1) Open building materials accounts
Think of this like lay-by but for building materials, you commit a certain amount to a company selling construction materials and that company will hold the price for a certain period of months for you, for example here at Stonecites we offer building blocks accounts, we will hold the price of building blocks for a maximum of 6 months.
2) Hire necessary labour
Lets face it some of the works we hire labour for, we can do it ourselves, maximum utilization of weekends is key.
3) Consider Alternative Materials
Nowadays to every material they is almost an alternative as more competing companies have come up and usually alternative materials are mostly cheaper.
4) Buy Dynamically
if you can afford to buy more materials at once the better, you never know the price of those materials tomorrow.
5) Avoid complicated designs
building a house comes on top of other expenses, if you are renting, rent has to continue, children have to continue going to school, if not handled well, building can led to alot of stress. So a simple design is often the best moreover the most important function of a house is to provide shelter.
