The construction of affordable and comfortable country house: Myth or Reality?

When on our portal it comes to the estimated cost of building a country house, then, often, the theme acquires a variety of rumors and speculation. Along with mythical stories of "experts" on the possibility of building a two-storey stone cottage "turnkey", with an area of ​​200 square meters. m, in just 1-1.5 million rubles, novice developers "scare" estimates, where only the foundations left aforementioned amounts.

As a result, those who are just dreaming of their own house, can not get the answers to the questions: Is it possible to build inexpensive and comfortable cottage? What material is it to build? And most importantly - a house can be built in... The amount of each affix itself. To fill the gap, the material we turn to the practical experience FORUMHOUSE users and tell:

• Where should begin the construction of affordable houses.
• Which areas should be a cottage, which will fit into the "overextended" budget.
• What materials and what technologies build efficient home users of the portal.

• How much does the construction of the frame, bar-shaped, and aerated concrete houses for permanent residence.

Where to begin the construction of affordable holiday home

The first thing to do - sit down with your family and to calculate how much money you are willing to spend on the construction of the cottage immediately and in the long run.

This will help avoid the common situation: an inexperienced developer, believing that he knows everything, breaks in impossibly credits, intending to quickly build a cheap house to move to live with it family.

At the exit, in the best case, it turns out "box" of "firm", in which it is necessary to invest more in 2-3 times more than has already been spent. Or, as sometimes happens, the only thing sold housing, the developer is spending funds to build a "stone fortress" - a dream home in the 300-400 square meters. m and, without calculating the forces, receives eternal unfinished, complete that there is no money.

Gricall (User FORUMHOUSE):

I know people who sold the apartment, filled the foundation for the large cottage and set on a plot of bath - without a roof frame, the size of 6x9 m, which was not completed. That's all, the money ran out. Now, for several years they live in cabins, set in the area since the means even to bring to mind a bath, there is simply no.

Hence: the first rule - taking a decision to build a house, and even more low-end, where each is a waste threatens to punch a hole and let the family ship to the bottom, first get rid of illusions. We cut all the "Wishlist" in the form of extra architectural delights - bay windows, the complex polygonal roof, turrets, etc. The most optimal option "budget" of the house - the structure of simple geometric shapes - a square or rectangle. Roof - Gable.

second - reducing the maximum area of ​​the house, and, most likely, will have to get rid of the second full-length or floor attic, because it immediately increases the cost of construction. A good option - Scandinavian projects single-storey homes ranging from 60 to 100 sq. m. They are rational, well thought-out interior and aesthetics.

But of course, this option is not for everybody and this architecture is suitable not for everyone. In addition, because of the mentality, many people believe that the house is less than 150 - 200 square meters. m, it is not the house, as well - giving, where there is nowhere to turn. At the same time, in most cases budding developers do not suggest how much immediately increases the cost of all construction gain even 1-2 m to the total perimeter of the building.

 For clarity, we present the results of voting on the website of the issue: "What should be the area at affordable cottage?".

As seen, the majority vote for cottage area of ​​from 110 to 150 sq. m. But the house of such areas do not always fit into the "budget" structure.

We'll have to make a compromise: either to gain funds for the "dream project", and it could drag on indefinitely, or, if the house is needed here and now, to choose the optimal, feasible for the family budget, and therefore cost-effective technology construction.

What materials and technology to build a country house budget

So, if the family consciously decided that we should build a house, and decided on the amount it can spend on the construction, the next question - what to build. This includes everything - from the selection area of ​​the house and finishing materials and technologies.

third rule - novice builder in the construction of our reality must rely only on themselves. Neither the superintendent, beating his chest that he was already building 15-20 years and knows everything, no guys with the "firm" giving promises over the phone that the "lam" they will build a "candy", should not affect your solutions.

Only after studying all available information on the construction, which is on our website, 100 times and 20 times thinking everything counted, you can start building. At the same time we get rid of the misconception that you have to buy the cheapest building materials for the construction of affordable houses. Savings should be reasonable, since Further alterations will cost several times more expensive than to do everything as it should, from the first time.

Olgusha (Participant FORUMHOUSE):

The main principle of economic construction, "miser pays twice." This means that we should not look for the most affordable building materials and hire a very cheap labor. Such an approach will only lead to one thing - more to spend more.

Relations with the workers on the construction site and the organization of their life - this is a topic for another discussion. It is enough to put himself in the place of "mercenaries" and ask yourself, would you quality work, for example, a month for the amount you want to pay them? Professionals appreciate their work and build a home for "penny" will not. On how the erection of a cottage on their own and with the help of workers, affect the estimate, we will describe below.

The fourth rule. You can not build a house without the project, the study of soil on the site and carefully calculated estimates. Moreover, all of these costs will be repaid, and, as though it may sound strange, all this helps to save.

antonpavlov (User FORUMHOUSE):

I, along with my family built a house of aerated concrete. The project is developed by ourselves. The only extra charge calculation - a reinforcement of the foundation. Paying for it with 3 thousand. rub., I saved 36 thousand. rub., as this amount would be re-pledge in the foundation of the "extra" fittings.

