Do you look at model homes or open houses for inspiration and then point out the things that you love or the things you think are just plain dumb? Do you ever think ‘I would love to build a house from the ground up.
That way everything is the way I want it to be from the beginning.’ Do you hear horror stories about homes costing 15 or even 25% more than anticipated?
I used to hear that statistic and I was terrified when I built our first home. I could not afford to go that much over budget. Could you?
This episode of the Positively Jane Podcast is a tad different. Today I want to talk about how to manage those building costs to make sure you don’t go over your budget.
In the episode I chat about:
- What builder allowances are and how they affect your exact pricing.
- How to manage those allowances ahead of time so you know what your house will cost before you begin construction.
- How to keep the price of your new home in alignment with your budget.
- Questions to ask your builder.
And so much more.
