Building your own home in Zimbabwe is a major undertaking and there are many things to consider so here are our best tips for building a house. 

It is vital to plan out both the house plan and your finances. You should understand exactly what you are getting into before you even think about starting the construction process. And who you work with is even more vital. Choosing the right general contractor and architect will make all the difference.

But it will also be stressful and overwhelming at times. You will worry about budget and schedules and you'll have more decisions than you ever imagined. You may miss deadlines and need to spend some of your contingency budgets when costs overrun, but if you're prepared for that it will be less stressful. 

Some Building Tips To Remember In Your Next Building Project in Zimbabwe

The thing to remember is that at the end of the home building process you will have an amazing dream home, designed and built just for you and your family.

So Here Are Some Tips You Must Never Ever Forget When Building:

1. THE CORRECT CEMENT: Cement comes in different textures and mixes. There is cement for concrete and cement for building and cement mixtures for plastering. Even with plastering the plastering for inside the house uses less cement than the one for outside. I will avoid too much detail so we keep the information basic. Some builders will compromise here but you must not. In certain regions or areas such as swampland we must use more wheelbarrows of cement or less wheelbarrows of sand. So the mixture can be four wheelbarrows of sand to one 50Kg bag of cement. To avoid seemingly promoting a particular cement brand I suggest you do a bit of research.
2. TERMITES KILLER OR TERMIDITE: If you and I forget or ignore to “disinfect” your ground against termites correctly they will come back. My earlier building projects did not go as planned. We bought cheap of counterfeit termidite. We are still regretting. In some cases the builders we had then store the termite killer. Never forget this.
3. CUTTING YOUR CLOTH ACCORDING TO SIZE: If your plan is to build a four bedrooms house but your budget is currently for a one bedroom house, then start building the same four bedrooms house but with one room at a time. There is a way to do this. Blocks are like clothing; they can be “stitched” together.
4. BUILDING IS VERY ADDICTIVE, BE CAREFUL WITH BUILDING: You may sell your wife to buy a door frame. It is ok to take a break and raise funds or just recompose yourself. Without the discipline to control this addiction building can destroy a good thing.
5. DON'T DO SHORTCUTS: In trying to save money and manage the project you will be tempted to cut corners. Never. It’s better a slow project coming up well than a quick project with violating standards. Brickforce wire, conforce wire, ring beam, etc. these and essential components in building.

I just came to remind you that you are doing well. Don’t stop. Don’t be derailed even by yourself. In case you have not started yet by all means start planning and implementing. 

When time permits as it almost always does, your day in the limelight is coming.
