Plan smarter
Five ways to keep your budget on track
- 01
Keep Basic as the base
Use Basic finishes across bedrooms and the hall as your starting point, then add upgrades only where they earn their cost.
- 02
Pick one kitchen upgrade
Choose the upgrade that matches how you cook, such as drawers or a pantry unit.
- 03
Add lofts before decor
Spend on overhead storage before decorative panels or ceilings.
- 04
Use standard sizes
Standard module sizes cost less to produce and are easier to repair or replace in a few years.
- 05
Plan a later phase
List extras like ceilings and wall panels for a second phase.
