Deciding to build a project home

Well, we finally made the decision to build a project home and chose Clarendon as the Waterford provided us with exactly the number of rooms and study and layout that we wanted.



Of course we looked around and compared different homes from other builders but the Waterford suited us down to the ground.



We had of course to check the size of the Waterford against the size of the block we had to make sure that it would fit. That's one of the things to keep in mind when looking at homes, consider the dimensions especially now as they sell you much smaller blocks.



The other thing to keep well at the front of your thinking is your budget and the price of the home.



It's not just a matter of the base price either. You need to add in all the extras such as tiling and carpets. TVantenna and clothes line. and so on and so on.



It's realy good for you to sit down with an excel spreadsheet and enter it all in to see that you cover everything.



And then keep in mind that you may want upgrades and extras which will cost an arm and a leg.



lastly the bank will only lend you 80% of the value of the home completed so don't go overboard.
