Building your own dream home is an exciting prospect but you need to keep your feet on the ground when it comes to planning and cost control. Whether you are planning a new extension, kitchen or undertaking a complete new construction project, this article is essential reading. From the basics of how you choose a builder to achieving a sensational style for your home. When you are familiar with exactly what you want and your building plans are drawn, invite a shortlist of building contractors to quote. After the quotes are in check that you are comparing like with like and remember that the cheapest quote may not necessarily be the best, you need a good contractor you can trust and get along with throughout the project to help you cut through the red tape of building regulations and planing permission.You should not be compelled to go for the first or cheapest quote instead select a builder who understands what you want and can show you other examples of work completed.Confirm the contract price in writing with the builder and set aside a contingency fund of 10% above the contract price for unexpected costs and remember that if you decide to make changes or add things that were not in the original contract they will add extra costs that will affect your original budget.
