Inspect The Ground
The priority when you have a construction project? Find the ideal plot. Especially keep in mind that the terrain will largely determine the future lines of your house. The drawn sketch will therefore have to adapt to the particularities of your location. An example? The orientation will decide the location of the windows and therefore the living rooms of the house. “The view is another essential element, if it is beautiful we will do everything to ensure that the inhabitants benefit from it, while in case of vis-à-vis, it will on the contrary be necessary to play on the perspectives”, explains the entrepreneur. For summer comfort, this question is especially relevant. Those who like the heat the most will opt for a southwest orientation. The southeast option will be best suited to those looking to avoid summer overheating.
Know Your Family
During your first interview with your builder, he will list your needs and wishes for the future house. But above all, he will try to identify your lifestyle in order to offer you the best suited solutions. The family structure is a first revealing element. The number of children present or to come will give an indication of the number of bedrooms. All families, whether blended or not, require special arrangements from time to time. “For example, for twins who are quite close together, we imagined a room with a removable partition to allow them to stay connected more easily, ” explains Jack Crocker.
Detect your little habits
Outside of your family, it is especially your little habits that will be analyzed. The profession, which occupies a central place in our life, will also play an important part in the conception of your plan. Does one partner work nights? To avoid disturbing the family, it will be necessary to place the bathroom quite far from the bedroom or office. “Rest assured if you dream of a parental suite, we can find solutions by reinforcing the sound insulation of the shower cubicle or by installing the bathroom behind the dressing room to provide a screen ", reveals Crocker. It will be necessary to think of arranging a comfortable room, taking advantage of natural light and with blinds to avoid glare. “If we can, we will move the office away from the living rooms to allow the worker to have a real transition between his place of residence and his workspace", said Jack Crocker.
