5 Tips to Speed up Your Custom Home Build

One major question people have about their builds is, How long is this going to take? As you save time on your build you will also be saving money. Construction loan interest, current rent/mortgage payments, and increasing labor time or tool rentals increase cost as projects stretch past their initial time frame. Luckily there are some ways the client can influence the speed of the building process.

We've included below 5 tips of things you can do to ensure your build is completed as quickly as possible.

Tip #1 - Create Detailed Plans

It's a good idea to decide on as many things as you can before you start your build, and before those items arise in the building process. Indecision is one of the most common causes of delays in builds.

Consider these things:

• What types of finishes do you want in your home? Select:
  

  • Light and plumbing fixtures

  • Paint colors

  • Trim and door preferences

  • Flooring, which types and where they go

  • Special accommodations, i.e.. if you want extra outlets in certain areas, or heated floors, more lighting

    • These things often need to be clarified early in the process

  • Tile selections

  • Etc.

Remember, changes that occur after items have been completed delay projects and often increase cost.
