The most instantaneous answers some house owners will give you just after completion of their dream home is; “If I get a chance to start all over again, then things would have been totally different!”. There are several attributes that we deliberately ignore before and during the time of construction which can cost you like hell when you get nearer to completion. This article will take you through the most common mistakes people make while building their dream home.
Buying the wrong plot
Land purchase involves huge investment. The soil type and quality is one of the main factors deciding your construction cost. The type of foundation to be laid entirely depends on the ground conditions.
Failure to cross verify the plot survey number with the concerned authorities to make sure all the documents including the title deed and prior deeds are clear. Make sure they are not under any acquisition/litigation proceedings for getting construction permit is another act of carelessness that can cost you in future.
Again, most people don’t bother to check the availability of water for drinking and construction purposes which can affect the work adversely. Failure in confirming that the land is not prone to flooding also contributes to the above misfortunes.
Failure in finding an experienced builder for your dream home

One of the foremost and most vital fad in house constructions is finding the exact vendor that could aid you in working out your dream project. They are the ones that could delineate the quality of your dream project. The entire construction depends on a solid architectural plan which needed to be produced by a qualified architect. If you fail to hire a professional team with proven experience, the misery starts here.
If your builder lacks any of the below attributes, chances of successful completion is comparatively less.
- Sufficient knowledge in natural and artificial structures
- Utilization the of the available real estate
- Ability to balance the ecological value and landscaping.
You may have adequate money but still if you aren’t able to find out a skillful builder, then things will go really ugly.
Choosing the wrong materials to build your dream home
We all kick start the process with a pre-defined economic budget and a minimalistic timeline. In order to limit ourselves, we may end up buying low quality materials. These things may badly cause the construction and led to a dead end.
On the other hand, sometimes we often spend more money than we planned. When you get to spot those luxurious amenities like superior quality imported tiles, woods etc the mind will gets fuzzy and tend to buy those stuffs which aren’t essential but just pure lavishness. Also people get fancied by the way that some of the plushy homes are arranged. If you fail to border your expenditure in this area too, then things may not go well after that.
Miscalculating timelines
If any of the events delays, the connected one gets delayed automatically and the rest follows. The result is money gets drained out. Running out of money will badly affect an ongoing budget. In worst case scenarios, poor weather or any other natural calamity can also be a delay in construction. Major changes to the plan after the start of the construction will eat a lot of time for the workforce to sort out an execution plan and thus the timeline extends, bit by bit.
Does this ring a bell? These are the most common mistakes that residents tend to commit while building their dream home. If you can take care of the above factors in a practical sense, then you may find it lot easier to pay back the EMIs in future, happily and sensibly.
So make sure you stay ahead of the curve and step into your new home blissfully.
