5 Reasons to Hire a Home Designer
When building a home from the ground up, some might prefer to cut costs by skipping the home designer and doing the project themselves. While this certainly is one way to save money, homeowners may not realize the depth and breadth of home design and everything such a large-scale project entails.
While we personally would recommend hiring one of the seasoned home designers in our Oklahoma offices, we realize we are biased. That’s why we’ve compiled this list of the top 5 reasons why it’s best to hire a home designer when building a new construction home.
LESS STRESS
Hiring a home designer will alleviate some of the stress of managing your new construction home build. Your home designer is experienced and has undergone the process of building a home from scratch countless times.
Similar to hiring a lawyer to navigate legal processes, your home builder will be your liaison to the construction and building worlds. Your home designer can guide you through each process in the quickest, easiest, and most cost-effective way possible.
SAVE TIME
Your home designer will help you save time on your home build by handling many processes personally. They’ll prepare blueprints, elevations, and other diagrams to help your builders understand your exact vision so they can build and install your materials correctly the first time.
Your home design professional also understands the process of procuring lot and building permits and can help you initiate the groundwork required to begin breaking ground on your new construction home or neighborhood development. This expertise will save you countless hours.
AVOID COSTLY MISTAKES
You can avoid costly mistakes by hiring an experienced home designer. Your home designer has thought of everything and intimately understands the process of home design and new construction builds.
Your design professional will draw up building plans, blueprints, electrical and plumbing plans, and other documents that will help you save money. They’ll also understand building materials and they can provide you cost-efficient options that can help you stay within your budget. It’s not about cutting corners, it’s about using your resources intelligently.
CONNECTIONS TO RESOURCES AND SAVINGS
Your home designer has developed connections with builders and contractors over the years and manages the building project effectively by hiring professionals that they trust to do the best quality job.
Since they are established in the building industry, your home builder could potentially pass their industry discounts and savings on to you. Additionally, they’ll know exactly where to source bulk and discounted materials to help you meet your budget.
INCREASED HOME VALUE
You’ll immediately increase your home’s value just by hiring a home designer. Your home will look professionally finished and designed with current industry trends in mind to help maximize your resell potential. Your home designer can suggest state-of-the-art features and other luxury options that will increase your quality of life while you live in the home and create a home that is attractive to buyers when it comes time to sell.
Finding a home designer who understands your vision and communicates with you readily is key to building the home you’ve been dreaming of.
