‘‘Design style issues"



Q
We‘ve looked at several design style of houses in
the Builder‘s Guide magazine and have chosen a
design and have selected a builder. What are the important
things to address at the very beginning of the building
process?

E Foster


A
You should involve your builder from the very earliest
stages of the design plans. The builder can assist you in
selecting the best position on your site that works well with your
house plan.
Most builders have the ability to visualize how plans will translate to
reality, their insights in the planning stages can help you make some
of the tough choices about layouts and how things will look when
completed.
Even simple things like room dimensions can receive adjustments
that will provide benefits, not only should you consider the dimensions
of rooms for size, but also consider them in light of how
materials are sold in their dimensions.
Likewise, a room could be moderately expanded at little or no extra
cost because of the standard dimensions of material and building
techniques.
