Bristol new builds are being constructed in all areas of the city. From luxury by the harbourside to more modest apartments in the Temple Meads quarter, you will be spoiled for choice when searching for a new property to buy in the city. There is however one alternative to discovering the different areas and viewing properties, and that is a design and build. Purchasing a plot of land to have your very own bespoke build constructed on has many advantages. Read on to find out what they are.
Bristol New Builds : The Growing Trend in Design and Build
If you are considering a design and build, you will be planning a home not a house. By this we mean a home where you intend to live for some years. You will be in search of a home that will meet all your requirements and expectations to a tee. Design and builds are growing in popularity, and when you think them through carefully, you will never have trouble reselling, should the time arise.
Bristol New Builds: Let your Personality Shine Out
Having a home built to your exact specifications means you can put your own stamp on things. Your home will have its own character and personality, and it will be 100% unique. Having a home tailor-made to suit your needs is the dream of many. It is so much more fulfilling than buying off-plan or from a housing estate. Not only will your personality shine through, you will be in control. This means that you will choose the quality of materials. For quality of workmanship, BBN have got it covered.
Knowing that your property has never been touched by anyone is also very important for many people. That “new home smell” is not something that you can ever recreate. Unlike a characterless new build on a housing estate in the city, a bespoke design and build will allow you to incorporate all the touches that you have only ever dreamed of before.
Bristol New Builds : Your Input Counts
When you are having a home designed and built, your input counts. You can put in as much as you want to the design, or you can opt for a full service from our new build experts who will take care of everything for you. When you opt for a full service, you will still be able to decide exactly what you want and where. The difference will be that you will not need to enlist an architect or apply for planning permission; all this will be done for you. Even your interior design can be handled for you, with the help of an expert to guide you with your choices and decisions.
Quality
When you opt for a design and build, you will get the best quality. All workmen will be vetted first, and all tradesmen will be of the highest caliber, just like your fittings and fixtures. This quality obviously comes at a higher price than buying off-plan, but really is worth the money you will pay. At the end of the process, you will have your dream home, and nothing will be in the wrong place. You will never have to wish that your kitchen cabinets were at a different height, or that you really opted for a free standing bath tub. Everything will be exactly as you wanted, and everything will be perfect. So, if everything will be perfect, are there actually any disadvantages of opting for a design and build?
Price and Time Span
The most obvious downside to having a bespoke home built for you is the price. However, as you are in control, you should be able to stick to your budget with no problems. Having a site manager sourced by BBN will also ensure that everything goes like clockwork and that no loose links in the supply chain will develop.
If you are hoping to move into your home quickly, then you may need to rethink your design and build. Building a perfect home takes time, and rushing things along will mean compromising on quality. If your current home is sold, then you have a few options open to. One is to rent a property while the work is carried out, and another is to actually live onsite. Living onsite in an eco-home such as a log cabin that can be delivered to you will allow you to really have control over what’s going on. You will able to watch your home being built too. But, unless you like getting muddy shoes and noise, perhaps a rental property nearby would be a better choice!
