(Dan Tri) - Careful preparation of mentality, finance and project management is very important to ensure your home building process goes smoothly and brings satisfactory results.
Prepare mentally
We often have high expectations when building our first house. Therefore, the journey of building a house also becomes stressful. Stress is normal because you have to face dozens of tasks from design, budget, finding materials, hiring workers... Not to mention, you expect too much from your first house also leads to disappointment when the reality is not like what you imagined.
Pressures on time, money and family relationships are also big challenges. You need to learn how to control your emotions and avoid letting negative emotions affect your daily life.
The process of building a house is also the first time you encounter many strangers from architects, contractors to construction workers. Each person has a different personality, culture and way of working. You need to learn how to communicate, negotiate and solve problems effectively to make everything go smoothly.
Detailed financial planning
Determining what you want before building a house is an extremely important starting point. Before starting construction, you need to clearly identify the needs and desires of yourself and your family. What kind of house do you want? What architectural style is right for you? How many bedrooms, living room, kitchen... should be arranged?
Once you have a clear vision of your dream home, start making a detailed financial plan. You need to estimate the cost for each item, from design, materials, labor to interior and decoration because people always want more and more beautiful.

Seeking advice from an expert is a solution to help you estimate a reasonable budget with the general market level as well as your personal financial situation. They can be interior designers, architects, or construction units.
Save costs and anticipate contingencies
You should consult others for tips on saving costs, compare material prices, and choose the right time to build. This will help you manage your budget more effectively.
However, always budget for additional costs, as this is inevitable due to many objective factors. Factors that cause additional costs can be increased material prices, design changes during construction, and problems that arise when renovating an old house. You should budget at least 10% of the estimated cost for additional costs.
Prepare temporary accommodation
If you are renovating your current home, you will need to move out to avoid dust and noise. It is necessary to plan for a temporary rental period during construction. The construction process is subject to many factors such as weather, labor, supply of materials, or other unforeseen circumstances. However, you should extend the original estimated time by more than 3 months.
Find a companion
Finally, choosing the right partner is a key factor in determining the success of the home building process. A professional architect or interior designer will be a reliable partner, helping you reduce worries and risks. If you do not have expertise in construction or interior design, work with someone who has experience in this matter.
