How much should I budget for my home?
Budget from built-up area, structural requirements, finishes, approvals, and a sensible contingency—not only a headline per-square-foot rate.
How long will construction take?
A typical independent G+1 home often needs 9–14 months depending on design, approvals, weather, and finish complexity.
Can I modify plans during construction?
Yes, but late changes affect structure, cost, and time. Freeze key decisions before each stage starts.
Which materials should I never compromise on?
Structure, waterproofing, plumbing, wiring, and concealed systems deserve priority because repairs are disruptive.
How often should I visit my site?
Visit at defined milestones and rely on documented professional inspections between visits.
