New Home Design – How To Write A Comprehensive Brief

Before you sit down with your builder it’s important to be clear about what it is you want in your new home design. There is lots to think about when it comes to choosing the right new home design and this is where some of life’s big decisions come into play. You need to spend some time thinking about both your current and future lifestyle, as this helps with things like how many bedrooms and bathrooms you need. Let’s look at what questions you need to ask yourself before briefing your builder.

By completing the checklist above, you will have a much clearer idea of exactly what you want to be included in your new home to match your lifestyle and the needs of your family. There is nothing more essential when starting the process of engaging new builders for quotes than to have a clear brief.  Your new home design needs to reflect not only your personality but also include all the functional aspects of your new house that will make living in it a delight.
