Everyone has their own idea of the perfect home. From tiny houses with lots of land to roam and feel free, to ginormous mansions with a swimming pool and monstrous backyard, to something quaint, quiet, and nice in the suburbs or cities—there are hundreds of dream home scenarios. What’s yours? If you ever get the opportunity to have your dream home, here are a few reasons why you should totally have a hand in the build process.
You Know What You Want in a Home Design
Since you’re the one that has been dreaming of this home design for years, maybe even decades, then you should be the one to direct the build of your dream house. You know what you want, and contractors can tell you if those ideas and dreams are feasible or not. If an element of your dream home simply cannot be done, reputable contractors should be able to offer you a close alternative that satisfies that aspect of your house dreams.
Your Creative Ideas Can Be a Driving Force
It’s true that home designers and contractors get burnt out sometimes, especially when they build the same kind of homes over and over again. However, you can inspire with your creative ideas. Let your ideas lead the ways for your contractor teams, but don’t be obnoxious. Be bold, creative, and motivational—minus the demands and rudeness.
Being Helpful Might Earn You a Discount on Construction
Since you have commissioned your dream home, the build team might appreciate it if you shared your ideas and vision with the
general contractors. The foreman, especially, would love a direction, because it makes it easier for him to lead his team towards the successful completion of your dream home. Additionally, being helpful, polite, and concise might earn you a discount on the overall construction process. It’s a win-win.
If Not the Exterior, Then the Interior
If you simply don’t have the cash to hire for a total build of your dream home, focus on the home you have now. Dream up your ideal interior designs and pick a room to begin in. If you want help, you could hire an interior designer to act out your ideas in each room. This avenue also allows you to save cash over time for the build of your actual dream house.
Not everyone gets to have their dream home, but everyone has an idea of what their dream home would be. If you get the opportunity to put your dreams into action, thank your lucky stars, and strive to have a hand in the build of what will be your forever house.
