Pin Down Your Home's Ultimate Priority

 

First things first, consider your key focus: design, budget, or timeline. Typically, one or two of these aspects take center stage. Do you crave a chic design within a modest budget? Is time of the essence, and you need your sanctuary pronto? Maybe you dream of an eco-friendly haven and have the funds to bring that vision to fruition?

Determining your space requirements is crucial. It's the linchpin to estimating costs accurately. If you're scratching your head about where to begin, here's a handy rule of thumb using 8’x40’ high cube containers (equivalent to 320 square feet each):
- Two containers for a comfortable 1 bed/1 bath space.
- Three containers for a cozy 2 bed/1-2 bath layout.
- Four containers recommended for a spacious 3 bed/2-3 bath setup.
- Add more containers or mix with traditional construction for expansive areas.

 Secure Your Plot of Land

 

Avoid unnecessary expenses by securing your land before delving into the design phase. It’s a strategic move to prevent redesign hassles if the intended site doesn't pan out. In certain cases, especially with Land Bank lots, an initial design might be necessary for the land purchase. In such situations, our tailored Initial Design Package is your perfect solution.
