How can a customer save money before you start the work? Please give 3 tips
1.If you choose land in an estate, they have restrictions on materials & style of your home, which will push up the cost of the building work.
2. If you can build vertically - this will save money on slabs, roofing etc. You will also save money of the size Erf you need to buy. Only if you need a larger home or have a high budget go wider
3. Choose land that suits your pocket, for example building on flat topography will be cheaper than building in the mountain where you might need to do blasting and/or piling.
4. Think carefully about your design choices, take cognizance of the arrangement of windows & doors for energy efficiency, and
