Now that you finally found the land of your dreams, it’s now the time to start building your brand new home. But how does one start in such an exciting yet still perilous journey?
The key in starting the construction of your brand new home is planning. Don’t start building without having a detailed plan and a trustworthy team behind you. Below is the step by step procedure into building your dream home.
Choose a professional design
The first thing that you have to do is to envision the house that you want to see. Hire an architect or an interior designer that will help you draw up the house that you’ve been dreaming of. Make sure that the house that you’re about to build fits the lifestyle that you and your family need.
Set goals
Set goals before building your brand new home but most importantly, set goals that are realistic. It can get frustrating when you have a big goal and you’re not able to reach it during a deadline. It adds pressure to the whole process. Setting up a goal is also a way to be able to stick on your desired budget.
Create a budget
Speaking of budget, it’s also very vital to plan your finances ahead. Create an excel sheet that lists every cost that you are going to use for building your new house.
Get a team
No man is an island. This old saying also goes to the process of building a home. Assemble a team of professionals – engineers, architects, construction, inspectors that will make sure that the construction of your home is on schedule and it’s in its best quality.
Get permits
Building codes and permit are all over the Philippines. You can’t just build a three storey house without notifying the local government. Rush into the right centers to complete the permits and won’t meet any troubles right when you are already building your house.
Expect the unexpected
Sometimes, things don’t always go with what we plan – and that’s still okay. If the house is not yet done on your deadline then simply take a deep breath and finish the whole project. What you can do is to stay calm and stick with the original plan that you have made.
