Why design flexibility matters

When you’re building a new home, you are starting from scratch – no-one else has ever lived there. So, it’s the perfect opportunity to make it completely your own to suit all your needs and family situation. The floorplan is your blueprint of your future home and very important in the building process. 

These days no two homes on a street need to look the same, like they did in the past, you can tailor your home to your personality. 

Here are our top tips you should consider when it comes to deciding on your new home floorplan. 

Do your research
Take the time to work out exactly what you need in your home, taking inspiration from websites and Pinterest where there’s a hive of information and style ideas .
Talk to other people who have built new and ask how they went about researching their homes. A well planned, space-efficient design will ensure you have a highly functional home. 
Finally, speak with your New Home Consultant about your particular needs, there may be a design similar to what you want to include that can be adapted to your specific needs.

Consider your individual situation 
You’ll be living in your home for a long time, look to what you will need a few years in like future family expansion, or do you have interests that will require more space? 
Perhaps you need a home office or a study nook for homework or working from home.
Ask yourself lots of question about what you need to consider, taking into consideration your lifestyle.
Remember, some design elements could go out of date, so something classic will stand the test of time.

Ask questions and seek expert support
