How Home Projects Waste Money Before Work Starts
Are you spending money before your project has even begun?
The assumption is that the sooner works start on site, the sooner the project is finished. In reality, a premature start is one of the fastest ways to waste significant money.
We cover where the real pre-construction money traps are, from missing permissions and party wall awards to CIL charges, overcomplicated building management systems, and the VAT savings most homeowners never know to ask about.
We also look at why cutting corners on fees and structural elements almost always costs far more than it saves.
The right advice before a spade goes in the ground is not a cost. Getting it wrong almost certainly is.
