Mistakes to Avoid When Building a New Home

mistake 5Under-Utilized Rooms

This again comes down to thinking

long and hard about your life style and what is important to you. The addition of a playroom, game room or multipurpose room sounds enticing, but only plan to build a room that will actually get used. Remember every square footage costs money to plan, build and heat/cool. Do you need a wine cellar and tasting room if you do not even drink wine? What good is a wasted home gym where the treadmill is used to hold clothes from last season? Often an unused room becomes a dumping ground to place those things that never get used. If you plan on adding a spare room, make sure that it is a room that can transition well from one type to the next. A sewing room may never get used, but a sewing room or office that also doubles as a guest room could indeed get used often.
