Building an affordable project in Goa without sacrificing on
quality is the desire for any builder. Budget or not, Apartments in Goa are
meant to be of good quality for a good response. Here are some tips for
aspiring builders.
- Estimate Early: Collecting estimates and setting your targets is the absolute first step in building affordable classy homes. It goes without saying that the rule of thumb is that you need to set aside your budget and tally your estimates to be within the preferred lower range of your budget. One may argue that the estimates will only be approximates, but these are close approximates which can put you in a very convenient place. Once you realize the likely costs involved you can modify your plans to suit the established budget.
- Beware Budget Building Lots: Finding the cheapest building lots isn't the same as most affordable. The lot may have a number of clearances that need to be taken care of such as clearing away shrubs or trees, setting and installing cables and public utilities. The most economical plots are usually the ones which have been prepared for construction and all the utilities have been laid out and installed. The cost may be higher, but it saves you the massive costs of labor in preparing a cheaper plot for construction.
- Choose Simple Shapes: Complex shapes and designs are difficult to build. Not to mention the interior designs can be a nightmare when it comes to your budget requirements. Time tested classic designs are not only simple but offer a pleasant feel of security and comfort. A rectangular construction is definitely the best bet.
- Build Small: If you check the per foot construction costs, building bigger seems like an ideal concept. But again, the hidden costs go un-noticed. High ticket-items such as plumbing and finishing among other specifications can strain your budgets unlike anything you can comprehend, especially if it is the first project. Leave the bigger spaces for the more ambitious high budget builders, you are here because of economical constructions and classy designs.
Sterling Residence in Panjim Build Tall: Taller is definitely better. Instead of small height large construction, a tall height smaller construction would prove more economical. The Apartments would be compact, fit in a small space, but within a construction spanning 3 stories or above within a designated limit. You maintain the same living space but with a common roofing and foundation; definitely an economical decision. Plumbing and ventilation may also be less expensive in multi-story homes. However, you need to keep in mind the allowed building height for your construction and the future maintenance costs to be incurred from this plan.- Postpone the Frills: No sacrifice in quality here, but ensure you are not struck by a sense of grandeur. A decently priced furnishing and fittings definitely strikes an economical deal. While each item may look uninspiring or common, the magic is created when bringing all the components together.
- Invest in Quality: If you have taken all the above notes into consideration, you will have saved more than enough in the budget to afford a quality construction which is the core of any residential project. A poor quality construction is always a bad idea so the best of your budget needs to be apportioned for the quality in construction.
