Fears start construction and how to fight it

Only ardent supporters of urban life that are not of its existence outside the city, never to face the construction site. For the rest of this life stage, sooner or later, but be sure to come, it may be the simplest construction of summer cottages - "kebab fry" or more solid structure, to stay the entire warm season, or a house for permanent residence to all the attendant. In any case, the construction - it is a serious, requiring large financial and physical costs of the process. Like all new construction in humans for the first time it faced, it causes a lot of fear and concern. Consider what they fear the most, and how these fears are justified.

common horror stories

Build your house can be independently, which has repeatedly proved by our skilled craftsmen, in the presence of, if not expertise, then, at least, strength, health and desire this knowledge and experience to learn from. And you can contact a special company and get ready house or at a certain point, for example, under the finish, as well as to use force hired for certain stages. The presence of a set of horror stories is characteristic for the second and third option, because the person who decided to build itself, which acts as "Eyes are afraid, but the hands are doing." However, for samozastroyschikov will find this information useful.

According to our survey, and based on the experience of the participants of the portal, the most common are some basic "horror stories":

• Construction - this is incomprehensible "Chinese puzzle", which is impossible to understand.
• The project, which is arranged in the form of a beautiful visualization, in fact, will be home to an uncomfortable layout and insufficient / excess area.
• The allocated budget is not enough, the construction will last for years, or remain unfinished, burying already embedded.
• Unscrupulous real estate developers: unskilled staff, inflated estimates of questionable quality work, missed deadlines, "cunning" contract.

Fears that have remained at the level of nervous trembling, and did not develop into real problems that accompany the construction site, careful preparation for each item.

"Chinese puzzle" real master

As experienced builders joke - the first thing is to make graduates of the institute came to the construction site, - to forget what he had been taught. Of course, this is exaggerated, but it is under the soil. Today, any interesting information available, without leaving home, not to mention the opportunity to observe the progress of foreign construction projects, many are happy to share the experience. All standards and requirements are also in the public domain, you can download and study or repeated as necessary. In our forum hundreds of themes and photo reports with real-life experience of ordinary people who built their homes. And the bulk of them prior to the start of construction had about her a clue, and now live and rejoice, their example inspiring doubters.

Freer (User FORUMHOUSE):

My name is Alexander, and thanks to this site I built a house, now engaged in plaster walls, looking for some pictures and I plan to enter. But three years ago, I even hammer in his hands could not hold, I could hardly tie the outlet, and the word "filler" to drive me to the horror, but it so happened that I had to start all over again. Five years he lived in a rented apartment and the same question arose, where further to go, and there was no money at all, even on the mortgage payment, but had a good salary and something that can be sold. Accidentally wandered into Forumhaus not remember whose it was a report that someone had built the house with his own hands, by trial and error was the goal. I was stuck for four hours, and then suddenly thought, what have I done?

So began one of the most popular topics on the portalIn which the author tells in detail about the skepticism and loved ones, and that it is difficult, especially if built independently. But the house is built, it proves once again - everything is possible when there is a desire.

djgrim (User FORUMHOUSE):

Here I am the author of his own personal theme. Initially I did not want to open scribbling, but then I thought that the building, in which we decided, and which is now live and enjoy - 90% credit Forumhausa and your order. We decided to take him through the adventure - sold their only apartment. Thoughts are: suddenly I Saraichik its 117 squares Lift up someone on life changes.

Very "fresh", but already very popular theme a frame house from SIP. In contrast to the first example, there is a lack of funds was not observed, but the experience of the construction of the first. We get home happy family "at 100%."

All project

There are situations when the result is something only vaguely resembling a house, which he dreamed, but this can be avoided, if not just a poke in the first favorite picture, and the approach to the selection or creation project thoroughly. More details about the design has already been in one of his articlesBut not too much duplicate the most important.

• Beautiful picture with the facade and explication of premises - a visualization. The project includes full documentation and a variety of design solutions, and consists of two parts - the architectural and construction and engineering.
• Insufficiently detailed design increases the risks.
• Suitable types of project can be downloaded free of charge, including on the forum many spread and visualization, and the Engineering Bay and even estimates. To design it yourself, you need at least basic skills of working with special computer programs. Mix the first and second options - modify a standard project itself, without major changes. The third option - to order a specialist, actually save on cost, not on saving as turning on exchange portal.

Lekzan (User FORUMHOUSE):

About the project and the organizations that are doing it - there is a market, put terms of reference - you get a bunch of offers. When I was lecturing a similar request for four hours was about twenty responses, there are plenty to choose from.

