Most of us find the journey of house building our dream home very exciting. Without a proper plan, it often becomes an insurmountable task. Understanding each and every stage that is involved in building will, therefore, help you or any other first-time homebuyer and someone upgrading the current space confidently make decisions and avoid mistakes that may be costly. We take you through the process, step by step-from design right through to completion:
Every great home starts with a clear vision. Write down in a list what you need, want, and can afford, and you’re underway. Consider how many rooms you want, what architectural style might suit you, and what kind of floor plan layout works for you. This is the point at which you will want to hire a professional architect or designer who can take your ideas and turn them into a realistic blueprint.
Hint: Do a mood board with images, textures, and color schemes to give your designer a much better idea of your style.
Some of the local permissions that become necessary relate to a building permit, environmental clearances, and safety approvals. Though it looks very time-consuming, it is actually very important both from a legal point of view and for reasons of safety. In any case, working with a reliable builder or contractor who knows how to deal with it could actually speed up the approvals and make sure that there are no hassles later on.
Where Plans Become Real The most exciting stage in building a house is to see one’s dream house take shape. Construction is done in phases that generally include: The major activities constituting site preparation are land clearing and laying the foundation. Framing and Structure: Building the skeleton of the house. Roofs and walls give strength and protection. Installation of the primary systems includes plumbing and electrical installation. Finishing: Painting, flooring, and fitting fixtures. Routine site visits during construction will ensure everything is to your design and quality expectations.
When the structure is ready, it is now time to bring in the warmth and personality into your home. Interior designing simply means deciding on paints, lighting, furniture, and decoration that say something about your taste. Small things like handles, tiles, and curtains make all the difference in how the place will finally look. Take due time in this phase and opt accordingly so that it makes the living space both comfortable and stylish.
Check the house properly before you move in.
The plumbing, electrical connections, doors, windows, and finishes have to be checked against the quality standards. You get the handover from your builder once approved, and this is a proud moment-meaning, the completion of your house building journey!
