Building a new house or thinking about it?

Then, the BUDGET is going to be one of your top concerns (perhaps the number one!) throughout the process. You might have heard people saying, “I went over budget when building my house”, “you can’t stay on budget during home construction”.

Guess what?!

This doesn’t necessarily have to be your story too!

As an experienced Architecture, Construction and Interior Design Company, there are many things we could recommend to make you stay on budget while building a house. Be informed – we are not really sharing “money-saving tricks” here, but some real-life perceptions from our two decades of experience.

• Make Sure To Have A Sensible Budget

When you are about to build a home, it is highly essential to have a pre-planned idea about the costs you will incur throughout the building process.

Indeed, you’ll have architect/builder fees, construction costs, and a lot of other expenses including those for application stuff, which you need to factor in.

It’s crucial to keep all of this in mind when creating the “realistic budget” for your “dream home”!

• Don’t Get Blindsided By Unexpected Expenses

Do you think we could accurately anticipate how much money it would take to build a septic field properly?

Yes?

But what if you come to know that your property had a rocky terrain when scrapping the topsoil for the septic field?

That’s quite tricky, right? So, how can you probably plan for such things you can’t foretell?

The only way is to allow some wiggle room in the budget. Multiply your realistic budget amount by 1.5, so you have some wiggle room.

• Keep It Under-Budget

As we look around, we see houses and apartments that are too big.

Just how much space do you really need?!

Instead of rushing to build such elaborate, five or six-bedroom houses, go for a comfortable home with the required space, and better design. Be clear about the needs of your family, and plan the total square feet of your house accordingly.

• Prioritize Functionality Over Looks

You can change aesthetics over time, but not the framing members, insulation, and the plumbing systems. So, this has to be the best right from the start.

Therefore, instead of spending a lot of money into embellishing the looks, invest a healthy sum of money into bringing up strong bones to your homes!

• Hire A ‘Design-Build’ Company

And that’s the most important thing!

Choosing the right construction and interior design firm that can assist you in finding the most reliable ways to plan and save can prove to be worth their weight in gold!

Hiring such a group that offers all-inclusive construction services gives you absolute peace of mind, as they will undertake every aspect of your house – from start to finish.
