Knowledge and understanding is key again

My advice to you, if you don’t understand the building process, and it is an involved and a complicated thing, DON’T SIGN ANY CONTRACT OR APPOINT ANY ONE.  Be careful of any one who claims to be able to project manage or have done a bit of building –  actually run away!

Don’t appoint anyone to design or draw plans. Especially not if he is family, friends of the family, a member of your church, bowls, golf or any club, before you really understand the process.

Remember these things I refer to above will cost you a huge amount of money, time and potentially frustration, in worst case scenario’s heart attacks and strokes. The point I am so laboriously trying to make is – Understand the total and holistic implication of building your home.

Be very scared of these these words: “ WHAT IS YOUR COST PER SQUARE METER”  I mean really, do you go into a car dealership and ask the salesman, “How much is the red Mercedes per square meter”. Duh.

This is how scary this building thing is:

But I have simplified it a bit. (Remember lines are open now if you have any questions, LOL. Contact details in my website).
