House Extensions: How to Keep Within Budget

House extensions give you a wonderful opportunity to make your home bigger and not have to go through the hassle of moving. 

Your Style offers house extensions in Sydney and can give you the dream home you have always wanted. 

When you decide to extend your home, it is always advisable to consider how much you can afford. We have created some tips for keeping your house extension within budget. 

Budget, budget, budget

You need to work out a realistic budget before any building works commence. Some aspects may cost a lot more than you think, so it is important to do your research to make sure you can afford it. 

It is always worth having a contingency fund as well. When building and extending, it can uncover problems that no one knew existed and may cost more than you were expecting. Having a contingency means that you are covered and will not be faced with bills you cannot afford to pay. 

Choose a reputable company

One way you can keep within budget is by working with a professional company who are experienced when it comes to home extensions in Sydney. Your Style has completed many extensions and we know the building world inside out. 

We work with you to design your ideal extension while taking careful consideration of your budget. We know how much different aspects of home improvement cost and we can advise you accordingly. If we do not think that you can do a particular design on your budget, we can help to adjust your plans accordingly. 

It is all in the design

It may go without saying, but the more complicated your design is, the more it is going to cost you. A more straightforward approach is more likely to stay in budget because it will be a simpler job. 

Make sure you plan your design from the beginning. When it comes to making spontaneous decisions further into the process, this will probably end up costing you more money. Working with a company like Your Style can help because we can advise you on all the different parts of your project that will need careful consideration. From those small decisions like where to place your electric sockets, planning it in advance can save you money. 

Also, if you go for standard fittings, you will spend less money than more bespoke options.

Keep to your design       

Once you and your builder have chosen an agreed design, make sure you keep with it. When people change their mind about the design, it costs money every time this happens.
