What house is needed?

Plan a house. How to make the right choice?

Having accumulated the first ... thousands of dollars, and having decided to build a house, we will proceed with the choice of the project.

Most beginners developers, having consulted with their spouse (or husband) and children, choose a project of the building (remotely reminiscent of the Rockefeller Palace) with an area of at least 300-400 square meters.

In such buildings, as a rule, there are several chic baths, a huge living area, very beautiful arched windows, two or three balconies, etc., etc.

A little common sense.

Mistress on a note.

Great rooms are great. But every square meter of space requires daily cleaning, or at least weekly cleaning. Cleaning the house even 200 square meters is a hard physical work.

Conveniently, next to each bedroom, have a private bathroom with a bath, bidet and toilet. However, it should not be forgotten that everyone uses toilet bowls, and washed - Hostess.

The larger the house, the more furniture and accessories (curtain, carpets, etc.) will be needed to create an interior. If the family spends all the money on construction, a beautiful house can be empty for many years.

Decoration of the facades - balconies. However, in our climate, they are used at best 4-5 months a year, and at other times are collections of snow and rain water. Do you need them if you have your own yard?

Today, the children live with you. It will take a few years, and they, becoming independent, will go. Such a life. And often in huge houses only parents live, and children rent an apartment. Is it better to build a house smaller?

The owner of the note.

All rooms in the house need to be heated.

This applies to so-called guest bedrooms. Often they stand empty 360 days a year. You need to decide in advance how many rooms you need.

High ceilings are prestigious.

But the higher the ceiling, the greater the volume of heating space. And gas is more expensive.

Garage in the basement.

At first glance - it's convenient. However, leaving the basement in ice or snow is problematic, and all the rainwater flows into the basement. In addition, the entrance to the garage takes up as much space as the garage, located on the surface.

Sauna.

The sauna, located separately on the site, requires autonomous heating, own bathroom and rest rooms. By placing a sauna in the house, we save a lot of money and avoid the danger of catching cold while running around in a cold yard.

Arched windows are very beautiful, but they cost 30 percent more than rectangular.

Estimates of construction

Foretting the price of construction, please note that the cost of the box is a maximum of half, and often no more than a third of the cost of the finished house. And you still need a fence and a well, tracks and sewer, etc. etc.

Brick and reinforced concrete - excellent materials.

However, a house made of brick or foam blocks, paneling and solid (ribbon) foundation can not be cheap.

Therefore, whatever would be told to you, the price of a stone house with foundations of the required depth and thickness, warm walls, finishing and plumbing, can not cost from 700 to 1000 dollars per square meter of the area of each floor, taking into account the thickness of the outer walls.

So which house to build?

If you have a little bit less money than Bill Gates, then the house should not be very big.

A rationally designed home plan allows a family of 3-4 people to comfortably live on an area of 100-150 square meters.

There should be 2-3 bedrooms in such a house. It is convenient, when one of the bedrooms is located on the first floor.

If the two-story building needs two bathrooms. The bathroom on the first floor is easier to use for an elderly person. The kitchen can be both isolated and combined with the living room.

It depends on the wishes of the Lord.

In case of shortage of means, the garage can be built later. The first time the car can stand under the open sky or under a canopy.

And what to do when there is a plot, but to live nowhere?

Even if finances sing romances, the output is there. It is necessary to build quickly and not expensive. To do this, I will have to abandon the generally accepted principle of my home - my fortress. We will build as they build today in Canada, Germany or Sweden. No reinforced concrete panels. The cover is lightweight, from environmentally friendly wood. No bricks Load from the second floor and the roof will take on a bearing frame.

We will make the walls light. Twenty centimeters of basalt wool is warmer than half a meter of bricks. No concrete foundation foundations. Lightweight walls and overlays allow you to decently save, using not expensive columnar foundations. How to be ecologically? The most environmentally safe building material is wood. Due to the fact that the designs are made of natural materials, wood and basalt wool, we save on heating, well protected from cold, heat and noise, breathe clean air.

What about energy saving?

The main parameter by which one can determine whether a warm or a house is the gross weight of the building. Frame houses are the easiest, that is, the warmest. Another important element is the simple possibility of additional insulation of the walls of the house after the housewarming. The thickness of the carrier frame is 150 mm, the rest of the wall thickness is used for insulation and is made of 50 * 50 mm bars filled with mineral wool. To meet the parameters of "passive house" enough wall in 400mm.

Also, I would like to note the tightness, this is a constructive requirement for a frame house. It also has a positive effect on heat preservation. In the middle frame house is 5-6 times warmer than its aerated concrete counterparts.

I want to give an example from life: - "When building a house near Kiev (2007), all neighbors, smiling, compared the house that was erected with the house of three piglets.

However, after putting into operation and for several seasons, the smiles have gradually turned into light envy. In the winter, in the house, the temperature was maintained + 23 degrees (in a freshly built house a young family drove a newborn baby), and in the summer it never was more than 26-28 degrees in the hottest time.

Consumption of gas in a typical house of 75 m2 with external walls of 250 mm thick, a floor covering of 200 mm of insulation and natural ventilation was 1,100 m3 per year (this includes heating and hot water for two young children and parents and cooking). That. about 6000 UAH per year at prices in 2017. Learn how to reduce these costs 5-6 times in the section

Passive house

How much is building a house worth?

To construct two or three-room frame house of 74 square meters, taking into account finishing materials and equipment, it is possible to have 30-40 thousand dollars. The real cost of a home area of вЂ <вЂ <100 - 120 square meters from 45 to 70 thousand.

For more information on how to make a home energy saving, read in the article 'Where is the heat in the house?' '

And if you are wondering how to reduce the cost of heating in a building from aerated concrete, read: How to reduce the heat loss of the house by 8.6 times.

Call us now and we will decide together which house is best for your family.

P.S. I would like to note that with 30% of the stock of money for construction, it is possible to build a frame house 3-4 times warmer than described in the example.

To do this, you need to analyze the project, adjust the location on the site, the type of windows, sun protection and ventilation system.
