Is it cheaper to build a new house or remodel an old one?
If you're thinking about building a new home, there are two options for you. A pre-built home is another option. This home is ready for you to move into. A custom-built home is another option. This option will require you to hire a builder in order to design and build your dream house.
The cost of building a new home depends on how much time and money you spend designing and planning it. You'll probably need to do the majority of the construction work yourself if you build a custom home. This will require more effort. But you still have control over the materials you choose and how they are placed. It may be easier to find a contractor who is skilled in building custom homes.
A new home is usually more expensive than a remodeled home. The reason is that you'll need to pay more for the land, as well any improvements. You will also need to pay inspections and permits. The price difference between a newly built and remodeled home averages $10,000-$20,000.

If your building is very old, you should first look at its roof. You might consider starting the renovation immediately if the roof appears to be in danger. The roof should be in good shape before you move on to the next stage. Next, inspect the windows. The windows should be inspected for damage or dirt before you do anything else. After this, go through the doorways and make sure that they are clean and free from debris. Next, check that everything seems to be in order before you begin work on the floors.
