Building a home can be stressful – choosing a home design that will work for you and your family while considering your budget restraints can seem daunting. Here are a few questions to ask yourself to help you choose the best home design for you!
What is your budget?
Before you get started, it is important to know what your total spend can be – what is your overall budget? Before you go shopping, you will need to make a decision on the budget split between your house build and the land spend. This will make shopping much easier!
Location, location, location!
Do you know where you’d like to live? Research into different locations as well as drawing up the pros and cons for your top choices will help you to make the final decision! A key is to make your house design work for your surroundings – be sure to share your lifestyle and living requirements with your architect and builder so that they can help with a few suitable suggestions.
What do you look for in a home?
Before deciding on a final home design, it’s important to consider what will work specifically for you, your family and your lifestyle. Questions such as how many people live in your home or what are the ages of everyone who will be living in your home?
What’s the weather like?
Natural weather conditions impact your lifestyle in your home. Air-conditioning, gutters, patio’s, swimming pools are all design elements built in relation to the natural weather conditions.
