Important Things To Remember When Choosing A House Floor Plan by VocalWalls: 9:09pm On Sep 14, 2016 |
We all want to live in our dream houses, the type of homes we see in the movies, serene environment, dreamy, and full of imaginations, however, having a home that looks as awesome as your dream house needs much more than just the admiration. Here wI have outlined some of the aspects you need to keep in mind when it comes to making the right selection: Carry Out A Thorough House Plan Research • Begin by researching the present building cost in the market: For this, you can get in touch with the realtor in your locality or the home builder and discuss about the average cost per square foot. This will help you get an average estimate of the expenses you will incur. Make Proper Inquiry On The Cost Difference • When you are discussing with your home builder, make sure to enquire about the cost difference of a single level home compared to a multi-level home. This valuable information will help you take the plan forward. Multi level house floor plans are definitely costlier than the single level homes and thus you need to be prepared accordingly. Planning For Contingencies • Let's assume that you have already decided on the financial part and now ready with the required amount of budget for constructing your new home. You should begin with this amount and subtract 10% from it at the very beginning. This will help you to take care of all the other expenses that come in your way during the construction procedure. Strategizing With Your Building Budget • Divide the net building budget by cost of average square foot. You should be looking for low square footage to high square footage house floor plans sizes. If you are looking for the multi level floor plans, you will not be very uncomfortable with the higher range prices. Play The Space Game • Plan the total space or functions you will require in your home. You should not confuse it with the total number of rooms you will need. People generally look for specific rooms, which can be used for a single as well as for multipurpose. Bathrooms? Bedrooms? What Else? • You should calculate the total number of bathrooms and bedrooms you will require. When you chalk out the actual plan, you might find it deviating slightly from your original plan. This is the time you should analyze if you need all the bedrooms and bathrooms you had planned for. Keep in mind the concept that multi level house floor plans are more economical. It's Okay To Ask For More • House floor plans that you see online can be customized according to your requirements and needs. You can ask for an extra garage space, change the exteriors or ask for an additional room. These are some of the vital aspects that you need to keep in mind when it comes to selecting the right house floor plans. Since you have the Internet to help you through the process of search, you can continue your search for valuable information till you are entirely satisfied with the results, sitting within the comfortable confinements of your home.

Ayoolla: Hello Sir, here's what I wrote Multi level house floor plans are definitely costlier than the single level homes and thus you need to be prepared accordingly. Multi-level floors are ideal in cases where we gave to be economical with space, however, it deals a heavy blow on the financial plans. http://www.vocalwalls.com/round-rug-decoration/ http://www.vocalwalls.com/kitchen-renovation-project-facts/ http://www.vocalwalls.com/small-kitchen-bathroom-design-idea/ |

When I read this I realize that this is not completely suited to the Nigerian style. This is more of Western style. Some of them are relevant to Nigeria but some of them are not. 1 Like |

I had expected more specific examples relating to the title of the post but the OP spoke in loose general terms. Here are the things I would consider in my floor plan. Step-up vs step-down floors: It used to be the vogue to climb up or down a few steps to access areas of the house. Even people who had level ground created the steps. I advise against these because one (especially elders) can trip on them and fall. Also, they make moving things, eg. furniture and fridge around the house difficult. Location of the kitchen vs the sitting room: Do you want your wife to wade through the sitting room to the kitchen with her fresh purchases of veggies, etc? Or do you prefer she sneak in through some other route without disturbing the proceedings in the sitting room? Backyard exit:: Recently, I saw a plan in which the architect did not make provision for a door that leads outside at the back. Say you want to go to the back to start your generator or run away, you don't have to pass through to the front. Location of the wardrobe vs the bathroom: With everybody using marbles on bathroom walls these days, this may not matter much. When the wardrobe shares same wall with the bathroom, the wardrobe gets damp and smelly because the wall soaks up water. This is more so if the block has more sand than cement. I experienced this some time in Abuja. Others may have more to add, but the above examples give an idea of my general drift. |
