Soror Catwoman,
My husband and I made a list of everything our house must have, for example, a certain amount of square footage, brick exterior, age of the house, PRICE (big deal
) etc, etc.
That helped us when dealing with...how do I want to say this..."very assertive"
real estate agents that try to convince you a certain house is great, will meet your needs, is a "steal" even though the price is outrageous, etc, etc.
Reviewing your list will be a sanity to check for you and your husband.
I don't have any advice for building. Good Luck!
