A building is made up of different elements, each element has cost attached to it. Like little drops make a mighty ocean, so building elements make up high rise buildings. You can significantly reduce cost of your building with the following tips.

 Engage a builder that is a professional. This ensures you have the desired quality and eliminates time waste which could cost you thousands daily.

·         

 

 Ensure that each element is bought at a great discount. The elements are doors, windows, roofing sheets, ceiling, metal grills, handrails etc. This is important because the elements make up the entire building, once you check the cost of the elements, the building cost drops.

Ask your Architect to have zero maintenance like burnt bricks, tiles, terrazo finish, stone finishes etc, used on your building. This is necessarily to cut down on your building maintenance cost.


Engage good workmen to have your elements done on site. This ensures that the finished materials are of good quality, are flexible, and fit properly. Secondly, designs that are not found in the market are achieved there on site.

           REMEMBER

1) Engage a professional
