Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
"You sketch a plan on the back of an envelope, hand it to a builder, and voil…! You get your house." Not so, writes Katherine Salant in The Brand-New House Book: Everything You Need to Know About Planning, Designing, and Building a Custom, Semi-Custom, or Production-Built House, a helpful demystification of these complicated, expensive processes. Nationally syndicated newspaper columnist and architect Salant the book stems from "Your New Home" for Inman News Features, and "Housewatch" for the Washington Post guides readers through financing, lot selection, flooring, contracts and construction. Given that more than one million people buy new single-family homes each year, this book should find a grateful market. Agent, Loretta Fidel. (On sale July 17)

This book is chocked full of tips and solid advice about the process leading up to a new home. It clearly outlines the options for getting a design and a builder, and points out how choices affect the cost and the resale value.

The best book out there on the topic,

This review is from: The Brand-New House Book: Everything You Need to Know About Planning, Designing, and Building a Custom, Semi-Custom, or Production-Built House (Paperback)
Very helpful. I found this book to be more helpful that all the rest, and I have gone through a ton of them. Sure, the design of the book is unfortunate, but the author's actual imput outweighs that. Shame on those who can't see past it.Great book. Essential. My contractor finally recommended it after I'd read too many other books...and it's great. The Kitchen section was especially helpful. God bless you, Katherine Salant.
