So the time has finally come for you to build the home of your dreams? Congratulations!
Dreaming of your perfect home is easy, but turning it into a reality can be more complicated than you think. When you build your home, the first steps is to think about how your family live and what you need. Also your style and the look you want to achieve.
Here are just a few of the most important things to be very clear on before your design and construction process begins, so that when your new home is complete – you’ll be 100% satisfied with the result!
Have A Clear Design In Mind
As we mentioned, when it comes to turning your dreams into a reality, the more information the better! Your design team need to know everything – how many bedrooms and bathrooms you want, you can get an idea on floor plan options from our designs.
Put together a folder of what you love and share that with the team. Include examples of even the finest details – fixtures, fittings and so. A great place to start is our past project gallery.
And, of course, remember to communicate your negotiables and non-negotiables with them. We can’t stress this enough, the more info upfront, the quicker our design team will be able to nail your custom designed home!
Think about your budget.
The Icon difference is about designing you a home that you love, at a budget you can afford. Our team are great at finding ways to achieve an architectural look without the price tag, but to design to your budget, we need to have an idea of what it is. We have projects that range from $800K – $2M+, so we can work with a range of budgets. The last thing we want is for anyone to be disappointed, so if we know where you would like to stay in terms of budget the team will design to that.
Remember To Be Flexible
At times site conditions, council requirements or budget constraints may dictate what is possible.
Make a clear distinction between what you’d like and what you need. Our team would love to be able to deliver both, but at times you may need to compromise.
Planning your dream home on the Northern Beaches can quickly feel overwhelming or confusing, but staying focused can make all the difference. Start by establishing a realistic budget before diving into the details. Be clear about your vision, but remain flexible enough to take expert advice, adjust your expectations, or increase your budget if needed to meet your goals. By keeping these key factors in mind, you’ll be much more likely to create the home you’ve always dreamed of.
Our team are waiting to help you create your dream home and make it a reality. Get in touch today to start the process.
