It is important to plan and strategies not just the architecture of the house but also other crucial factors before you decide your residential architects and design to shape a safe and strong abode for your family.
Building your dream house, not just becomes a goal for you when you start planning it, but also for your residential architects as well. From the exterior look and feel, to the interior warmth and comfort, constructing a customised individual space; according to the customers demand to perfection is indeed a challenging task. Be it modern, urban, eccentric, nostalgic, simple or dynamic, the demand for design and structure varies when it comes to house-owners but the objective remains the same i.e. to have a stylish, functional and safe house.
While building a house, one should keep the following points in mind in terms of residential designs and aesthetics:
Location
Before you decide the house design and structure, it’s always important to decide the location. It’s important to note if the house or plot you are buying has better surroundings, convenient transport facilities to shuttle from your home to any other location in the city, drinking water facility, and other essential services. If you are buying a flat in a building, make sure the society has better security services and has better amenities for the family. In case, if you are buying land/plot then inspect the area. See to it that the land is elevated or atleast flat enough so that you don’t have to put money in filling the soil on the plot you buy. Also, make sure that the soil quality is good; otherwise, you will end up spending on grading and developing the land.
Budget
Building a home is expensive. One will have to plan a budget for the smallest expense involved in building a home. If you don’t fix a budget, you will end up spending more or might also lose track of your spending. To avoid that, prepare a budget and stick to it. Fix a price for everything that you will buy for your home. From building material, labour costs, architects to furniture and carpets; make sure that you have everything planned and fixed in your budget because surely you don’t want to overspend unless you have some extra funds.
Design/The House Program
Do a proper research on the style, design and structure that you want for your house because once the house is ready and if you have missed out on a few crucial things then you will have to spend more and may have to break your head for a creative solution to fix. It is also important to engage your family in the designing process and to know what are their needs and requirement for the house, getting a broader idea on expenses and designs to incorporate.
Safety
Safety is supreme. Negligence in safety cannot be brushed aside. The structure of your house should be designed keeping all the safety measures in mind. Secondly, safety tools should be incorporated in the house to keep the family safe from any future hazards. It is important to maintain the utmost safety standards.
Future Costs And Durability
While fixing other important factors for building your dream house, make sure that the future cost of maintaining your house doesn’t create a hole in your pocket. Make sure the materials used for the construction of the house are strong and durable. Opt for low-maintenance material which will go well with the weather of the place and the surroundings.
Architect
Lastly and most importantly choosing the right architect is a mandate. A residential architect should understand your needs, budget, should be collaborative and should come up with creative solutions to cater to the specifications that you demand adhering to the local building codes and keeps in mind the safety quotient for building any residential dwellings like bungalows, apartments, mansions, villas, etc. The services that an architect provides should include feasibility study, study of needs and requirements, concept design development and administration, architectural programming and management, preparation of necessary instruments and their implementation and more depending on the structure of the project.
