3 First Steps to start a new home build in 2025
Building a new home in 2025, is well, a little tricky!
π€·π½ββοΈ Budgets are being blown because no one can be honest about the true costs of building in 2025
π€·π½ββοΈ Designs aren't aligning with realistic budgets
π€·π½ββοΈ And the path to start building is getting more and more confusing
In all this chaos, the noise around how to build a home without blowing the budget on day one gets harder to cut through.
If you asked me, Annelyse, if you had to start a new build right now, what would you do? π·π½ββοΈ
Heres my answer:
Iβd set a budget for the total build and break it down into separate buckets for each cost I know Iβll hit along the way (because my total budget is not the same as my build budget!)
Iβd map out the path from start to finish to simplify the steps (to help curb my easy to trigger overwhelm)
Iβd set some milestone completion goals for each stage of the build process so I have achievable goals to work towards everyday
