Home Construction: Cost-Cutting Can Backfire

Home buying is one of the biggest decision one takes in his life. Right from starting a plan to arranging finances and finally making a choice, endless family discussions go in. Each and every aspect is well thought out, discussed over till the last moment and then carefully executed. The reason is simple enough, there is so much at stake, both monetarily and emotionally that you don’t want to make a bad choice and regret.

Moreover, those who choose to build their own Noida property, this discussion and charade doesn't end till the end. Even at the housewarming, you may find the couple arguing over something or the other. And if something is wrong, they will be busy deciding whose fault it was. However, disagreement over wall paint is one thing, but overlooking other nuances can be grave.

It is often seen that people building their homes tend to get into cost cutting. It’s not bad to save an extra dime, but cross check what aspect is being sacrificed for it. People make some common mistakes while building Noida property; make sure you stay away from such pitfalls.

First mistake that people make is to concentrate on curb appeal rather than strength and structure of the house. Deck-ups and knick-knacks can always be added, and there is almost always a scope for home improvement, but structural aspects such as the depth of foundation, elevation of house, type of cement and beams used and so on, are a one-time affair. And if you happen to make a careless choice, the consequential repairs can be exorbitant and out of hands.

You should take lead from the builder flats in Noida. Use standard high tensile strength material as used by them as Noida is a seismically active zone; earthquakes are a fair probability. Research over the net and hire an architect. If architect is too much of a cost for you, make sure you consult someone savvier and do your research before commencing construction.  Take note of the electric fittings, plumbing, drainage, and the building material being used. Choose the best lot available by industry norms and never compromise on these aspects.
