Features of the construction of houses in Japan

We have already talked FORUMHOUSE users about how our compatriots build houses in AmericaAnd now it was the turn of Japan.

As practice shows foreign construction of stone houses, The theme of housing problems of concern to everyone, no matter where you live, most people will sooner or later come to the conclusion that to live in their own cottage a lot better than in the apartment. After all, as the saying goes: "In the house you are your own boss, but the apartment is only a tenant."

The experience of our forumchanin wilted Ant_ON / OFF will of fate was in Japan and decided to acquire their own housing.

- At this time, I live with my family in Japan, where we rent an apartment, but with the birth of a child, the question arose that our apartment was for four small.
Then one day, we come across an advertisement for the sale of land, which we have because of attractive prices and decided to buy.

The plot in three hundred (which is the Japanese standards are not considered small) has managed approximately 800000r.

Validating initially thought to do in the construction of their own, but a sober assessment of the situation, decided to apply for a construction company and get a ready-made house "Full construction".

It is important to remember that since the construction is first necessary to make a home project. The only way to figure out all the costs associated with the construction of your future housing.

Also it should be noted that construction in Japanese starts with the installation before the construction site information board with information about the company developers. The plot has conducted all the necessary communications - from electricity, access roads and asphalt finishing sewerage system. And the local culture of the construction work can be expressed in the following motto: "Accuracy, quality and speed."

About the German approach to the construction of houses gives details in this article .

Traditionally, in Japan, due to the seismic hazard erected frame housesAs the most resistant to earthquakes. In the case of the destruction of light frame structures tenants such structures increases the chance of surviving a disaster.

With the construction of a light house, you can save more on selecting step foundationSince under such a structure does not need a strong foundation laid. But the Japanese have everything its own approach.

Ant_ON / OFF (Member FORUMHOUSE):

- As an analog of the foundation has been chosen for the houseWarmed Swedish platesBut with its own characteristics. In particular at the plate edges are made high, due to which floor level is raised above the ground.

This foundation is well suited for earthquake-prone areas, as well as for areas with difficult soil and high groundwater levels.

Alexi(Member FORUMHOUSE):

- Due to the low inverted edges formed underground. The Japanese are placed in such a subfield engineering systems. Heating, ventilation, air conditioning and even gas-fired boilers. And the equipment for such a mini-cellar sale Special - flat.

In Japan, workers assemble and maintain these systems, lying on a board with wheels (for car repairs).

Despite the complexity of manufacturing such a foundation of unnecessary vertical reinforcement boards via bent edges, knitted reinforcement, Everything is explained by practical needs.

sgromanAlexi(Member FORUMHOUSE):

- The Japanese sleep on the floor, and a basement type provides relatively high location of floors, and the lack of drafts. Also under the floors often do air heating

Also of interest in the Japanese unit. If you look at Ant_ON / OFF Housing project, the following values ​​are evident, room size:

• 6.3
• 5.4

Despite the fact that many people think that these figures suggest footage rooms, all is not so simple.

Ant_ON / OFF:

- This is a Japanese size and for conversion to the metric system they must be multiplied by 1.65

In Japan, the linear dimensions are in meters, and the area - injo.

Room area is traditionally measured in tatami, Japanese - 畳 -dzo that is taken into account when building a house.

Tatami - mats is that in Japan dim floors of houses. The area of ​​the mat - 90 × 180 cm (1.62 m²)

Unlike our built environment, the customer in Japan does not understand the features and technology of erection private houses.

When a contract for construction work is given a guarantee from an insurance company for 20 years. And in the case of low-quality work, (which in itself nonsense), the contractor as soon as possible to conduct all necessary corrections at its own expense.

budget house "Full construction" Japanese costs about 10ml. yen, which is about 3 ml. p., but moved in, co-owner receives housing is completely ready, not thinking about the need dodelok or repair.

An interesting approach of the Japanese to a contract for construction work.

Ant_ON / OFF:

- In Japan, on the sites you are building companies, because of the competition, will not find homes projects. You must come to the office, where a cup of coffee or tea with your manager to discuss all the questions.

Japanese like to live in touch with your clients or partners.
