Buying a stand is exciting, but it's also one of the biggest decisions you'll make before building your home. ๐ก
It's easy to focus on the location or the view, but there are a few practical things that can have a real impact on your build.
โ๏ธ Sunlight
Think about where your living areas and patio will be. The orientation of your home affects natural light, comfort and even energy efficiency.
๐ Building lines
The size of the stand isn't the whole story. Municipal building lines determine where you're actually allowed to build, which can influence your floor plan.
๐ Slope
A sloping stand may require retaining walls, additional earthworks or engineered foundations. It's worth understanding these costs upfront.
๐ฐ Services
Water, sewer, stormwater and electrical connections all play a role in the design and cost of your project.
๐ก Think five years ahead
Will you eventually want a bigger garage, a pool, or more space for entertaining? Choose a stand that gives you room to grow.
A good build starts long before construction begins. Taking the time to ask the right questions now can make the entire building journey a lot smoother.
Which of these do you think is most often overlooked? ๐
