Firstly, building your new home is exciting. Choosing or developing a new home design, land and seeing it all transform into what you have always hoped for is so rewarding. Avoid the stress, added costs, confusion and frustration by following some of our tips to ensure a smooth & stress-free build.
Ensure you have a good relationship with your builder
This is one of the most important aspects of ensuring that you have a stress-free build. If there are any issues, who will you go to? If there are any questions about what’s happening next, who can answer them? Your builder is whom you will need to have a close relationship with over the coming months as you embark on building your dream home. The more communication you have, the better.
Work out your budget
Once you have chosen your builder you will need to sit down with them and discuss budgets - don't be afraid to ask questions about anything that concerns you such as materials used in construction or finishes used inside your home etc. Be honest with your builder about your budget and expectations. Make sure to be realistic with the cost of building your new home due to current inflation and the costs of everything on the rise. The cost of building a new home has significantly increased since the pandemic of 2020. Building with a custom home specialist can ensure that your house design not only suits your lifestyle and requirements but can also work within your budget.
Be realistic with your time frame
Finding the right builder, the right plan and the right contract takes time. Rushing to a deadline that is set too soon can lead to poor decision-making, mistakes in regard to your new home and rushed finishes. If you are building your forever home, ensuring you allow enough time and discussing the construction time with your builder prior to signing the contract will save a lot of distress later down the track.
