Do your research

When you start hiring contractors to help you build your new home, you must research each individual contractor thoroughly to ensure that you are not scammed out of your hard-earned money. When researching contractors, look for reviews from previous clients and check their reliability online. If you are worried about being scammed by dodgy contractors, you could ask around friends and family for their recommendations. It is also important to hire the right people for you, as you want to hire someone who truly cares about making your vision a reality rather than just getting the job done.

Seek advice from a cultural heritage consultant

Depending on where you plan to build your new home, you may need to speak with a cultural heritage consultant. Cultural heritage consultants are found worldwide but have a significant role to play in Australia, where aboriginal culture is protected by law. A cultural heritage consultant will help you manage your construction project by giving you information on heritage regulations and ensuring that all heritage regulations have been met correctly. This is quite a niche contractor to hire, but Andrew Long and Associates can meet all of your heritage needs!

Plan for plenty of storage

The worst thing you can do when planning out your new home’s design is not to plan for enough storage space. A beautiful home will quickly become cluttered and untidy if you do not consider storage, so it is recommended that you plan out space for storage cupboards. If you do not want lots of cupboards around your house, planning for a basement or a loft is a good idea, as these spaces will allow you to keep items out of sight. If you are going all out in the planning of your new home, you might as well also treat yourself to a walk-in wardrobe, which will allow you to store all of your clothes and shoes out of sight from your bedroom. This will allow you to keep all of your clothes tidily arranged, and it will be much easier to look for a specific item of clothing when all of your clothes are laid out before you, rather than stuffed into a drawer.

Allow extra time for completion

It is very rare that building projects ever finish exactly on time. Therefore, it is important to plan for your build to take longer than anticipated and set a realistic date for completion. This realistic planning will prevent you from being downhearted if your build does take longer than expected and will mean that you can plan accordingly for when you will actually be able to move into your new home.
