Thereby actually reduce construction costs

The construction requires a lot of time and cost, irrespective of the structural elements and the materials used, but there are real opportunities to reduce costs. Whereby it is possible to save money, that it is not turned into even greater losses in the future - known members of portal FORUMHOUSE.

As the construction process itself takes place in several stages, and optimize spending in several ways:

• The savings on the project.
• Savings on materials.
• Savings on builders.

The savings on the project

Although sometimes the decision on construction comes spontaneously, due to the need arises or, on the contrary, thanks to unexpectedly found resources, often it is preceded by a long preparation. Regardless of the speed of construction of the object - the whole cycle in one season or phased construction of the house for several years, initially requires a project on the basis of which the work will be carried out.

This is not just a beautiful design that gives an idea of ​​the size and form factor of the future building, this control document which is easier to monitor the quality and compliance of operations, and the consumption of construction materials.

And when applying for a construction permit in the state structure will be asked to provide a copy of the design documentation. House project consists of two mandatory parts:

• Architecture and Construction (AU): drawings of all building elements with geometrical characteristics - floor / floor plans, roof system, roof, house sections, elevations. In the constructive section (CR) circuits foundation elements, floors, stairs.
• Engineering part: documentation on water supply, electrical, sewage, heating.

The project can be from 30 to 150 pages, depending on the number of floors and the design features, usually the size of a standard landscape format.

Project Order in an architect's office or company - an expensive pleasure, individual development will cost a few hundred thousand. Therefore, the bulk of private developers trying to save money on this item of expenditure, for which there are several possibilities.

Turn to private traders - Architects working at home and are independent of the company's take on much cheaper, but also weighty - can get away with 50 thousand, if the project is not too complex and without an engineering part. In particular, on the stock exchange website - plenty of job offers at affordable prices.

podgadat time - hot time to start construction in the spring of course, by this time should be developed projects. Therefore, in the winter to Architects great demand and prices are higher. In autumn, usually starts decline, and prices are also falling.

He agreed about the architecture and form factor, without inzhenerki, over 47 tonnes. P. Man working in the design institute for life, a lot of completed projects, but in order to save my funds requested surveying the site, the concrete or in the ground pour.

Refer to the familiarWho have the necessary experience and skills to work with computer programs for the design - the amount of the treaty, but the result is not guaranteed.

Take advantage of someone else's project - the forum of the portal there are users willing to share their documents on the basis of which to build an identical house or modify for themselves.

Use the free model project - in the network and on the websites of specialized companies can be found workable projects of different assembly - as thumbnails, which actually build a house without the bells and whistles, and the full packages, but it is much less common.

Make your own project - having the skills to work with graphic editors, actually come up with not only a floor design, but also to work out design solutions and engineering systems. Design takes a lot of time and effort, but the project will be completely exclusive, and the second of the house does not appear. And alterations that occur in the course of constructive thinking, make yourself easy. Even on paper can represent the desired design of the house.

Otsmotren was not less than 1000 projects in the network, system started to look at four hundred - when a little Wishlist systematized. As a result, he began to draw - nothing internally and externally did not like. Rendered (paper, now he is laughing, but I was so easier, more familiar) about the 27 layouts of different heights and sizes - not all have survived. At the same time wondering materials and constructive at home, the layout area (taking into account the stored 4-cherries and one apple and one lilac), building plan and communication supply.

Get a bonus - many construction companies when ordering the house "turnkey" project documentation include the cost of works. Of course, that's no reason to run at once in the company, but if it was planned to contact the professionals, it is reasonable gain in the design. Conveniently, in this case, you can make changes in the course of work at no additional cost project.

The project is done quickly, the foundation took a well-known site "500 projects". In developing the project, I changed a little square room, almost pushed the barriers and asked to increase the size of the house. Later in the process, I have changed the design, added a pair of lag in the floor, and two piles screwed to the base of the fireplace. The project came in electronic form in PDF format, with all nodes, views, dimensions, reveal panels, and so on. D.

When choosing a project, it is necessary to consider some nuances:

• Square meter in a one-story structure is almost 50% more than in the two-story, as in the first case, more than the foundation and roof area, and these are the main items of expenditure. But if the house will live the elderly, it is problematic for several times a day to use the stairs.
• Each extra room "just in case" adds to the cost of tens of thousands of homes, and even hundreds, and whether the event occurs is not known.
• Architectural delights in the form of columns and bay windows look good in the figures, but are costly and complicate construction.
• The presence of the basement or ground floor also adds zeros to the amount of the costs, so if there is no vital necessity, it is easier to manage storage room or utility room, will be much cheaper.
• Desire to save money should not lead to cutting down the total square meters - will have to live in the house for a long time, and if he gets uncomfortable, no savings do not justify. There are regulations that must be followed. However, the hulk of several floors with a cap, most likely, most of the time will be empty. And if money - just enough, then swung at too great an object, you can get caught up in the construction site for years.

