Building A New Home?

If you are about to build a new house or home, this is for you. Getting a home constructed on your own is a task that can only be accomplished when well-planned and executed. Here are some points you must consider :

1. Fix a budget

A set budget should be a part of the list of your goals. Fix a budget and divide it into details including the cost of construction, material, levies, furniture and even interior finishes. It is advisable to use a excel sheet as a tool to keep a track of your budget and expenses throughout your project. Free budget Guide �http:///yd4tprsd


2. Assemble a team

For building your home, you will need inputs from experts and professionals. List and chose the right professionals that fit your requirements as well as your budget. You need an Architect, Structural Engineer, Mechanical and Electrical Engineer, Cost Planner / Quantity Surveyor. The Architect is the professional that takes lead of Design and building team and cordinates the supervision of the construction works. Compliance with design and material specification on site is key.
