Five ways to keep a build on budget
What we tell everyone who's thinking about building right now.
- 1
Give your architect a detailed brief. Know what you need. Wants are nice, but needs are needs. Bring your builder in early.
- 2
Know the costly elements. Corner windows, large glazed sections and multiple roof windows all add up fast.
- 3
Understand your build method. Know the materials, their limits, and how the design affects how they're used.
- 4
Get a detailed cost from your contractor. One number on a page isn't a quote.
- 5
Get proper drawings. Vague drawings lead to vague prices, vague finishes and poor delivery.