Which is characteristic, and today a lot of people to save the project even easier - without building or on the basis of a simple graphical sketch. And not the fact that as a result they get lower quality and more expensive due to lack of budget, but rather, it is a happy exception.

Savings on materials

trying save on materialsWe must not forget about common sense - should economize on everything, but not on quality. Strength, durability and reliability should not suffer. Initially, it is to determine the type of houses, since the difference in the cost of the finished square meter in a stone house in karkasnike differs drastically. The portal has already raised the issue of construction for centuries and everyone - their opinions, but we can not agree with the findings of one of our members.

Technology is really a lot, and some die and some appear every year. However, I have learned one rule - there are no good and bad materials are Krivorukov builders! Well, there is now bad materials system, from what you want, the only question is how fast do you want to build and how many are willing to spend.

Therefore, if the question is worth saving edge should think about reducing the cost of structural elements, and after try to reduce the cost of materials.

Save on construction materials may be due to the following.

seasonal sales - with the end of the construction season, many retailers are selling the remnants of the organization at the lowest prices. If construction continues to the cold, or eat, where to put bought before spring actually win a large sum on bulk purchases.

Buying in large networks - sometimes even with the purchase of an expensive delivery of building materials in the city at large dealer cost it is much cheaper than a place in the regional center. In addition, less likely to buy a product of poor quality. And not the fact that everything and immediately available - is possible order and the long wait for delivery, accompanied by downtime.

monitoring - it makes sense to carefully examine all the proposals, the benefit from the internet is not difficult to choose the most attractive offers on the market. The difference in the cost of the same name in different stores is sometimes striking, but when it comes to a large party, the amount is incident marked.

Savings on builders

Payment of work - one of the major expenditure items, which can be reduced to save a large amount, and it can be done in different ways.

Built entirely on its own - for many private owners lack of construction skills becomes a reason for hiring professionals, as an incentive for self-improvement. They learn the theory, chatting on forums, asking for help, creating threads with questions, visit the nearby building, gaining experience.

Today, in the public domain - all the necessary information on a portal of hundreds of relevant topics that are willing to tell, and provided intimate residence, may show.

There is a real experience of people to build a cottage "in a hard hat," and if there are assistants from among family and friends - even better. With careful study of the theory, the calculations (online designers of all stripes, too short) and compliance technological processes, the quality is not inferior to samostroev erected parameters of buildings constructed hired experts, and sometimes surpasses them. Learn from the experiences of participants in the section of the portal "The experience of building. Reports of members of the forum. "

With regard to the construction of their own - you can and should be. If I was not such a start, would be sitting now in a henhouse with a sickening smell on the stairs, the sound of bumchik-bumchik due to wall and sirens of car alarms through the window.

Built on its own, but with the help of hired workers - any construction process consists of both complex operations requiring skills, as well as from within the powers of an ordinary man with his head and hands in the correct position.

Even a partial self-build will reduce costs compared to hiring a pro for the whole cycle.

However, it should be borne in mind that mercenaries usually require control, even the presence of the superintendent does not guarantee compliance technologies. And to not have to control every step, it is necessary to choose an independent, worthy of trust brigade - on Exchange portal you can even hold a tender and choose the best.

What you can do yourself - do, for example, a box of timber houses built by, while all the time I was in the country and controlled. Hired to dig a septic tank and a well, and then my husband electrician himself did at the weekend - for a long time, but he and how. Water was brought in (pipe) house, then we will do the wiring yourself - have, sit, learn that it is better as well, the husband would do, and I - to help.

able to negotiate - the hiring of workers is justified by the payment facility as a whole, rather than for each of the operation. The sum of the whole complex can turn out less than when adding individual items, and even bargain really. But this option - for teams with the firm will not work like that.

It is necessary to agree on the whole front of the work, without specifying the price for each item, then you can save. When I put a house wall and roof made with metal tile, I do not need to be discussed separately the cost of laying, Laying nets, etc. FROM foreman bargaining was something like this: a wall lined with - so many cubes, rafter system to collect and cover it for the winter roofing material. He named a price, I was traded, and as a result the price has dropped a little, and instead of roofing material they gave me for the money covered with metal roof. Value Matera to the price for the work was 7/2, and the first foreman wanted to work only 1/1.

It should be borne in mind that a great influence on the cost of construction has its duration - the longer, the more comes out. But if unfinished carefully planned, then it is possible to gain. But everything should be within reason - if in the process of total savings you will ruin the health of heavy physical labor, as did not want to pay for the equipment, the cost of treatment will eat all the difference, and that even in minus leave.

If the building is already finished, and were finishing touches in the form of collection and entry, read the article for sliding gates, From it we can learn how to save money on such a useful design. Construction of the roof - one of the expenditure items of the construction budget - slate, laid under the tilesAlso save a lot of money. In the video - on the floor screed master class - this skill is useful for any handyman, because prices for similar work "bite".
