"Having done" or "have being done"? Which of two constructions is correct? I'm having a house built now. / I have a hous being built now. (The meaning is that I hired a brigade, and they're building a house for me.) Thx)

Liza, I'm having a house built now. This is the correct variation to express the idea that someone else is building the house FOR you. I have a house being built now. This is more ambiguous. The house is being built now either by me or by someone else.
