In 2009, my wife, Jessica, and I set out to build our first home in Sioux Falls, SD. At the time, we both held positions in law enforcement serving as police officers. As you can imagine, over the past 13 years a lot has changed in our lives. Our family has grown, our careers have changed, and we have now built 3 homes. Some of our friends and family have expressed how crazy we are and we have oftentimes thought the same thing! Our desire to build vs. buy has had several components to it. Perhaps one of the most significant reasons is because we wanted to enjoy a layout that aligns with our lifestyle and of course, there is just something to be said about being the first to live in a newly constructed home. Each time we have built a home, we have learned something new! Deadlines, design ideas, budgets, and construction dilemmas are all part of the process. In each house we built, we have said "I wish we would have known that before we started." This is why a well-thought-out plan is an absolute MUST when building a home.
