Building a new house is a daunting yet exciting time. There are important things to consider when building a house. We’re going to take a moment to address five of the most important things to consider when building your new house.
Know the numbers
Before you start your new house build, you should know your numbers to determine whether you can afford to build the home you are looking for. The numbers include:
- Costs of construction
- Tax benefits or considerations
- Funds required for the deposit
- Other related calculations.
Once you’ve determined that you can afford to build the house you want — partner with a high quality building company that provides an exceptional standard of workmanship and attention to detail.
Build a new house with resale in mind
No matter how much you love the new house that you are building, it may be unlikely that it will be the last home you will ever own. Always be mindful of its potential resale value. Ask yourself if the features you’re considering installing are likely to appeal to others, as they do to you. Also choosing a design that is unlikely to date or go out of fashion will be a good idea.
Think Green
Do your research to maximise energy-efficiency in the design of your new home. It is recommended to speak to your builder up front about your environmental and energy saving goals while planning your new house build. They can help to ensure that your windows are facing so you get as much sunshine as possible heating your home, they also can recommend solar panel placement and energy saving fixtures that can be implemented throughout the home. Spending some time upfront in the planning process will ensure that your home is as energy-efficient as it can be, saving you money and lightening your environmental impact.
Keep a good dialogue with your builder
If you’ve planned your building process well, budgeted well and signed on with the right builder and lender, it’s unlikely you’re going to face any insurmountable problems. We always recommend having an open and honest line of communication with your builder and other parties involved in the house build, to ensure that you are discussing every aspect of the build, including any issues or concerns, as they arise. With a large investment like a new house build, it’s important that you get the outcome that you’re looking for and Harris Building will help to ensure that you are happy throughout the entire process.
