Building a new home is a cherished and emotional dream that people think about all their lives. However, here are points to consider before starting to build your dream home:
-First, you need to have the right team, a team of consultants as well as contractors. With a good, experienced and knowledgeable team of consultants, you can’t compromise. You can really save money! Recruit the right team of consultants/contractors.
-Prepare your budget and stick to it until the end of the project.
-Confirm that all your approvals have been obtained and yes there is no difference in the actual design and execution of the approved plan.
-Then complete the entire planning process. Let all the drawings finish. Until then, do not start construction on the site. Do not rush. This will cost you more later and also result in more delays in painting with frequent partial thought changes due to revision. In addition, contractors will be disappointed with design changes and revisions. Avoid revising and changing plans once they’re done. This not only disappoints the architect/contractor but also slows down work and increases costs.
-If you believe in Vastushastra then you should also seek an opinion from Vastusha advisor before freezing any plans and layouts and before starting work. Let him be on the ship from day one. But trust more in your architect. Don’t let blind faith guide you.
-The selection of materials should start from the first day of work, for example, the selection of tiles, furniture, plumbing and electrical installations, grilles for doors, fences, windows, etc. All materials must be available on the day they are needed.
-Sign small contracts with contractors. Contract conditions should be clearly clarified to the contractor before construction begins. Define the scope of work with various contractors in detail and clearly define the boundaries.
-A site manager is needed to ensure quality. Hire an experienced engineer or manager, or best of all, hire a PMC if you can afford it.