An important point: in order to estimate the approximate cost of construction, it is not necessary to resort to the services of a professional quantity surveyor (do not consider the complex projects of large houses). It must be pushed off from the project, to break all the construction stages of a number of coherent and simple steps. Zero cycle - walls - floors - roof, windows, doors, finishing, etc. inzhenerki

Arjan (User FORUMHOUSE):

Start counting from the foundation, it is necessary to dig up so many cubes, for a certain price. Next we consider the formwork, concrete cubic capacity, cubic content of the tree (if karkasnik), cubic content of insulation, etc., up to the roof and drywall and wallpaper. Then, to get the amount adds about 30%. Here you have a real cost estimate for materials.

Do not forget about the different "melochovki" - nails, screws, fittings, consumables, etc., on them quietly lapping decent amount.

Thus, one can pre-estimate how much will cost the construction and whether the budget will be enough.

The fifth rule"Box" - is not even a house, because It is impossible to live in, and the cost of construction of the foundation, walls and roof (if you take the averaged) account for approximately 30% of the total construction budget.

Major expenditure (regardless of the structural elements at home and the material from which it is built) go not on the "box", and engineering networks - water supply, sewerage, heating and finishing.

What is the cost to build a cheap house

This is a question asked by novice developers. Moreover, the concept of "low-cost" everyone puts their meaning. For someone fiscal house - it is 500 thousand. rub. Someone would like to meet the 1-1.5 million, while others believe that everything about everything suffice 2-3 million. In connection with this interesting results the next vote.

 As well as a survey on the subject, from which users FORUMHOUSE build houses.

As can be seen, by a wide margin in the lead "karkasniki" and the house erected from large-size blocks. This can be a gas, foam, or expanded clay blocks. Of course, the results are all above surveys are averaged in nature, but the trend in the face. Most thinking about the "budget" home, wanted to build a cottage area of ​​150 square meters. m framing technology or of the blocks (sometimes of brick or timber) and thus meet in an amount not more than 3 mln., and preferably to 1, maximum 1.5-2.

Now, based on the practical experience of members of the portal, see if the reality matches expectations. We go from the most budget options on the rise.

Frame house

sergeikahost (User FORUMHOUSE):

My wife and I want to build a house for permanent residence. On it there are about 600 thousand. rub. I am thinking that we can build on this money - house made of logs or "karkasnik" + to build on their own or find builders. I would like to call in the autumn, ie construction period of 2-4 months.

Note that placing such a budget, the user has made exemplary computing from which came out (in the most optimistic scenario) that house size of 6x7 to 10x10 m will leave:

• foundation - 100 thousand. rub;
• "Box" from a bar - 300 thousand. rub;
• additional costs - 50 thousand. rub;
• roof - 150 thousand. rub.

Note: The prices are for 2015, the city of Ufa accommodation.

according to sergeikahost, with the proviso that it zavedet water in the house itself, and is heated by electricity, as no gas, 600 thousand. rubles + 100 on reserve, for a total of 700 thousand. rub. should suffice.

Interesting answer our portal users who have already been built.

sipik (Member FORUMHOUSE):

Calculating the amount of which, do you think that will be enough to build a house, feel free to add to it another 30%. I was built in 2014. Storey house of aerated area of ​​120 sq. m. The construction has spent 1.5 million rubles. Of these, 400 thousand. rub. He gave work to builders. Note that all meticulously thought, but still had to the extent that it has calculated that for a box at home (foundation, walls, roof), add another 30%.

gna123 (Participant FORUMHOUSE):

For the money (700 thousand. rub.) can not even think about the house 10x10 m. Bruce also disappears at once. Shrinkage, konopatka, allowing to stand, etc. We can only karkasnik, not larger than 7x7 meters, and it is provided that will do everything yourself.

according to YuriyB1971, 600 thousand. rub. you can build a small brick house in the 1.5 floor with insulation and trim the budget. MZFL foundation. If hiring a team, it is only a thorough understanding in technology and total control of each stage of construction. However, this amount does not include "inzhenerki" - electrical, heating, plumbing, ventilation, only warm "box"!

Counting the price for the material or studying construction budgets users of the portal, always pay attention to the region of residence. This is due to the fact that in different areas, depending on the prevalence, different prices for the same building materials. For example, in one region of the normal price of the forest, but the crushed granite is very expensive. In another region- cheaper (box) of the blocks to erect, as normal and high-quality wood, "the afternoon with fire you will not find", or it is very expensive.

Another common misconception that a frame house - it is always a cheap house. "Correct" karkasnik (consider only the "box"), collected from a dry and well-crafted antiseptic compositions of wood, with exact observance of technology, using high-quality materials may be more expensive stone house.

Aleksey122 (Member FORUMHOUSE):

If you build it "karkasnik" not as is customary with us: as horrible, raw wood, in violation of all that is possible, then its price is comparable, if not greater than that of the stone house.

Slava111 (Member FORUMHOUSE):

Once I figured the cost of 1 sq. m karkasnika the material work inzhenerki and septic tanks by further finishing. It turned about 20 thousand. rub.

