Who did not dream to build a house, in several floors and with many rooms. Some, of course, prefer not to bother, and entrust the case to the builders. But, firstly, this is more expensive, and secondly, it is one thing when the builder is building, for him this is just another order, the same thing to build for himself. All the main aspects that you should know about the construction of the house can be laid in 7 points. 1. Build the house only according to the project. The project is not superfluous, it is a building document that controls the construction and architectural quality of the house. Without it, it is almost impossible to calculate the cost of construction. The consequences of the lack of a project may not be withstanding the load with the foundation, or something will go to the shout. But the most important thing – without a plan, the construction of the house is illegal, and as a result – the inability to design the house in the property. 2. The depth of the foundation is not the most important. The foundation, as we know, is what the whole house stands on, which means that it needs to pay special attention. Then it will be possible to change everything, finish, redo it, but then you can’t change the foundation. Very often builders are mistaken, believing that the deeper the foundation, the longer and more reliable it will serve. But there are much more reasons for destroying the foundation: this is an insufficient thickness, and too much depth, the soil around it, and the level of freezing of the soil, and the presence of underground aquifers, and the material from which it was blinded. In general, it is better to contact the foundation and the area of its installation with a specialist, no matter you build yourself, or a team of builders. 3. The thickness of the walls. The choice of material for walls is very large, dependent on the taste, local climate and the availability of funds. The most important thing is to choose the right width of the walls. The method is usually used: wall width = foundation width, unless of course the foundation was made correctly. This is exactly the case where thicker is better, because the thicker the walls, the warmer it will be in winter and cooler in the summer. 4. Communications. This is exactly what your home makes civilized. You cannot live without water, gas and electricity. And communications should be considered in advance: how, what, where. These works should be performed as high quality as possible. So that the extra pipe does not work out in the wrong place and sockets at an altitude of two meters from the floor. 5. Do not forget about the functionality of the roof, looking at its beauty. It is better to make a sharper roof so that the snow does not linger on it. And it looks more spectacular. Do not make a too complex roof design, then it will be more difficult to insulate and the attic area will be smaller. 6. Tool. The quality of your house depends not only on the skillful hands of the master, but also on a good tool. And if you are building it yourself, remember – the stingy pays more, and tolerate a lot of nerves with a poor tool. 7. Energy saving. This is a very important aspect of the construction that you need to think about throughout the construction process. Apply new technologies to save energy, then all this will pay off doubly for you. In general, we recommend that you do not rush, think about all the movements of the construction at all its stages, from large technical points to the smallest detail, and then you will receive your dream house.
