Welcome to the latest Highfields Builder blog where our aim today is to help keep the cost of your building project under control! Homebuilding projects are a lot like a jigsaw puzzle with all the pieces coming together to complete the finished product. The trouble is the cost of those pieces can sometimes vary considerably, and add many thousands to the overall price. Whilst some areas of the building process are more prone to cost blowouts than others, it’s fair to say that it’s easy to add unnecessary costs without too much effort.
Some of the more problematic areas for homeowners include the footings (foundations), earthworks, fixtures and fitting, landscaping, and what we refer to as lifestyle options. So, let’s spend a bit of time to flesh these out and give you some helpful tips.
We’ve only just touched on a few areas where some simple strategies can contain and even reduce your building costs. The list isn’t exhaustive and we encourage you to talk through different options with Scott, Bonni, and the team during the design phase. Undertaking some research around these costs will ensure the budget is reasonable considering the scope of the project. You’ll be surprised how simple changes can make a difference in the overall project cost.
Having an open communication channel with your builder will ensure all potential costs are fully understood and potential reduction strategies are explored. When it comes time to plan your new home, the team at Highfields Builder is ready to support you and deliver a quality outcome on time and on budget. It’s the Highfields Builder way!
