Budget Planner

Controlling the build budget is the key to a successful build. It is essential that the client has a clear understanding of what is involved in the complete build process so that they can be confident that the finances are in place before the build begins. MRT Homes are happy to offer advice on such matters, but as a starting point the following list may be of assistance. Many of these items may be included in the frame package, but careful reading of the specification documents from timber frame companies is required.
