Planning

• The planning for a castle layout and floors are
  critical to the success of building a castle
  because they have to meet the needs of the owner
  and his family. The castle has to have control of
  the area so it can withstand any event. Nowadays
  castles are built with heating systems security
  systems and even electrical power. The builders
  suggest that the castle should be at the least 10
  acres in size. But before you do anything, you
  should do a little research and make some
  sketches of what you want or what meets your and
  your family needs.

Financing a castle

• Castles cost about twice as much as a regular
  house. Throughout history it has been known that
  even kings had to borrow money from other people
  to build their castle but now theres other ways
  that you can finance, like selling property or
  using your savings. The bigger the size of the
  castle, the more money youll need. But, keep in
  mind that another way of financing your castle is
  to go to a bank and ask for a loan if you decide
  to take this option. Remember to have a list of
  materials and an estimate of how much the project
  will cost in total

Distinctive Castles

• Over the years, many castles have been built and
  not one of them is similar to another. This is
  because every castle is built for a specific area
  or for a specific cause. Castle builders
  encouraged building in a rural setting - meaning
  that the background should be a forest type with
  rivers and it should be built on top of a hill so
  it looks like it grew straight out of the ground.
