Hopefully my plans will be approved one day, so I am planning on trying to save costs where I can. I know there are several things that are cheaper to install without going through the builder. Can anyone suggest some that i have missed?
Can anyone offer any advice on whether they organised some of their own trades, and how it went? Did it save you money? Was it easy? Would you do it again?
I have been personally recommended to organise the AC and painting myself as the savings were in the thousands. (I am an active person and can paint okay).
- Interior Paint
- Air conditioning (split systems in my case)
- Data Cabling (if necessary)
- Landscaping
- Flooring
- Skirting boards
- Paving? (not sure about this)
