The house is on a steep slope. Personal experience.

Sometimes, it seems, life circumstances are not in your favor, and the construction of a house on a complex relief seems an impossible task. But as practice shows FORUMHOUSE users from any situation there is an exit, the main thing is not to give up and plan everything properly!

So, the history of the construction of the house on a steep slope of aerated. But first a little background of the nickname from forumchanin 4u4undr.

- The site we were looking for two years. First, in the villages, naively believing that the land there is cheaper. But buying land for 2 million for 15 acres, while having a communication on the border, did not want to.

When buying a site should be remembered that the term "communication on the border" does not mean that they are next to your site. Sometimes - it may indicate a gas pipe for tens or even hundreds of meters from your site. A summing up of light and gas could cost a very large amount.

Eventually 4u4undr acquired in the area of ​​15 acres. Despite the fact that the vertical drop of 11 meters, the future of the builder bribed a great view of the forest and the possibility to build a house on a hillside

chalet-style. But as it turned out it's just the beginning of the story ...

4u4undr:

- Shortly after purchasing the phone rang, and I found that to our site because of the difficulties in terrain and located next to the ravine can not take the road.

It is important to remember that the purchase of land on the slopes of the construction of the house - it is a responsible decision, because before the complex of landscape works is necessary to make a study of soil. And if the ground is, as they say "More could not resist" and the possibility of progress, it greatly complicates construction of the house and requires the adoption of measures to strengthen the slope.

Once it became clear that the approach road to the first portion will not, 4u4undr I decided to compromise, and to redeem the discount a second portion adjoining the first and which is the access road leading top.

- These sites were on the slope of the least expensive in the village. Almost one and a half times cheaper than flat areas. Although now I understand why. If there was no entrance from the top, I would probably splurge on solving problems with the rise of construction materials to the pit. Crane on a slope is also not deliver.

After the registration of all necessary documents for the purchase of land, the total area of ​​30 acres, our Validating the first thing has got a rotary laser level, and, as it turned out, not at all He lost.

4u4undr:

- Immediately after the purchase has been tested in leveling work. For four hours I was completely alone did toposomku area with a grid of 5 meters. With these Croke area and began working in Google sketchap. I made 3D terrain area, and then began to try it different configuration area home.

The problem was that - that the house is not completely gone into the slope and excavation was balanced.

After removal of fertile soil layer thickness of 5 cm at the first rain ground whole mass began to flow downward. As measures to strengthen the slope It was found the next exit - reinforced soil geotextile.

Despite the complexity of building a house on the land with great height difference should be remembered that each degree is equivalent to the southern slope of the movement area at 100 km. south.

After marking the site was approved house plan with sides 17800mm to 12000mm and stepped in the designer.

4u4undr:

- The design process took home remotely using communication via computer. I can say that this is the best budget option, and the result I am satisfied on all 100%.

Then, with a bulldozer started under excavation pit. As a result, when the soil poured into the ravine, to the site to add another 20 meters m2.

Conclusion - do not rush to remove the excavated soil from the site, it can be quite useful for landscaping or for feedback bedding.

4u4undr:

- first marked out the site at home, then fell back on each side of 2 m, and the site and digging.. Those. pit turned 16h23. At home 12h18,6 spot. The uppermost part of the plot falls exactly on the fence. From it, and 1.5m stepped pit dug - turned breakage height of 2.7 m from the rear wall of the house to the fence 4 m on draft overhang is 1 m turns from the edges of the roof to the fence 3 m...

Housing has been selected slab foundation. After leveling and tamping leveling instrument inspection pit sand height difference was + -2 cm, which is a good result. Next, on the advice of the designer as a waterproofing TEFOND purchased, then it was set formwork, related fittings and the day pouring the foundation, but there has not been without difficulties.

4u4undr:

– The fact that I have access from the bottom section. On such a steep slope to the site does not pass. And if you use a concrete pump, the boom needs to 80 meters, and it is very expensive. Therefore, all imported from the top, through the neighboring areas. 10 mixers and a concrete pump did their job.

Despite the fact that the developer had feared heavy rains that could turn the road into impassable mud, everything worked, and the foundation was poured. After removal of the formwork, mentally it is already possible to estimate the future contours of the house and rooms. Interesting feeling our forumchanin.

- Perception of the house is changing, as its construction is progressing, namely:

• Draw the internal layout of the house with footage of rooms and size of windows, and realized what we will have a big house.
• Marked out on the section of the border ribbons house marked out of the room - like, and it seems that the rooms will be small.
• Filled plate - walked around her, and she seems to be so big that it is possible to play football.
• Place the first row of blocks - mentally figured size rooms - and although the exact size, it seems that the places they will be few.
• Raised the walls and realized that the house gets huge.

To paraphrase one famous saying, it's one small step for the foundation - marks the beginning of the highway to his own home.

To summarize we can say that the key to building success on the slope are:

• Selection of the optimal design houses;
• landscape planning, linking to the home area and marking the site;
• Strengthening slope portion;
• Careful monitoring of the progress of the work of excavation. Uses for excavation machinery, instead of manual labor, because it is cheaper and faster;
• The use of optical control devices.

As practice shows, compliance with all of these measures makes it possible to build even on a steep slope your dream home .
