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 lowmaintenance
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 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
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.
