• Developer

It all starts with finding a good location for you to be able to build your home. Real estate developers are in charged with finding a good community and land investment. That might be an open field, wooded land or some mountainous place with a breath taking view.

Developers mostly invest a lot of money and time into finding these locations. They are patiently acquiring individual parcels of land from many owners and assembling it on their own.

For every community the developer builds, there is a specific target. They review the potential of each location. There are those which are exclusively built to look like Hollywood’s neighborhood community in the middle of the busy and populated city of Jakarta, Indonesia and there are those which are built like it is in the middle of the city when in fact, you are near the desserts of Egypt.

• Architect

Once builders purchase the lot, it is up for the architect to design it. The result is a series of floor plans that falls within the community’s price range, square footage and concept.

• Design Consultant

If the design has already been chosen, it is now time to choose the materials to be used and a design consultant is vital in mixing and matching things together

• Contractors

Of course, after the design and materials are set, it is now time to build. Contractors and his helpers do the manly works from the building of the foundation to painting the walls.

• Inspectors

Inspection is vital to know if your home is ready to be occupied. There will be a double checking of the plumbing, electrical systems and other installations before issuing a certificate of occupancy.
