A Home of Your Own BUILDING YOUR OWN HOUSE Can you act as your own con- tractor in building a house? The answer is yes but it calls for a lot of hard work, time and a good knowledge of the build- ing industry. You would have to make your own arrange- ments for purchase and delivery of materials, You would also have to hire sub -contractors. The responsi- bility for having sewers, water and hydro connected would be right in your lap. You would have to handle your own ac- counting. It can be a compli- cated business. Unless you figure you can handle it properly, you might just as well employ a reputable contractor and let him build for you. If your main aim is to cut costs, you can probably work out some arrangement with a contractor to get credit for any work you put into the house yourself. This is a matter to take up with the contractor be- fore you sign the contract. ARCHITECTS There are customers who want something special in the way of design or who feel that stock plans do not completely meet their needs. These people usually hire an archi- tect to draw up a house plan to their own specifications. The house can then be tailored to fit the lot and to incorporate those distinctive features sug- gested by the owner. In addi- tion, a lot of headaches and regrets can be avoided simply by engaging the services of an architect to oversee the job. In this capacity he's the home- owner's best friend, PROFESSIONAL ADVICE The lawyer, realtor, archi- tect and builder can all be of great assistance to any prospec- tive homeowner, And, of course, don't forget the lender who can also offer professional advice in his own field. Obviously, if you wish to buy a ready -built house you won't require the services of an architect or builder. Like- wise, if you want a custom- built house you may not have to deal with a realtor if you already own a building site. But it would be foolhardy for you to think you can do better than the professionals. PLANNING IS KEY TO SUCCESS Planning is the key to suc- cess in any venture, and that goes for building or buying a house. Plans chart the course of construction and a lot of at- tention must be given to the layout of the house before de- ciding that it is the best one for your needs. Reading the plans may seem a bit puzzling at first. How- ever, there is nothing really complicated about it. The average house plan can be un- derstood by the average person, once he sets his mind to it, House plans are small scale drawings of the house. Usually a quarter of an inch on the drawings is equivalent to one foot in the actual building. Familiarity with the plans should make it possible to visualize the house in its full size dimensions. You do not have to be an architect or an engineer to get the meaning of the symbols on a set of house plans and the effort extended will pay handsome dividends. With modern medicine doing so well at increasing our life expectancy, we'd better be careful about adding to the national debt --we might have to pay it off ourselves, instead of passing it on.
