With so much at stake, and so many educated choices to make, my family has created "From Plat to Place" as a step-by-step guide and blog for the home construction process, from very beginning to the very end. Inside, you will find hundreds of high quality photographs and detailed information for each step along the way in an easy to follow format. Our site is constructed with the first time builder or student in mind, as we document modern home construction as it progressed throughout 2009. More than a simple guide on how to build a house, this site offers full commentary on the process and links to the manufacturers used in the construction of our house.
This site is organized in several sections corresponding to the phases of construction. Each section is filled with numbered slides for easy reference and accessible from the menu on the left side of the page. Each individual page includes great tips that we felt we needed to share along the way. Hopefully you find this super helpful.
You will read and see many insightful and revealing pieces of information that will help you understand the process of building a modern home.
We hope your find "From Plat to Place" educational, enlightening and a handy reference as you begin your journey to building your own dream house!
