7 Ways to Create Buildings that are Worth More

1)  Keep the design simple, standard and under 8m to the eave and less than 24m span (if possible).

2)  Design the operation first and the building second.

3)  Make sure that the land has permission for change of use BEFORE you buy it.  The conveyance may not reveal this.

4)  Never accept only one valuation.  They can vary by up to 50% more than you expect.

5)  Think about traffic flow and volumes.  The Local Authority will not let you block arterial connections.

6)  The slab is not the foundation.  Its thickness and make up are very important, more important than the building.

7)  The most important and valuable aspect is the space you create.  The more flexible it is, the more appeal it will have and the greater the value.

Thought for the Day

“It is unwise to pay too much, but it is unwise to pay too little.  When you pay too much you lose a little money, that is all.  When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the item you bought was incapable of doing what you bought it to do.

The common law of business balance prohibits payng a little and getting a lot.  It cannot be done  If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is as well to add somthing for the risk you run.  And if you do that, you will have enough to pay for something better”

John Ruskin (1819-1900)
