5 Mistakes Often Made When Building Your Own Home

Building your own house without involving a contractor can indeed save costs, but it is not without risk. Many people who are tempted by cheap prices end up with results that are not as expected. Here are five common mistakes that often occur when building your own house:

1. Not Having a Clear Budget Plan
The first mistake is not preparing a detailed Budget Plan (RAB). As a result, expenses become uncontrolled and construction often stops in the middle of the road.

2. Choosing the Wrong Material
Many people choose materials based on cheap prices, not quality. In fact, poor materials can cause buildings to quickly deteriorate, crack, and even collapse in a short time.

3. Not Using Experts
Entrusting construction to a builder without direction from an architect or structural engineer can result in a haphazard design and an unsafe structure.

4. Ignore Permits and Regulations
Many people consider building permits (IMB) unimportant. In fact, if you don't take care of it from the start, the building could be considered illegal and fined or even demolished.

5. Not Paying Attention to Drainage and Ventilation
Poor drainage and minimal ventilation make the house quickly damp, stuffy, and uncomfortable to live in. This can also have an impact on the health of the occupants of the house.
