3 First Steps to start a new home build in 2024

Building a new home in 2024, is well, a little tricky!

πŸ€·πŸ½β€β™€οΈ Budgets are being blown because no one can be honest about the true costs of building in 2024

πŸ€·πŸ½β€β™€οΈ Designs aren't aligning with realistic budgets

πŸ€·πŸ½β€β™€οΈ 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? πŸ‘·πŸ½β€β™€οΈ

Heres my answer:

  1. I’d set a budget for the total build and break it down into separate buckets for each cost I know I’ll hit along the way (because my total budget is not the same as my build budget!)

  2. I’d map out the path from start to finish to simplify the steps (to help curb my easy to trigger overwhelm)

  3. I’d 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?
