In this article, we are going to share five major decisions you must get right before embarking on any building project. The fourth major decision will surprise you, enjoy!

1. WHAT’S YOUR BUDGET?

Budgeting for your building, starts from the point where the land on which the structure will be built is acquired, to the point of completion of the proposed structure.

Having a budget helps you to plan for your spending and keep you on track, even when there is very little to spend.

At the point of budgeting, you will know whether your current financial strength will be able to pull you through the period of executing the building projects itself. Budgeting basically helps you prioritize your spending.

2. WHAT’S YOUR SOURCE OF FUND?

Here comes the issue of money. You must determine where the financing is coming from, whether its donations, personal savings, credit or mortgage.

You must also note that there are some terms and conditions that come with credits and loans. You should ensure the terms are realistic before going through with the project.

Every source of funding need to be scrutinized. You don’t want to have a major setback in your hands. Possibly, get an expert consultant to help with providing you the best way to fund your building projects.

3. PURPOSE OF BUILDING?

Structures are built for different purposes. It could be built for residential, commercial or industrial purposes.

If you like to build something that could be used for residential and commercial purposes, there are ways to go about it. The design must be such that it can serve the purpose for which it is built.

Following years of experience in building construction, clients have had reasons to demolish and reconstruct a building because they realized how wrong it was originally built, thereby, spending more than the allocated spending.

It is hereby necessary to get the purpose for which the structure is built.

4. WHO ARE YOUR PROJECT EXECUTORS?
