If you are considering building a new home you know how many choices there are to be made. Hundreds of decisions and all of them affect your budget.
So what are some tips for those who are looking to save money during the building process? Let us get started!
Plan:
you probably thought I was going to tell you to get rid of something. Planning means that the line items on your budget have choices and research put into them. We know it’s hard to make hundreds of decisions but by planning you can communicate style, quality, and quantity to your builder. Allowing them to know how to set up your budget.
Choose budget-friendly flooring:
Everyone is aware of LVT.LVP is both a great choice for installation and price. Since flooring goes into your ENTIRE house, it makes it the best place to choose something with quality but also within your budget.
Don’t finish the basement right away:
This one is a given. Don’t finish the basement right away but do plan for the future and plan for rough plumbing.
Semi-custom cabinets :
We have an in-house cabinet line that offers a great price with great construction. They allow you to pick from trendy or timeliness finishes. Gives you the custom look and solid construction but at a fraction of the cost of a custom kitchen.
Pick some local materials:
Although you want to use the most popular and best materials for your home, there are materials that you can get locally to save money. This includes lighting, doorknobs and hardware, and plumbing finishes like faucets and sinks.
Pick a lot that requires standard site prep:
One of the largest expenses outside of the cost to build the home is the cost to develop the property for construction. When you pick a lot, pick one that does not require a lot of tree removal, a long driveway, or will automatically need a retaining wall.
