Owning a new home is a dream come true for every person. There are lot of things to consider like new furnishing, wall decors, and the list goes on. In such a crucial point deciding the décor for your house becomes easy, when you have an experienced interior designer to assist you all along. There are various colour schemes, themes, inspirations readily available for decorating your home, apart from what the designer suggests.
 To tastefully decorate your home, you got to have the flare for things that are functional yet soothing to your eyes. The first step is go basic, think what all can be incorporated without breaking the harmony of the existing décor and your budget of course.  Focus to choose an attractive colour palette along with common design elements. For deciding colour palette use elements that you already have at home, such as wardrobe, carpets, even the kitchen and balcony.
Collect designs from the internet
Internet is a great source for everything that you are not aware of. Choose a colour palette that goes in sync with your lifestyle. For every room you can choose a unique design but it will be easier to have a common theme for every room. You can even extend the theme to the balcony or living areas from the master bedrooms. From the internet you can even get expert design tips, ideas, and suggestions and discuss them with your interior designer. It helps you to complete the home décor and offer you the feeling of accomplish that you did something in your budget - the lively living room and cosy interiors would bring warmth, as you designed them according to the lifestyle of the family.
Finalize the idea
Finalizing the idea is bit tricky as you get overwhelmed with a galore of options online or in a store. Now it’s time to set the map and start working. Focus what is of top most priority in which room, for example, the bedroom centres around the bed, so make sure to highlight the bedding. Then the curtains, furniture and accessories like side lamps and all are chosen. In every case, time, lifestyle and budget stay of primary concern, to ensure that you don’t go overboard seeing so many options in front of you.
Set aside the budget
Budget is the basic constraint people usually hesitate while hiring professional home décor services from interior designers. Ensure that better quality products must be installed at elements and spaces where you spend most of your time. It may include choosing the right bedding and furniture, upholstery for the living area. Add a personal touch to the décor if you have some sewing or knitting skills and save some amount of money.
Get the right ingredient
Choosing the right ingredients impacts your interior decoration greatly. It doesn’t matter in which way the house is built, all that means is how you have accessorized it to suit your functional needs and lifestyle.  Be it choosing the fabric for the curtains or the water proof furnishing for the bathroom, everything should be done carefully.
You are good to go
Once you have collected the home décor materials for your home, you are good to go. Start with your designer to revamp the look using all that beautiful fabric, wallpapers, accessories and furnishing you have got. Hand painted or machine printed, choosing the right fabrics would transform the interiors.

Confessions of a custom homebuilder

ConstructionCost    05:18    No comments
A house is the basic need of every individual and people hold it close to their heart. There are ready-to-move-in homes and custom homes as well. People choose their nest according to their preference, budget and convenience. Real estate agents and custom home builders offer a varied range of houses for buyers, spanning over different price ranges.
There is a lot about what goes in the mind of a home buyer and how they make their deals while choosing the dream home and a lot less about what a homebuilder thinks.
We, as a custom home builder, bring you these facts that let us sustain in the industry:
  1. Customers first
Though, as a construction company we try to sell homes to prospective buyers, it does not mean that we don’t consider their actual requirements. When an individual approaches a custom home builder to get assistance in constructing the dream home, the builder takes into account every possible element that the person wants to incorporate in the house. After all, at the end of the day, the person has to live there. We, as a responsible home builder, make sure that everything is explained to the buyer in a transparent manner. Trust is inevitable in this industry and we stand by what we are offering them.
  1. Business ethics
We follow business ethics that would explain the way we are performing in the industry. Winning the trust of our customers was a big challenge in the initial period but thanks to our top-notch services, we achieved it gradually.

We assist them the right way to secure a home of their choice.

Business ethics
  1. Modern technologies in construction
Like everything in the world, the technologies in the construction industry too have taken a leap. We have moved up the ladder and adapted to modern construction techniques and technologies like Prefab construction. It allows home buyers to get custom built homes that are designed as per their requirement but sans the long waiting time of construction. Here the modular homes are prefabricated and shipped to the worksite and installed just like a custom built home. Isn’t it a great option to get a custom home constructed within 60-90 days of time? Of course, it is!

Modern technologies in construction
  1. Cost effective
Though we admit that these prefab homes come with a bit high cost than the brick and cement buildings, however, they save a hefty amount that you would have shed towards paying off the cost of labor and raw material purchase, transportation, storage charge etc. It’s a one-time job with no headache later. We understand your budget and being in this industry as reliable custom home builders, we would assist you to obtain easy and suitable home loans from the leading banks associated with us.

Size matters: What square footage is right for you?

Here’s how to calculate the square footage for home plan
            People who buy or build custom homes are more concerned with how much usable space they get and it is only a few people that actually go into the details of the square footage system before the purchase or construction. It is equally essential to know how much square footage is available to you, along with the number of bedrooms, the baths or how big and modern the kitchen is.
Usually, most real estate companies include only the areas within the house that are air-conditioned or heated. This calculation method omits the attic storage, unfinished basements, garage, porches and similar spaces.
The total square footage of a house is not restricted to only the area of all the rooms; it also includes the area that the walls in between them occupy. The area occupied by the walls seems may seem negligible on an individual scale. But, when calculated in whole, it is a considerable amount that adds up the total square footage of the house. Three linear feet of an interior wall becomes one square foot and the thickness of walls would comprise of almost ten percent of the overall square footage of the entire house!

sqr foot
For your home plan, understanding these measurement basics is certainly important, so as to avoid any confusion with the builders during construction or buying of a house. Fire places and small mechanical closets take a tiny portion of the entire space of your home, so they can easily be avoided. Square footage needs to be measured from the outside faces of the outer walls, including the area covered by the stairs. You need to calculate square footage of spaces with a ceiling height beyond seven feet. You don’t have to count areas that open to rooms located down stairs.
You have to bear in mind that the heated square footage is usually used along with a rough estimate of the ‘cost per square foot’ for preliminary cost estimating. It is one factor of construction cost, but not everything that would decide the actual cost of your home. There are additional costs which are unrelated to the size of the house, such as landscaping costs, driveway, and appliances, to name a few.
For rough estimates, construction companies and builders use only the ‘cost per square foot’ system of calculation. They almost avoid signing a legal contract mentioning a particular ‘cost per square foot’ while building a house. In a custom built house, modifications through additions and deletions might happen at any point of time during the construction phase. Therefore, the builders would go broke if they follow the square footage way of planning a home, as there’s no exact way to find out what needs to be ordered for constructing the house and how much labor is required for building the house. Price of the raw materials keeps on varying and that would impact the overall cost of the house irrespective of the square footage.
Imagine you opt for a marble exterior wall rather than a normal wall - the costs would certainly drive up.  If you choose a specific kind of shingle which would require more labor and materials than a normal one, the cost would again be higher than the quoted amount in the planned estimate. This makes the builders quote the square footage cost within a range rather than an exact amount. The cost of the house would also vary depending on the number of bedrooms, sinks, toilets, bathrooms and flooring, roofing material as well as appliances used.

sqr footage
Additional Notes: Make sure that the builder is calculating the square footage for the home plan the same way as you do. Sometimes builders include garage and porch area or some would count garage area as half its square footage. Although it would dilute the overall cost while considering the average per foot cost and make the construction costs seem less, this would make things very confusing. Counting heated square footage would be a solution in this kind of situation, in order to maintain transparency.
