We have spent 30 years building residential homes, commercial buildings and apartment complexes and completing remodeling projects. As The Building Consultant, I offer a consulting service to identify the problems of building performance, moisture intrusion (leaks), and construction defects.

Take advantage of family and friend connections: If you have family or friends that work in the building trades like we do, it can save you a ton of money.

Find what you need, before you need it: One thing that we've found is that it pays to shop around and find all the materials before you need them. If you don't, you can end up in a situation where you need to buy something to be installed that week, but you can't find it at a reasonable cost right away, you can only order it for delivery in 2-3 weeks. In order to get it right away to install it you have to pay a premium cost. Plan ahead and buy things in advance to avoid that.

Communicate with your builder: Make sure to keep an open line of communication with your builder and make sure that he knows what your priorities are when it comes to your build. Let them know what's important, and seek their input when you're trying to find ways to save. They have done this many times before (hopefully!) and will be able to clue you in to ways to save on your build.

Shop around for the right builder: Finding the right builder can be one of the biggest and most important decisions that you make when building. A good builder will be able to build you a well built home on agreed to budget, without too many overages or problems. A bad builder can mean that they underestimate costs, aren't good at working with subcontractors and are focused on several other jobs at the same time -which can cost you money. Be sure to meet with a few builders and get references.

Do your research before you build: Go around to model homes in your area and figure out what you like, and what you want in your new house. Also figure out ways you can save and things you can cut out of your build without much pain or regret. When we were thinking about building we went to a lot of open houses to get ideas of what we wanted – and what we didn't want.

Overestimate
You're supposed to order 10% extra tile to cover breakage, but I suggest 15% for breaks down the road. Deliveries are never perfect

Each of us is carving a stone, erecting a column, or cutting a piece of stained glass in the construction of something much bigger than ourselves. -Adrienne Clarkson

Invest in Storage
Closet organizing systems are worth every penny. Otherwise, you have a rod, shelf, and wasted space up top.

It is not the beauty of a building you should look at; it is the construction of the foundation that will stand the test of time. -David Allan Coe

Get It Done Off-Site
Kitchen cabinet makers can build shelving for other rooms, and they'll make it in their workshop.
