Criteria for selection of project

The problem with most samozastroyschikov newcomers that from self-construction, Many barely imagine the actual workload and the difficulties that have face. In this connection, the decisions taken at the stage of project selection, are often misleading, and the house It enters a phase of long-term construction, and instead become a place of family vacation turns into a financial hole.

How to avoid common mistakes?

Since self-construction in terms of limiting factors such as money, time or experience in the construction, and at someone and all together, it must be clearly aware of: the simpler and more concise is the design of your home, the easier and faster you will be able to implement it. On the agenda should be the functionality, efficiency and sufficiency. Therefore, first of all, the builder is necessary to define the concept, which will allow as soon as possible to implement the project.

Given the ambitious goal set by us to build a house for the 3 weeks we were defined with the parameters that will allow us to execute it:

Floors and area

For a small family of 2-3 people completely sufficient will be a small one-storey house of a rectangular shaped area of ​​40-45 square meters, which includes the following minimum set of rooms:

• bedroom;
• entrance hall, living room-kitchen-dining room;
• bathroom.

No basements, attics or bay windows - they are expensive, difficult to perform and requires a serious study of the project. However, the presence of living quietly receive guests and briefly increase the number of occupants in the house up to 5-6 people.

construction technology

For our project we chose the frame technology.

Forces to build a house 1-2 people needed to construction materials have a low weight and compact size that makes it easy to not only work with them, but also logistics. Frame best meets the specified parameters. The experience of our members of the forum shows that the "bump" the walls of a frame house of 40 square meters can be just a couple of days.

Foundation

Frame technology allows you to put the house on a light foundation of bored piles, which eliminates large the volume of excavation, as well as labor-intensive and time-consuming processes associated with the pouring of large volume concrete. Piles allow to start civil works within three days after their installation.

Constructive and materials

Given that our house for seasonal living, t. E., Will be operated only at positive temperatures, we felt sufficient to execute the following insulation: walls - mineral wool, 100 mm, the roof - mineral wool, 150 mm, the floor - polystyrene, 100 mm.

On the frame will be used dry planed board 45 * 95 * 45 mm and 145 mm. Virtually the entire timber has a length of 3 meters, making it easier both to work with him, and logistics.

Roof

The simpler the configuration of the roof, the easier it is to do, the fewer potential mistakes you can make in its device. The most practical and easy by a gable roof.

Roofing can be any optionally builder, but taking into account such factors as efficiency, durability, aesthetics and ease of installation, we have made a choice in favor of metal.

Facade

The most fully meets the stated objectives exterior decoration vinyl siding. This is an inexpensive and practical material.

Thus, within the framework of the project "House 3 weeks" we have decided to build a house on frame technology, about 40 square meters, designed for a seasonal residence. House foundation - pile, facade siding - vinyl siding, roofing - metal. Approximate estimated cost - about 500 thousand rubles.

The following article will tell you about the nuances of the location of the house on the site and works on the foundation.
