CONSTRUCTION NORTH VANCOUVER
DON’T UNDERESTIMATE BEDROOM LOCATION
Your bedroom needs to be as far away from traffic as possible. Preferably, it shouldn’t be placed above a garage, especially if you live with early risers or night owls who come and go during uncommon hours of the day while you’re sound asleep. To get a good, truly restful nights’ sleep, your bedroom needs to be tucked away facing the quietest side of the house, far from the living areas where everyone hangs out.
KITCHEN PLACEMENT IS IMPORTANT
Kitchen placement is equally as important as bedroom location. While the bedroom needs to be at the farthest end of the house, it’s advisable that the kitchen is built closer towards the garage or home’s back entrance, making it easy for you to bring in groceries without tracking dirt in with shoes through the entire house or central living areas. Little things like this are key for comfort.
TAKE HVAC INTO ACCOUNT
Your home’s HVAC system is a fundamental part of the build. Poor placement can lead to moisture issues in walls and ceilings, leading to mold and eventually, health problems. Your HVAC system needs to be proportionate to your home – too big and you risk unnecessarily high bills, too small and you are unable to sufficiently heat up or cool down the home.
SAFETY FEATURES
If you have a family with kids and pets or are planning to grow your family, it’s important to take into account certain safety features. Things like cordless, motorized window treatments to reduce the risks of cords, as well as certain kitchen safety features can go a long way in securing the safety of young, curious children.
PLENTY OF LIGHT
Planning for plenty of natural light can reduce your use of electricity throughout the day, as well as make for a good atmosphere throughout the home with large windows and skylights. There should be plenty of outlets and light fixtures, as well as light fixtures that are dimmable, being geared towards use during the night.
