Looking for something to do during slow down? What better time than this to plan for your new home build!
Our hectic days are usually over scheduled and leave us little time to plan and think about the choices we make. However, right now we can take advantage of the situation and spend time on making preparations.
The same goes for planning a new home build.
Often people change their minds multiple times during a new build project, part of the reason is that there wasn’t enough time to think through all the details, from the way it should look, to how it reflects the owner’s personality.
While you’re looking at your new home project plan, it is also a good time to reflect on what things in your current home what you’d like to be improved in your new home. Be specific and get down to as much detail as you can think of.
Some common questions you could ask yourself are:
Location
Are you in the location that you really want to be?
When you moved into your current home what was your situation, and does it still work for your Now?
Would this plan sit on your site maximising views and sunlight?

Homestar rating
You don’t need to install flash new gadgets to get a good Homestar rating: nearly half the points a house can earn relate to energy, health and comfort. That’s because getting the basics right – good orientation for sun, high levels of insulation and controlling moisture – is vital to create a healthy, efficient home.
