Guys/gals,
I am thinking about having a house built in suburban area. I would really like to become proficient in the building process enough to make intelligent decions about designs and materials used - insulation, construction, etc.
I am a kind of person that would pay extra for construction so that I could save on maintenance and energy bills later and be environmentally friendly.
The existing houses for sale have the cheapest materials available while I see mentions of insulation and other stuff that is more expencive but much better quality and performance.
Currently I am looking for the following things in order of priority:
- References to resources to educate myself so that I could start asking intelligent questions.
- A list of intelligent questions to ask.
- What general things to consider - construction, building process, etc.
- Any details, experience, suggestions, etc.
