When deciding to build a new house , cottage or just do a major renovation such as an addition there are several key factors to consider.
1. Allow yourself sufficient time to get the job done. The preplanning of the job is as important as the job itself, and can take from weeks to months to get everything in order.
2. The final design of the project is important in that it must suit your present and future needs and as well be attractive.
3. Carefully plan out what the job is going to entail and what it is going to cost. Changes made while construction is in process can add up to costly over runs.
4. Prepare a budget of what you want to spend from the begining and work with it. Compare what alternative designs and materials that may increase or save you money.
5. Decide what you want and actually need in the finished project.
