Budgeting Checklist.
Planning your dream home build?
✏️ A comprehensive checklist is essential for budgeting your project. From selecting materials to co-ordinating deliveries, every detail counts. See our checklist below;
Make sure you have a detailed plan of the works you intend to carry out right down to paints, tiles and plug sockets.
Get samples of materials and fixtures you like so you can be sure what you are choosing and to make sure they arrive on time. Some products might have a longer lead time than others and can impact the speed of your project completion.
Agree the schedule of works with your builder. That way you will know if you need to plan moving out for a bit of the build phase. Planning for these extras will allow you to budget accordingly.
It's also good to have a contingency budget in case you go over; we say "in case" but going over budget is easy to do, we know this ourselves from our own projects. You might also decide you want higher end tiles in your bathroom or kitchen, you may look at the plug sockets and consider if you'd prefer to have USB sockets instead of your normal 3 pin. Or you might look at venetian plastering as an alternative to a smooth plaster finish.
Setting up a Pinterest is a good way to find looks that you and your family like, you can then create mood boards.
From early in the journey of building your dream home we can work with you to ensure you work in lime with budget and time scales.
