Design Economy:

Ensure that the architect designing the plan for your house focuses on essentials such as the sitting, dining room(s) and kitchen. Areas such as laundry, extra family lounge, etc are not necessities and can be omitted.

The sizes of the house also must be appropriate because the bigger a house or an apartment the more the cost of construction. For example, in order to achieve low income house, a 3 bedroom house should not be occupying more than between 80 -90sqm.

Use Professionals for each aspect of the project:

The key to the success of low cost housing strategy is to use professionals for each aspect of the project.

One of the ways people lose money when they are building their houses is by enlisting the services of quacks in place of professionals. You can negotiate a professional’s fee rather than avoiding his services altogether.

To get quality job done on your project, you will have to look for very good workmen and ensure they have quality supervision. Do not use a bricklaying expert to supervise roofing otherwise; you may end up with shoddy job.

Finally, do regular monitoring and supervision of your low cost housing project. That will help you to save money you could have lost to labourers and artisans.
