Thinking of Designing Your New Home First? Here's What You Need to Know

Picture this: You've spent months working with an architect to design your new home. The plans look amazing!

But when you finally show them to builders, you discover the cost to build is way beyond your budget. Sound familiar? This scenario plays out far too often in Adelaide.

The Hidden Challenge

Many Adelaide families naturally start their building journey with an architect. After all, you need plans before you can build, right? Not quite. This common approach often leads to designs that exceed budgets, costly redesigns, and unnecessary stress and delays.

Understanding the Professional Roles

Think of building your home like creating a masterpiece. Architects are like artists - they craft beautiful spaces, translate your vision into designs, and focus on aesthetics and functionality.

Builders, on the other hand, are like master craftsmen. They bring deep knowledge of current material costs, construction timelines, and established relationships with suppliers. Most importantly, they understand how to manage the entire building process efficiently.

Why Starting with Design Can Be Costly

Architects excel at design, but they're not expected to know everything about construction costs and logistics. It would be like asking a chef to predict grocery prices six months ahead - it's simply not their role!
