and techniques
On time and
on budget
Designing your own home is daunting
common problems include
design overwhelm
Designing a home is an enormous project, composed of thousands of small decisions, each one impacting on the ones that follow. The problem for most people starting out is that you don't know what you don't know.
runaway costs
Everyone's heard the construction horror stories. Custom-designed homes are notorious for looking pretty on paper, but quickly blowing the budget. However, there are ways to design a home that gives an accurate final cost.
quality control
When building a home you must entrust your dream to a team of other people – architects, builders and contractors. But assumptions can be made about your taste, values and lifestyle that lead to a finished design that doesn't feel like 'you'.
