Things You Should Know Before Building Your First House!
From choosing a home building company to sticking within your budget, there are so many things that you need to factor in when building your very first house. As one of the most experienced home building companies in Sydney, the team at Willoughby Homes has helped guide dozens of first time home builders through the process, and in our experience, these are seven things that you should know before building your first house!
Design For Your Future
No one knows what the future holds but try to think about your family and lifestyle goals when building a home. It will be cheaper to add an additional bedroom during the build than to add one later on.
Schedules Do Not Always Stay On Track
Treat your schedule as more of a guideline than a definitive one. Things can change, and problems can always arise, so it’s good to be flexible.
Don’t Move In Until It’s Finished
Make sure that you have a decent place to stay while the build is happening. Moving into your new home before it is properly finished will only end up being a stressful experience.
Storage Is Important
Clutter can be highly annoying, but unfortunately, we tend to accumulate more and more stuff as we grow older. Ensure that your home is built with sufficient storage for your needs so that things can easily be hidden out of sight and stored away neatly.
Invest in Quality Fixtures
When it comes to fixtures such as door handles, taps etc., do not skimp! These are the items that you will have to look at and make use of every day, so you don’t want them to break easily or be an eyesore in your home.
Try Not To Stress
Yes, the process is most likely not going to be a complete breeze. But it will be worth it, so try to relax and enjoy the process.
Choose the Right Home Building Company
Many of our clients come to us after first having been messed around by other, dodgy home building companies. This can be costly and time-consuming, so ensure that you do your research and work with trustworthy builders and designers from the get-go.
