What is your dream custom home like? Here’s how to determine needs vs. wants.
Devising a custom home plan suited to your needs and taste can be a monumental task. You can create a home however you want, usually based on a customizable floor plan template available through a custom home builder. With infinite design possibilities, you might need to determine your custom home needs vs. wants.
Make a List
You could include a small swimming pool, a sauna, a theater room, a home gym, a man cave, and much more in your home; you think of many ideas that are exciting. However, you probably can’t have them all. It helps to prioritize your custom home needs vs. wants in a handy list.
Have all your family members make a list of their wants and must-haves. Compare and contrast lists and come up with a happy medium of what rooms and amenities you need and what you want.
Measurement: Your Lifestyle
How do you know what you need in a home? You will have at least two measurements, and one of them is your lifestyle. You will need to fulfill basic needs, such as eating, bathing, and sleeping. Your must-haves start with a kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom. You will next determine how many bathrooms and bedrooms you will need.
After that, you can think of what other purposes your house will need to fulfill. For example, will you need easy access to different floors? A home elevator might be a must-have. Will you need a place for at-home work or business, such as a home office or studio? Put those needs on the list. Don’t forget other common rooms, such as the living room and family room.
Measurement: Your Budget
You can have many other amenities and rooms in your home, such as a home gym, sauna, etc. Will your budget allow it? Set your budget in place first before proceeding to make your list. Shore-Line Construction can help you calculate the cost of your home along with any of the wishlist items you have.
