5 Mistakes to Avoid When Building Your New Home
Building a new home in Lexington should feel exciting, not overwhelming. At Hart Construction, we guide you through every phase so your custom home reflects your lifestyle, priorities, and personal style. Here are some common mistakes to avoid when starting a new renovation.
1. Skipping the Pre-Construction Process
Taking time to create a detailed plan is a vital step. Without one, you may run into delays, overspending, and miscommunication. At Hart, our pre-construction agreement helps clarify budget, scope, and design before any work begins to ensure a smooth process.
2. Designing for Pinterest Instead of Real Life
Trends are inspiring, but your home should be built for how you actually live. We’ll help translate your inspiration into a home that works for everyday life and reflects your style throughout.
3. Designing in Isolation
Your home should feel thoughtful from room to room. We consider how spaces connect, like how your kitchen opens to the living area or how indoor spaces lead to the porch, so the layout feels natural and tied together.
4. Ignoring Natural Light
Natural light makes a big impact on how your home feels. We help you think through window placement and lighting choices to keep each space bright and balanced.
5. Settling for the Wrong Builder
You deserve a builder who values your input. We offer clear communication, expert guidance, and regular updates so you feel confident every step of the way.
