As a leader in custom built homes in Geelong, Enso Homes can help you every step of the way, in bringing your dream home to life. Let\u2019s go through five things to avoid when building a custom home.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Overpriced Locations<\/h2>\n

Location is key, whether you\u2019re buying new or working on a custom home design Geelong. While you want to choose the ideal spot for you and your family, you also don\u2019t want to pay a grossly inflated price for an overcrowded area that isn\u2019t worth that much. Lot size and proximity to local schools, shops, and parks, are important considerations for custom homes Geelong.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Design Above Function<\/h2>\n

There\u2019s an adage that form follows function, however, it\u2019s easy to get caught up in innovative interior design. Before you know it, you might be going overboard with design elements that don\u2019t really work for your everyday life. Remember to take a step back and look at custom\u00a0<\/span>homes Geelong<\/span><\/a>\u00a0with common sense, as functionality should override aesthetic.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Second-Guessing Yourself<\/h2>\n

The custom design and build process is exciting, although it can also be overwhelming, especially if it’s your first time. It’s best to go with your gut, make informed decisions and stick with them. Having too many opinions doesn’t help either. Try to stick to a core team of decision makers such as you, your partner, and an interior designer, if you have one.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Short-Term Fads<\/h2>\n

You may be interested in a home design trend right now, but will it last 5 or 10 years down the road? There’s no way to know for certain, but when in doubt it’s better to lean toward more neutral options, rather than a cutting-edge design. This way, you\u2019ll find the best custom homes Geelong has to offer, that will last in both aesthetic and function. Neutral colours always stand the test of time, while bright colours, hardware styles, or roof designs could eventually date your construction project, if the fad goes out of style.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Inexperienced Team<\/b><\/h2>\n

Finally, not going with the right builder is another thing to avoid, when considering new\u00a0<\/span>custom built homes Geelong<\/span><\/a>. You need a trusted team with a professional approach and an outstanding reputation in the local community. Don’t settle for anything less than the best, when building your family’s dream home!<\/span><\/p>\n
