Thanks John The Beauty of a Construction Site by James M. Crisp, AIA
It is a bit like viewing the inside of a person during an operation. Yes, it may be messy and confusing unless you know how everything works, but it is always fascinating and sometimes beautiful. Not to take the metaphor too far, but a home has structure like we have bones, wiring and controls as we have nerves, and mechanical systems like we have...maybe I've gone too far, but you can see where I'm going. The most universal observation is that during the building process, the scale of rooms and the overall building changes dramatically depending on the phase of construction. When the foundation is poured, the space may look too small. With the framing up, the building may look too large. Trim, siding, windows and roofing bring the massive structure back into proportion. Inside finishes and trim, as well as cabinetry and paint, make a room that felt too large or small feel comfortable. The craftsmanship that goes into the framing, rough plumbing, and electrical work pays off as the home is being finished. Straight, plumb, and square walls and floors make the trim carpenter's work easier and faster. You can tell a lot about a contractor by the way the early stages of the building are completed. If they care about the way the house is framed, chances are they will take the same care in finishing the job. James M. Crisp, AIA is an architect working in New York, Connecticut and Massachusetts. Essentials For Building a New Home by Kathleen Whitlow
When building the new home the new-homeowners-to-be have to keep in mind what they want their new house to look like. A home should reflect the personality of the people that are going to be living in it. Many home building companies and new home contractors have an array of choices of house plans that customers can choose from. Each home design that you may have to choose from may be in a different price range, have a range of features and have totally different exterior looks. The whole point of having all of these choices is to let the homeowner have, in a sense, the home of their dreams. Without having these essential choices, or only having a few home designs to work with, can make your newly-built house turn into something that you aren't "in love" with. With your new abode, you should feel fulfilled; not like you settled for something that was mediocre. When choosing where your residence will be built, you have another important decision on your hands. The location of your new house is essential to off-setting its appearance and being conducive to your lifestyle. The location of your home should be chosen using a few different criterions. New homeowners should check into the school districts surrounding the dwelling so that when it comes time for the children to go to school, they will be attending one that will give them the proper education. Other aspects to consider when choosing a location is proximity to work, neighbors and neighborhoods, local activities and much more.

Something that architects and contractors take for granted but that homeowners rarely experience, is the construction site. When it is your house being built or added onto, I recommend that you spend as much time as possible with the "insides" of the place where you will be living.
Building a new home can be a big step for everyone. A new house is something that is a milestone in ones life. Besides keeping up with the house plans, the location, the material, etc., there are other things, besides the construction of the house that a new homeowner has to remember, consider and implement.
