Over time I came to realize these are some of the way to reduce or manage building cost. See them stated briefly below.

1. Purchase most of your building materials upfront if possible. Especially the ones that can not be stolen easily.
2. Prefer minimalistic designs. But wider exterior with lots of greenery. You will thank me forever on this...haha
3. Avoid unnecessary shoot outs, corners etc. Yes it adds to its modern look but has no added functional purpose.
4. Compromise on materials that are easily replaceable ...lol. This is a hard swallow but I said what I said. Things like wall and floor tiles, paint quality etc. But never on manpower or structural items like columns, beams, cement mix, building level, wood for roof etc.
5. During design stage group toilets and other utilities close to each other and let them share the same wall. This will reduce the number of pipes flying everywhere. It has post construction benefits for maintenance reasons too.
6. If possible, allow for cross ventilated spaces and wider or multiple windows or entrance. it permits smaller spaces to be comfortable or habitable especially meeting the cooling load.
7. By extension of No. 6 use bright coloured paint coatings to reduce heat adsorption on the exterior as it also gives an impression of space.

Bonus Point
8. If your land size is wide and erosion is not an issue, use carpet grasses and some horticultural plants to cover the open spaces rather than flooring entirely.

@ Olukaygold what do you think?

You have made some good points in your post. Especially houses to be rented out, no need overbuilding them with huge pillars and all. Unless you are in "de luxe" market niche. Just ensure good quality and make it functional. Let it be spacious outside and incorporate more nature/trees/flowers to make it more liveable. Families with kids will really enjoy it.
