How to plan the construction of a house or '' Prepare a construction site in the winter ''.

Everyone knows that a properly planned business is faster and easier than what is done without a clear plan.

How to plan the construction of the house?

Building a house consists of:

Development or purchase of the project (see why the project is needed);
Calculating estimates (see. How to determine the value of the house?);
Coordination;
Supply and connection of electricity;
Water supply organizations;
Clearing a site and the organization of work of builders;
Box construction;
Connections of engineering systems;
Finishing work;
Purchases of furniture and equipment;
Land improvement.
Let's see what each stage is, what is included in it and when to start it.

1. Development of the project

It is cheaper and faster to buy a finished project. The acquisition of the finished project takes three to five working days. You can make changes to the finished project. However, it should be noted that this takes time. Adjustment of the finished project can take from one week to one and a half months, depending on the amount of changes.

If the finished project does not suit you, then you should order an individual project. The development of an individual project takes about two to three months. The duration of the development of an individual project depends on the size and complexity of the house.

At the same time, a master plan scheme is being developed with reference to the house on the plot.

If you are not sure of the strength of the soil, you should perform the calculation of the foundations.

To do this, you must have the results of geological surveys.

The timeframe for carrying out geological surveys, laboratory research and reporting is about two weeks.

The calculation and design of foundations takes from 10 working days to a month, and depends on the characteristics of the project and the nature of the soil. ( What you can not save or why you need a foundation?)

2. Calculation of estimates

This stage is usually carried out by a foreman or design organization. The cost estimate for a box at home takes seven to ten business days. The search for a suitable foreman and negotiations with him can take from a week to three. At the same time, it is worthwhile to start coordinating the construction with the district architecture, obtain permits and issue a construction passport.

6. Clearing the site and organizing the work of builders

After budgeting foreman construction planning, preparation of housing for workers. At the same time on the plot you need to bring electricity and water. It takes from 2 weeks to a month.

7. Box Construction

Building a box at home, depending on the project, takes from 3 to 6 months. At the same time, it is worth doing the design of plumbing, electrical, plumbing. Select the boiler, windows and doors. If you want to do a design project, then it's time to connect the designers.

8. Connecting engineering systems.

The layout of engineering systems, sewage, gas connection takes from one to one and a half. At the same time, you can pick up a foreman and take the estimate for finishing work.

9. Finishing work

After the wiring of engineering systems and the start of heating, it is time for finishing works. Most of this time is the choice of materials: wallpaper, laminate flooring, plumbing ... On average, finishing takes from two to six months. If you have chosen finishing materials and plumbing fixtures, according to the design made in advance, the terms of the work can be reduced to 2 months.

10. Purchase of furniture and equipment

As in the previous section, the timing of the selection depends on you. At the same stage, you can engage in the arrangement of the site and landscape design.

11. Land improvement

This and the previous section takes a month or two.

Let's put together all the stages and find out what affects the deadlines and how long it takes:

The construction of the box (earthworks) can only be started when the earth thaws, this happens in early April. Before that, you need to find a foreman, calculate the estimate and prepare for the start of construction (this is a total of at least a month and a half). Accordingly, you should complete the design work and get your hands on the finished project in mid-February.

Save on the calculation of the foundations we do not recommend. Those. When buying a finished project, taking into account the calculation of the foundations, we must have in reserve three weeks of time. The project order must be made at the latest in mid-January. Accordingly, geological exploration should be done in early January. If there are goals to save money and time -
