6 Key Considerations for Starting Your Home Building Journey with Tron Homes

The path to constructing your dream home is an adventure filled with crucial decisions and planning. Tron Homes is here to guide you through this process with six essential considerations, ensuring a smooth and informed home-building experience.


  1. Obtaining Required Approvals:

Before the first brick is laid, it's essential to secure all necessary building approvals and permits. This includes planning permissions, building regulations approval, and environmental clearances. Adhering to these legal requirements ensures your project proceeds without legal hitches.


  2. Navigating FAR/FSI:

The Floor Area Ratio (FAR) or Floor Space Index (FSI) plays a pivotal role in your construction plan. For instance, a FAR of 1.5 means you can build up to 1500 square feet on a 1000 square feet plot. Understanding FAR helps in optimising your design and maximising your space effectively.


3. Budgeting for Construction:

A realistic budget for your dream home typically involves allocating around 15% for design, 25% for labour, and 60% for materials. Accurate budgeting is key to managing your finances effectively throughout the construction process.  


  4. Understanding Material Costs:

Materials usually account for a significant portion of your budget. Break it down into structural components like RCC (40%) and finishing costs (60%), which includes aspects like joinery, fittings, and decorations. A clear understanding of these costs enables smarter, cost-effective choices.



  5. Selecting Quality Materials:

The durability and quality of your home depend largely on the materials used. Consider eco-friendly and sustainable options, like using recycled steel for structural work, which offers both environmental and durability benefits.


  6. Efficient Cash Flow Management:

A well-planned construction schedule can streamline your cash flow. For instance, the initial phase of laying the foundation and erecting the basic structure might take around 45 days, followed by interior and finishing work requiring an additional 40 days. This foresight helps in planning your expenses and ensures a steady flow of funds.


Embarking on a home-building journey is a milestone filled with important decisions.

With our advice and your vision, we can collaboratively ensure that the journey to your dream home is as fulfilling as the destination itself.
