on building costs.
• Tim Kennedy with Icynene helps install insulation that is the next generation of high performance insulation that is renewable.
