What happens if I make changes to my house design after signing the Building Contract?
Thinking sneaking in a change during your Build wont incur cost and time impacts is a common misconception for first time home building clients!
Every time a change is made to your plans during construction, the following two things automatically happen:

Your Builder may ask for an Extension of Time to complete the change
One of the biggest tips I tell all my clients: sticking to your plans & reducing the urge to change will save you a bunch of time & money throughout your build!
The time to change is during design!
If you do need to make a change, talk to your builder about the time and cost impacts of the change. Being informed before locking into anything is essential.