• It makes sense to spend time searching for the project, are completely satisfied with the entire household, even if I have to shovel the cloud sites and topics, and to create a dozen sketches of the designer or on paper.

Lekzan:

We have a project more than a year grinding out first for themselves - the number, type and size of the premises, then tried to place it all in a box with a view of parts of the world and the site. The same size of the house - how many people will live in the house, I have my 170 meters until ready to just the first floor, but now I realize that need for the future lay in the family budget cost per person, which will be once a week to come and help his wife do general cleaning.

• Afford to be built without the project may be people with a lot of experience building their own or with the assistance of craftsmen in which certain. Beginners are not worth such a risk, especially if they build will not be the most qualified personnel.

asrock (User FORUMHOUSE):

I found that suits me the project, but the project material of walls, floors and roofs did not coincide with the desired. Therefore, I decided not to order the project design and conduct their own homes, and still had some experience, and knowledge. What later regretted. In general, if you want to work with cheap labor and can not be present at the construction site at all times - a project is a must, at least, if we have to build more, it is only a project.

How to meet your budget

If the technology and design to choose, based on the funds allocated for construction, and then to understand what accomplishment enough, but what better yet just dream, you get before the money runs out at the stage of the construction box. There are plenty of online calculators that give an opportunity to fairly accurately calculate the costs based on selected materials and structural elements with reference to actual prices, sometimes after such prikidok accounts change project. "Killing" a few nights, you can get as close as possible to the reality of the estimates and verify it with the same craftsmen in topics already built homes or close to completion. The best option - to find a project implemented in the region, and the price drop is leveled, and travel expenses, and go to the object of curiosity easier.

Alex79yan (User FORUMHOUSE):

I have to say that the project, which is being built, was not the first, first stop on the projectZ1, but considering the cost of construction, had to abandon it and look for one-storey option, as the estimates for the construction of one-storey house was a half times less. Just I want to say that this is my first experience in construction.

How to protect yourself from unscrupulous executors

Due to the specifics of the domestic market the danger of running into a service company or team, the real level of professionalism is much lower than claimed, one of the frontrunners. At best, the construction will be delayed much and spoil a lot of nerves, at worst - the money will be spent is not clear on that, and watch the types can be directly through the wall. This will help to avoid recourse to a reliable company or proven masters. Availability of appropriate licensing documentation goes without saying, but it's better papers tell about the company handed over the objects that can be viewed not only in the portfolio and on the website.

In addition, the contract must be as detailed as possible:

• With the transfer of the amount of work, there are no oral agreements that partition then must be built, and you can stay with one box.
• With the indication of not only the timing of completion of works, but also the intermediate steps, as well as sanctions for failure.
• With the demands of the quality of work - in the contract laid links to regulatory documents, which indicates how and based on what is determined and the actual regulatory compliance indicators. Or list specific requirements.

Conscientious developer would not leave loopholes for themselves. If the contract blurred, it makes sense to look for more specific language from another contractor. But in any case, it is necessary to monitor the progress of construction.

elektrolexa (User FORUMHOUSE):

We decided not to bother to self-build and buy a finished house in any village, ride, look, choose. The developer seems serious, and the contractor was a good friend. We choose a house that gave almost all decided to take a clean at the zero point, for full control of construction progress.

But there is such a thing as a "building control", it is the best option when there is no possibility to stay at the facility due to employment or remove it. When doubts arise in relation to the developer responsible for the project, it is necessary to hire a third-party specialist for the independent monitoring and acceptance of each stage. It will cost a certain amount, but the discipline of employees and will save a lot more due to the fact that will not have to deal with trouble.

In teams, the construction contract many houses completely or some stages, the responsibility of the group leader. The selection may be delayed, but it is better to spend time looking for one time than to look after these "stocks" of the previous.

Alex79yan:

Search builders took about a month, we had to arrange a casting before making a choice. Since I work, then stay permanently on the construction site is not possible, therefore, looking for someone who could adequately organize work well and with adequate prices (labor market and the cost of the work I have studied in advance in order to have an idea that how much worth). The brigade is found, the foreman - a sane guy (good reviews about it from people who have built), prepared cost estimates, agreed, and rushed.

Naturally, fully insured against all the force majeure it is practically impossible, anything can happen, but as much as possible to protect themselves from potential problems is quite real. And to help in this our portal and its craftsmen, courageously overcome all difficulties on the way to his dream.

The survey, based on which selected "horror stories" - here. Save on a construction site can be, even without sacrificing quality as - in an article that thereby actually cut costs. At least it will be useful to learn how to save it on building materialsand about the details of the calculation of the masters. In the video - story forumchanin on its way from the emergence of the idea of ​​a country house to its realization.
