Step-by-step how to build a Mosque?

I know there are organisations you can donate to for them to build a Mosque (and you get the reward), but suppose a rich person wanted to build a small Mosque himself/herself. How exactly is this done step-by-step?

I am guessing the "before process" is:

1. Buy land or a pre-existing building
2. Apply for planning permission to build/convert
3. Build (including wudu facilities, office room, security cameras, etc)
4. Give up ownership (as, from what I understand, a Mosque cannot belong to a private individual)

I am guessing the "after process" is:

1. Set up Mosque committee/board (no idea who is responsible for doing this?)
2. Obtain insurance
3. Hire an Imam
4. Open to public

I am guessing the following are ongoing:

• Costs (utility bills, salaries, cleaning & maintenance, etc)
• Finding ways for the Mosque to serve the community and be profitable (Madrasah, marriage & funeral services, etc)
• Fundraising
• Promotion & community outreach

I don't know if the person who built the Mosque can have a say in how it is run (the name of the Mosque, which school of thought will be followed, who is on the committee, staff hiring... and even the smaller decisions like the color of the carpet!)?

Any other steps I am missing (big or small)? Anything else a person would need to know?
