Navigating the Non-Negotiable

When building your first home as a couple

it’s crucial to determine your non-negotiable home inclusions from the start.

At Zircon Living, we understand the importance of prioritizing your needs and staying within your budget. Here are expert tips to guide you in creating a dream home that meets your desires and requirements in Perth.

Preparing

Building a home can feel overwhelming, but by identifying your non-negotiables, you can ensure that your essential elements are included in the initial costing. This step is vital as it can be challenging to add or modify features once the builder has consolidated your quote.

Before your initial Pre-Start meeting, it is important to fill out a design brief to work out what you desire and require from a designer. To make the process easier, we recommend that you and your partner each select three non-negotiables—features that you both agree are your highest priorities and will not compromise on. This approach fosters open and constructive discussions while allowing room for compromise on less essential elements.

Wants and Needs

The non-negotiable play an equal part in the build journey as it enables each person to have something that they love in the build and minimises part of the couple feeling isolated through the design period. When we talk about the wants and needs of what each person requires, it’s useful to discuss and compromise.

By thoroughly considering what truly matters to you, your priorities and opinions will be heard and integrated into the design and construction process. Our team of experienced designers, architects, and builders at Zircon Living will work closely with you to ensure that your non-negotiable home inclusions are seamlessly incorporated while staying within your budget.

Examples of some possible non-negotiables are:

Television Sizes
How often do you watch?

Kitchen Appliances
One oven or two?

Bathroom Features
Double Vanity? One
showerhead or two?