Regardless of the structural elements at home, the price of finishing work and installation of utility networks (depending on the preferences of the developer) can significantly increase the final cost estimate.

Savings in the construction of a frame house should not be on the materials, and in a substantial expenditure - payment of wage labor. Therefore, if the developer is thinking how to reduce costs, one way out - to build a frame house on their own.

This is the main advantage of this technology and a real opportunity to save money.

Only need to calculate whether such construction will not last if enough time and effort, because unfinished leads to an increase in construction cost estimates.

lumber house

Having considered the frame house, go to the cottage from a bar, which many consider low. What it will cost the construction?

Koptsev (Member FORUMHOUSE):

I in 2015 built a house with an attic of the profiled bar, section 145h195 mm. The dimensions of the house 8h9.5 m as a foundation -. Screw piles. Here is the estimate for the construction, including work,

so:

• foundation pile-screw (27 mm in diameter piles 108) - 96 thousand. rub;
• "Box" under the roof - 760 thousand. rub;
• roof covered with metal - 123 thousand. rub.;
• underground electric cable entry into the house and installation of a switch - 32 thousand. rub;
• box 13 pcs. - about 90 thousand. rub;
• two metal doors - 47 thousand. rub;
• okosyachki material - about 20 thousand. rub;
• cost of 32 thousand. rub. okosyachku for 19 thousand. rub. for inserting windows and 5 thousand. rub the door;
• attic finishing and insulation of the roof, walls and floor - 252 thousand. rub.

The sum accumulates rather big already. And this not all costs. Next came work on polishing, painting, construction of stairs, finishing, commissioning of water home from a well, cylinder installation, water supply systems for consumers wiring, assembling electrical inevitable minor work.

Total from July 2015 to October 2016 for the construction of spent nearly 2.3 million rubles, and yet to the cost of purchase and installation of kitchen furniture, as well as the installation of an autonomous sewer system.

Koptsev

First we calculated that will be cheaper, but the amount is not much different from the expectations. Of course, money is spent, already thought, maybe worth it to build karkasnik.

Stone house

At first glance it seems that the term "budget" and "stone" house about 110-150 square meters. m - two incompatible things. Indeed, for the rub 1-1.5 million. this house is not built (do not consider the "box", namely, house, ready to live in, even if unfinished), but what you can expect with a budget of 2 million rubles 2.5?

natassia (Participant FORUMHOUSE):

I want to build a house. Budget - 2.5 million rubles. House plan 2 floor of 10x10 m. Wondering whether these will be enough money in the house of the blocks, or consider karkasnik?

According to experienced users of the portal, this amount is not clear enough for a house. Yield - 1 floor remove, reduce the area of ​​80-100 square meters. m and to build a simple one-storey or polutoraetazhny (with a loft), a European-style house.

Any attempt to "maybe will" lead to unfinished. Focus (if the house is necessary in order to enter and live, albeit without full readiness and finishing) on ​​the figure of 20 thousand. rub. 1Q. m. This is a very rough calculation.

according to nir, if uzhatsya area, but do not skimp on materials and form factor, it is possible to build a cozy cottage on the foundation or UWB MZFL with insulated floor on the ground.

The walls of the "38" warm ceramic slab - hollow plate brick outer lining. Or walls of aerated concrete, without additional warming under further plastering.

Bobahina (Member FORUMHOUSE):

I have a house of aerated concrete. They built their own - family home. Dimensions home 10h7.5 m., Area of ​​150 sq. m overlapping of the second floor -. Hollow slab. Only the first floor is decorated and held utilities, exterior finish there, because it was necessary to call as soon as possible. The initial budget planned to meet the 1.5 million rubles., But spent more. Miscalculation, as well as at all, although the estimate made when calculating everything must be rounded in a big way, and I'm less. Optimist. It is necessary for the amount of at least 20% of the throw. But in any case, the house is already there, I live in it with his family, and we are very satisfied.

The total cost of construction of the house (which is not completed yet) is:

• "Box" (all costs including excavation, purchase of material, window installation, delivery, purchase of tools, rent and vibrator compactors, etc.) - about 1.5 million rubles.
• Finishing the first floor, assembling heating and water + purchase of household appliances (a refrigerator, stove, boiler) - about 500 thousand. rub.

Total, given melochovki, a little more than 2 million spent on the house. rub.

Summarizing

The main mistake novice developers who dream to build an inexpensive house - haste and overconfidence, while the need healthy skepticism and thorough approach. Without sufficient knowledge (at least the minimum volume) main construction stage, especially building technologies, the pros and cons of materials, an attempt to build a house like this will lead to "eternal unfinished. "

And at the end of the article, The sixth rule: Any, the most well-designed project homes and most high-quality material can ruin the hands of "professionals" of the building. Before you criticize this or that technology, it is worth considering, and if it is bad, and, perhaps, to "jump" wood overlap or cracked stone walls - it is the fault of workers or teams of developers in flagrant violation of building codes and rules.

Hence: to build a relatively inexpensive, durable and high-quality home perhaps most importantly - to know how it's done.
