& Property
Get smart with your money
to achieve your dream home
without compromising on
what’s really important.
Consider buying a large plot
of land with friends or family
which you can split into smaller
lots. Many great locations tend
to cover more ground, so get
the stunning harbour view you
dream of by sharing the cost
with someone you don’t mind
having as a neighbour.
Opting for low-maintenance
building materials, like vinyl
siding and metal roofing saves
in the long run. Although they
may be more expensive to
install you will save money on
future repairs, replacement or
repainting.
Using salvaged and recycled
materials and componentry
from the abundance of
demolition sites around the
city not only adds valuable
character to new builds, but
can save money, too.
For the safety and security
of your home, don’t skimp on
structural elements, doors and windows. Buy the
very best you can afford and, together with your
architect or builder, determine other areas you
could save on to allow for a few luxuries.
It’s important not to waste valuable cash on
overbuilding. Look carefully at the existing
properties in the area and be aware that building a
home that is bigger and better than those of your

BUILDING ON A BUDGET
Building your own home is one of the biggest investments of a lifetime and with

neighbours will not necessarily
equate to a fair price if and
when it’s time to sell. instead,
the value of your build will be
determined by the lower-priced
homes around it.
The experience of a wellqualified
contractor is an
invaluable asset in any building
project. Not only will you have
recourse should anything go
wrong, but their experience
in the industry means
they will have established
relationships with suppliers
and subcontractors, whom
they trust to deliver the best
workmanship possible.
Keep a close eye on
construction allowances as
your home is being built to
ensure you are getting what
you asked for and what you
paid for. if you had initially
agreed on using a specific
brand, for example, then don’t
settle for less, unless you
discuss a cost adjustment with
your builder or contractor.
Many a building project has snowballed out of
control in the financial department due to changes
being made to the design and materials once
building is already underway. Deciding exactly
what you want and then sticking with it will
ensure you stay on budget, within your expected
time frame, and all with minimal stress.
