Well as a start, I wanted to make it either to know when, where and how to start anything, cause I guess it is the hardest part, only once you start then whooooww.

And when it comes to your new house "YOUR DREAM HOME" it might turn to a nightmare just to start or even to decide what it is going to be like.

Here are step by step tutorials and lists for you to have a nice easy professional plan in building you dream home.


At First; you need to start choosing the best environment for you living.
here is your first list of questions to decide the location.

  1. If you have children, where dose their schools/nurseries located?
  2. Where is your work and you supposes's work located ?
  3. Do you need to be nearby your relatives somehow?
  4. If you have a car, where is your nearest service centre?
  5. How far are the utilities and facility centres are located? i.e. hospitals, pharmacies, supper markets, groceries, ...etc. ?
And here are some tips for not recommended zones.

  1. Any chaos area i.e gas station, embassy, governmental premises...etc.
  2. Any utilities support area i.e. water station, waste management station, sanitation centres, transportation centres ..etc.
  3. You do no need to be just infornt of a school, university, market, and any association that attracts crowds and traffic jam.
  4. If you like quietness, then don't live beside concerts areas, theatres, ..etc.
  5. Any high ways, bridges, subways, ..etc.
Now here are some areas you can live with.

  1. A mall; you can shop daily ;)
  2. A food-court, restaurant, home furniture and accessories shops, or any low profile shops.
  3. Public gardens.
  4. Nurseries, bookshop, or libraries.

You shall be a lucky one if you have these nearby.

  1. Golf Area or huge landscape.
  2. Any Water source.
  3. Music center.
  4. An artistic celebrity neighbour :D
  5. A GYM
You are now ready for the Second step which is the physical location of your dream home.

Start with the type; and this part is d for anyone, this is just from the size perspective.

  1. Villa; Large, Medium, Small size. (suitable for big size families)
  2. Duplex.(suitable for 5-4 family members)
  3. Loft Appartment. (suitable for a bachelor, or a couple)
  4. Appartment. (according to the size; it can accommodate up to 5 family members)
  5. Studio. (suitable for a bachelor, or a couple for a temporarily host)
Don't forget that the level and the orientation is a must, where the level or your accommodation and sleep areas shall be considered
  1. A Ground floor if you need  playground.
  2. An Upper Ground if you care about privacy.
  3. The First and the second is the best for non- elevator building and have a better quietness and more privacy.

  2. Ask for the northeast.
