Budget Friendly House Styles

1. Budget Friendly House Styles

2. While it’s obvious that building a sprawling mansion is going to cost more than a smaller, more traditional home, if you’re looking for budget friendly house styles for your next construction project, you might be pleasantly surprised to know that there are several: A-frames Typically, A-frame houses are built with an open concept, and have lofts instead of closed bedrooms. For the many millions of Americans living in cold climates, this style of home is perfect for preventing the need to shovel snow piles off your roof, and they’re pretty cheap to build. Naturally, the larger you make your A-frame building, the more it will cost, but if you opt for a smaller one, you can get it built on a seriously low budget.

3. Petite properties It goes without saying that the smaller the house you build, the less it will cost; with less materials, less labor costs and potentially no foundation, a petite property could be perfect as your first home, or if you’re retired and no longer need so much space. And sometimes, less really is more when it comes to building your own home. Why have 4 bedrooms if you don’t need them, and why make every room so big when there’s just the two of you at home, or you live alone? Nothing says that your small home has to be basic either, it can have fancy additions and plenty of creative space; imagination is key with smaller homes, and making them petite but functional, is paramount.

4. Fixer-uppers Buying a rundown property with a cheap price tag to revamp or renovate, can be a great idea, provided you get it thoroughly inspected by a professional before you buy it. Neglect to do this, and you could be faced with unforeseen costs further down the line, making your fixer-upper, more of an expenditure than a bargain. Keep an eye out for the following things when buying a home to fix up: • Pay attention to any cracked or dilapidated foundations • Look out for a home with good utilities to save on the cost of hooking up electric and septic

5. Remember that the roof, windows and siding can be fixed relatively easily and at a low cost, so if the property looks a little rough on the exterior, but is otherwise relatively sound internally, this needn’t be too much of an issue Finding the right construction company to help you build your home can also help your budget; they’ll get the job done right the first time around and will build you a home that will last for generations, saving you money on future repairs.
