At Materials In The Raw, we're passionate about landscaping and building! People often wonder about the best time of year to start building a new home construction. Here in Australia, our mild weather patterns enable us to build almost year-round. However, there are a few key advantages to starting a new building project in the spring months as opposed to other times of the year. Here are three reasons to start building your home in the spring.  

 1.          Get a head start on the building rush.

Summer is typically the busiest time of year for home builders and contractors, and the later you start, the more likely it is for builders to be backlogged and to put your project on hold. Starting your building project in the spring enables you to be among the first on the calendars before the rush happens.

 2.        Undivided attention.

Another advantage to getting on the calendar early is that the builders will still have fewer projects on their books, essentially giving your project the same levels of attention that you’d receive if you started in the winter months, but without as many weather delays. Additionally, if there are special considerations with your home, the builders can hone in best on those issues earlier in the year.

3.         Costs remain low as weather improves.

As spring turns into summer, demand for laboyr and supplies goes up, which can push your costs a bit higher. Starting in spring means you have the advantage of building in better weather before the costs start increasing.

4.        Optimum weather and temperatures for building. 

While spring storms can cause temporary delays, the weather in Australia is optimal in the spring months for working outdoors, which often means longer work days. Starting in spring means that weather permitting, your home may be completed sooner than if you begin in the hotter summer months, or in winter.

5.         Extends your building season, if needed.

If your home building project is particularly large, elaborate or complex, it may take longer to complete. Starting your home in spring enables your builders to take full advantage of the best weather months of the year so they can work through spring, summer and fall, if necessary, with fewer delays.

These are just a few reasons why it might make sense for you to begin building your new home in the spring.
