How would I build a new kitchen in a house I would build?
I want to build a new kitchen for my mother but I don't know where to start or begin or what tools and things I need to use to build it.

Unlike some other areas of the house kitchen incorporate many different skills. Pluming, electrical, carpentry, and flooring skills are required to finish a kitchen. The good thing is that most of this is done if you are doing a remodel but you would still need to make sure that the basics are there when you gut the old kitchen. If you are, on the other hand, building it from scratch then the architect's team has designed it to code and made all the needed preparations. So like previous people have advised, take it one step at a time. Research replacing the sink, dishwasher, cabinets, and countertops. Look for DIY resources for tile and flooring and as you begin to get an idea of what is possible you can decide exactly how far to go.
You may decide that all you need is cabinet resurfacing a counter some backsplash tiles and a new floor or you may want to tear everything out. Hope this helps you get started.

This is such an awesome ambition! I just wanted to recommend 2 resources. Start checking out YouTube for some good tutorials and details of people doing those things. It'll give you an idea of what you need and how to do it. I would also check out the local community for classes / workshops to get some guidance and develop basics. Your library may also offer tools for rental as well!
Thanks for the advice.
