You must have read about the types of apartments that you can choose to make a nest of your dreams in “A Home Of Your Own". Out of the listed apartments if, you have chosen to construct a house rather than a flat, here are some steps that you must pay attention to.

Foundation
Yes! Without a base, there is no successful development in this world. If you believe in Vasstu Shastra, find the location to lay the foundation according to scholarly advice. Expert architects suggest that the perfect foundation of your house should be done in accordance with the height of your planned building. For instance, if you are planning for a double storied building, make the foundation as deep as possible.

Framing a house
Like the human body, a house has a skeleton that gives it support, shape and a framework. The framing material can be of steel, wooden beams, floor joists, walls studs, roof rafters and related components. You must know which parts are critical for a house's structure for possible remodeling

purposes. These parts should be sized and connected in accordance with building codes that are based on basic load engineering principles.

Windows & doors
The skeleton of your nest is ready now. It is time to install protective aids on it. Windows and doors either fixed or operable, come in many shapes, sizes, and types and are made from a variety of materials. How do you select the right ones? You must consider the importance of ventilation and security while selecting the material for windows or doors as well as finding the place for them in your house. If you consider, the ease and maintenance for the future use of your house, the design and type of windows and doors will easily come to your mind.

Roof construction
Roof construction requires prime attention while constructing a house since they catch the brunt of weather's worst. The roofs must be weather tight, secure, durable, attractive and elastic enough to withstand severe temperature shifts without cracking. A normal roof must consist of wood framing, sheathing, underlayment, flashing, gutters and-of course-the shingles or other finished surface. Ensure that a roofing felt is fixed between sheathing and the surface material to repel any water that might find its way past the roofing material.
