Building a new home and encountering unexpected design changes can be daunting, but being prepared can make all the difference. I'm Tony Alonso from AV Architects and Builders, and today, I'll guide you through handling design changes effectively during the construction phase of your new home.


Navigating Design Changes in Home Construction Even with meticulous planning, changes during construction are sometimes necessary. Whether it’s adjusting window placements or updating your electrical setup, knowing how to manage these changes can save you time and money. Here’s a breakdown of critical stages where you can still influence your home’s design with minimal cost impact:

⦿ Pre-Drywall Walkthrough: Before the drywall goes up, conduct a thorough walkthrough to finalize major structural and utility placements. This is your last chance to make significant changes without substantial costs.

⦿ Electrical Walkthrough: Customize your electrical systems, such as switch and outlet placements, and consider integrating smart home features like motorized blinds and security systems at this stage for ease and efficiency.

⦿ Punch List Phase: Utilize the punch list phase to make final adjustments or add enhancements like built-ins or floor color changes. It’s your final opportunity to refine details before completion.


Why Early Planning Matters The most cost-effective time to make design changes is during the initial design phases. Early adjustments in the concept stage or during design development help avoid disruptions once construction begins. By choosing a design-build firm like AV Architects and Builders, you ensure a streamlined process that minimally impacts your project’s timeline and budget.


Key Takeaways:
⦿ Utilize scheduled walkthroughs to make informed decisions.
⦿ Communicate effectively with your builder to ensure your vision is accurately realized.
⦿ Leverage the expertise of a design-build team to reduce miscommunications and manage changes efficiently.
