Hire an architect or building consultant to create a stage-by-stage, expandable plan that shows:

  • Starter unit construction (core rooms)
  • Future expansions (additional bedrooms, bathrooms)
  • How each stage connects seamlessly

Step 2 – Build the Core Starter Unit

Focus on building 1 living room, 1 bedroom, kitchen, and shared toilet & bath. Core construction includes:

  • Foundation, walls, and roof
  • Windows and doors for security and ventilation
  • Plumbing rough-ins for kitchen and toilet

Step 3 – Complete the Starter Unit Before Moving In

Before moving in, ensure the starter unit is fully livable:

  • Plaster & paint walls
  • Basic flooring (cement screed or tiles)
  • Functional kitchen & toilet fixtures
  • Electrical points and lighting (if budget allows)

✅ Only after these are complete should you move in.

Step 4 – Engage Structured Oversight
