When you’re considering your own new build property in Chesterfield, you’re more than likely to think of the price and cost of the project first. Considering costs and budgets indicates a healthy start to a project, because it gives you plenty of facts and figures to keep your design in line. We know when you’re designing your dream home, though, that things can quickly escalate because you want it to be perfect. As new build architects operating throughout Chesterfield, we’ve put together a guideline of how best to manage your budget to inform your costs.

Visualise And Plan Ahead

Setting out what you want from your new build home early on is the best way of ensuring the cost is kept within your means but is still meeting your needs. For example, identifying how many bedrooms, whether the kitchen is a functional space or open-plan for entertaining, or how many bathrooms you’d like, allows both you and your architects to plan accordingly and therefore draw up an accurate estimate.

Choose Chesterfield Architects Who Understand New Builds

Choosing the right architects is essential to your project, because if they don’t understand or aren’t experienced in new builds, then they’re not going to manage your budget to the best end. Be honest with the architectural design team, discuss your needs, and tell them your budget so that they can best advise on realistic steps moving forwards and whether we can accommodate your requirements with the number set out.

Take ‘All Of The Trimmings’ Into Consideration

‘All of the trimmings’ includes where we might need to collaborate with other tradespeople such as plumbers and electricians, for example if you want a certain lighting system, bath style fitting, or even certain floor tiles. Putting a portion aside for these finishing touches and appliances ensures that you won’t come up against any surprises in the future, because you’re less likely to need to dip into the architecture budget.
