BuildIt Home · Your plans
Building, finishing or renovating?
Finding land and finishing a house call for different preparation. Choose the option that fits your plans to see the questions and tasks ahead.
These are examples. In Home, the guidance will depend on your answers and what you’ve already done. Discuss any checks and decisions with a qualified professional.
I am building a new house
You might have an idea for a house, or you might already have a plot and a design in progress. Home will ask how far you’ve got and show you relevant tasks.
Questions to start with
- Who will live in the house, and which rooms will you need?
- Are you still looking for land, or do you have a plot?
- Do you have a design and building permit?
- What budget and timing do you have in mind? What help will you need?
A place to start
You’re still looking for land
Before choosing a plot, describe the house you want. This will help you compare sites and explain your needs to an architect.
- List the rooms you’ll need.
- Decide what’s essential and where you’re willing to compromise.
- Write down what’s missing from your current home that you’d like in the new one.
What might come next
