Introduction
Building your dream home is exciting, but it can quickly turn stressful if you fall into common construction pitfalls.
At Archs and Bricks, we’ve seen it all. Here are the top 5 mistakes to avoid.
1. Not Finalizing Architectural Drawings First
Jumping into construction without complete, approved drawings can cause delays, legal issues, and costly rework.
2. Ignoring Soil Testing
Many new homeowners skip geotechnical testing, leading to poor foundation design. Always test the soil before finalizing structural plans.
3. Choosing the Cheapest Contractor
Cheap isn’t always cost-effective. Inexperienced or unqualified contractors may cut corners on materials and labor.
4. Delayed Material Decisions
Not choosing tiles, paint, fittings, or woodwork on time can stall construction. Plan your selections early.
5. No Proper Site Supervision
Without an experienced site supervisor, quality suffers. Always ensure continuous technical oversight.
Conclusion
Construction success lies in planning, the right partners, and avoiding shortcuts.
At Archs and Bricks, we guide you through each step with expertise and transparency.
