Tips for Reducing Build Cost Without Cutting Corners
I got quite excited when I saw the other thread called 'save money on building', but when I got inside I realised it wasn't the subject I expected it to be. I didn't want to hijack that thread so I've started another one.
It would be great to share money saving tips on a build, we all want to get the most bang for our buck and most of us know what the 'best' in class is, but if the truth be told for most of who don't have seven or eight figures burning a hole in our current account a building project is a series of compromises. Bigger land vs flasher house, bigger house vs bigger garden space, uPVC vs aluminum etc.
It would be great if we could all share our tips for cutting costs so we can get the most bang for our buck. Bonus points for lessons that have been learned the hard way!
