Building a Two-Story House
The roof and foundation are the two most expensive parts of any house. You should factor in these costs before you do anything else. Did you know that you will cut the cost of the foundation and roof in half by doubling the floor area?
Going Outside the Box
Sometimes, to get a good return on your investment you need to think outside the box. The least expensive homes end up being the square or rectangular homes. Add some architectural flourishes to give the front of your home appeal. Simplicity works every time.
Extravagance in the Home
Some homeowners like to add extravagance. Extravagance will add to your costs and increase the chance of future leaks. You will be good to go as long as you keep the design of your roof and home simple.
What about the Plumbing?
You need to keep your plumbing centralized. Your heaviest plumbing will be in the kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room. You will reduce the costs if you keep the piping in those rooms close. Extra pipes increase the chances of your energy bill going up, as well as taking up too much space.
Combining Products
You are allowed to mix and match products. You do not need to stick to one brand unless you are really in love with it. There are a lot of appliance brands you can add to your home and make it look great. Your best bet is to go with stainless-steel finishes because they will showcase the surrounding colors perfectly.
