Design & Planning

We all have a dream, some people dream of owning a race horse, some people dream about having the fastest car in the world, a private yacht, a great holiday and so on but majority of people dream about having their own house, a house that has been designed just for them. A house that meets all their requirements and makes them happy by giving them the peaceful environment they desire. As a self builder, this is where you can make some of your dream come true as far as your house goes. You can decide how you want it to , and design it in a way that it would give you the peace and comfort you require. Even though you might be well capable of designing your own house, it is always recommended to get the help of a qualified architect or engineer. They can advice you on different options as far as the design and construction.

During the process of designing your home, remember that even though it is your house and your dream it might be someone else’s nightmare, therfore  you have got to take a lot of things into consideration in your design.

Do respect other people’s opinion in the area, after all you will have to live next to some of them.

Always think about the nature and the environment around you by choosing green. Natural Energy                              

Think about everything in your design and plans. Is it really something that is going to please you in the future. Design & Planning

Is it going to be big enough, have you considered future circumstances like maybe new additions to the family or extra room to be used as an office and so on.

Is the design of the house in harmony with you? Feng Shui    

Have you chosen the right site for your house? Finding A Site

Think about the type of house construction that will suit you and the weather condition.                                  

Plan ahead for everything. Do not just make a decision on the first things you see or hear. Remember, your house is the biggest investment you ever make.
