Five ways to keep a build on budget

What we tell everyone who's thinking about building right now.

  1. 1

    Give your architect a detailed brief. Know what you need. Wants are nice, but needs are needs. Bring your builder in early.

  2. 2

    Know the costly elements. Corner windows, large glazed sections and multiple roof windows all add up fast.

  3. 3

    Understand your build method. Know the materials, their limits, and how the design affects how they're used.

  4. 4

    Get a detailed cost from your contractor. One number on a page isn't a quote.

  5. 5

    Get proper drawings. Vague drawings lead to vague prices, vague finishes and poor delivery.
