- What do I need to consider when building a house?
Last updated on October 9th, 2023 at 05:04 am
When discussing your new home with potential home builders, we recommend describing how you want your new home to look and feel. From the specific features of your home to the selection of materials, it’s important to supply house builders with a clear vision. It may also be helpful to describe how you’d ideally like to interact with your custom home – how would you like to spend your days there and does the design encourage this?
Other factors to consider also include the size of your land, the orientation and how your new home will respond to your unique needs and lifestyle, without compromising on style or function.

- Building a home is a lifetime investment for many clients. While it’s common to feel overwhelmed by initial estimates from house builders during the planning phase, the cost of new homes depends on a number of factors.

- Where should I save and splurge when building a house?

When building your new home, it’s essential to establish and follow a budget so that there are no surprises down the line. However, this doesn’t mean you can’t design and build a home you will love for years to come – it’s all about smart spending.
You should always look to save money on elements in homes that are easy to replace down the line, such as fixtures and finishes. Your house builder should be able to advise on exactly which fixtures and finishes are best to save money on.
Alternatively, you should splurge on making sure your communal spaces, such as your kitchen and bathroom, work for your lifestyle. These are the areas you will use most, so it’s important to get the layout, appliances, storage and countertops right. Your home builder will be able to advise on estimated costs for this during the design process.
