Remove the weight from the build

As a design and build principle, if you take weight out of buildings then you will reduce cost.  That is a broad principle and lots more factors play into it, but essentially that is a rule that should be adopted from the outset right from the design stage.   At yourBuildPlans we will introduce this concept as an option for any relevant Home Extension.

For example, using a lightweight block system with a brick slip cladding system will look exactly like a traditional brick and block build but as the weight of the materials used is reduced the build is much, much quicker.  This saves on build time and labour costs.  Using such systems can also save additional costs on machinery and lifting gear.
