3 First Steps to start a new home build in 2024
Building a new home in 2024, is well, a little tricky!
π€·π½ββοΈ Budgets are being blown because no one can be honest about the true costs of building in 2024
π€·π½ββοΈ Designs aren't aligning with realistic budgets
π€·π½ββοΈ And the path to start building is getting more and more confusing
In all this chaos, the noise around how to build a home without blowing the budget on day one gets harder to cut through.
If you asked me, Annelyse, if you had to start a new build right now, what would you do? π·π½ββοΈ
Heres my answer:
Iβd set a budget for the total build and break it down into separate buckets for each cost I know Iβll hit along the way (because my total budget is not the same as my build budget!)
Iβd map out the path from start to finish to simplify the steps (to help curb my easy to trigger overwhelm)
Iβd set some milestone completion goals for each stage of the build process so I have achievable goals to work towards everyday
Did my answers surprise you?

As much as we'd like it to, things don't always go to planβ¦
π Issues have come up that you didn't realise could happen, and you're struggling to solve them
π Your builder is suddenly speaking a language you don't understand
π Figuring out who does what, and by when isn't as clear as you hoped
And before you know it, you're staring sadly at the concrete slab holding yourself back from calling your builder for the 17th time in one dayβ¦
