DIY GUIDE (BUY TO BUILD GUIDE)

Imagine building the home you have always wanted.  A home you have personally designed. You will have ideas in your head, you may have rough outlines on paper but you will need the services of a good architect for these to come to fruition. Without the blueprints you won’t get the necessary planning permission. You wouldn’t reset your broken leg without a doctor, or take out an aching tooth without a dentist, so it stands to reason, you need a professional who knows about building houses. You need the knowledge of a professional. You may of course use a UK architect, or one from another EU country but it makes sense to use someone with knowledge of local conditions, rules and regulations. Fees for a local architect would include the blueprint (fees calculated per square metre of the building) and supervision of the project from beginning to end. Kalkan Horizon Exclusives Property Services will find you an accredited architect who will work closely with you and listen to your ideas for your new home.

This price also includes final plans and copies which are necessary for approval by the Chamber of Architects and to allow you your building permit. Your architect will also include in his fees building specifications, ie. concrete used, size of pipes and types of materials used in the building of the property. Of course you will choose your own tiles and placement of internal building, cupboards etc.

Kalkan Horizon Exclusives Property Services will also help you find a builder. There are many, and low price does not necessarily signify good or bad building work, just as high prices do not signify high standards. Ask to see examples of your builders work, see if he has good commissions. See is he has a waiting list.

Prices will be negotiated with a builder and these should include building specifications, ground preparation and clearing up after the work is done. Kalkan Horizon Exclusives Property services will help with these negotiations. Registration of your property will be taken care of by your lawyer or by Kalkan Horizon Exclusives Property Services and you will be the proud owner of your dream house.
