Is it good to construct a house in the farm or buy a ready made house?

I am wondering if I should go with constructing a farm house in my farm or I should go with some alternative.

Any help?

My suggestions are constructing a farm house might be a good idea if you are already settled in the farm and you are aware about nearby surroundings and materials and you are 100% sure that you are going to live in the farm house, if not its not wise to invest huge amount to construct a farm house.

The cost or materials, labor are so high these days that you will end up spending lacs of rupees in constructing a small house in which you will spend few nights hardly. On top of the cost, the frustration you will get dealing with materials people, labors, masons and surroundings are a big challenge when you are not local (even locals face these issues) and you will end up loosing patience and night sleep will be gone. Initially it looks simple if you have money and you will get it constructed but believe me sometimes its a nightmare.

Initially my Civil Engineer brother told me that I should go with Container house but I didn't hear this advice and sometimes I regret. I would strongly recommend that if you are new to that area, do not spend too much money in house, either you go for a single small room or better buy a container house (2-3 lacs). The container house has a lot of advantages

All above are my experience based on my farm house construction, read more http://www.rameshwari.com/search/label/farm%20house
