It’s true to say planning is one of the most underrated ways of achieving something you want in life. Always plan for anything you can’t afford instantly. This type of tradition also applies to owning a house. Anyone who wants to build a house must start by planning before saving or investing towards it. Your goal can only be fulfilled in such a way. Don’t be bothered by what you earn, you just need to believe in yourself if you really want to make it happen. Here are five easy tips of building a permanent house on a very tight budget.

1.After planning, saving is the next step

You will probably fail if you wait until you get the exact estimated cost at hand to start building your own house. Save and invest your cash, it doesn’t matter how much you are saving as long as your reach your goal.

2.Buy Materials one at a time

The most important things in a construction project is the building materials. The materials play a vital role in a construction process. I have to admit that building materials are expensive so you have to buy one at a time to reduce the load and the expense. You need to buy what you can afford before finding yourself with almost what you need without even knowing. Buy them when you can, you can even buy them on a hire purchase.

3.Build Smaller

There is no where written that you must own a big mansion. Build what you can afford, a small house needs less materials lowering the total cost of the house. I will advise you to build a two bedroom house with your own savings than building a three or four bedroom house with a loan that will leave you financially drained.

4.Own Labour

When you ask your friends about the part that takes the large amount of money when building most will definitely tell you that labour does. You should get yourself involved to reduce expenses. Your friends and family members can offer you a helping hand. They can help you in digging foundation & offloading building materials among others.

5.Be Involved In The Building Process

It’s always important to be present in every stage of construction. This won’t give employees a chance of inflating the cost of building materials. Don’t allow yourself be a milking cow to your workers, be smart enough. Materials should be bought in your presence to avoid the unnecessary costs that may raise the overall cost of building a house.
