In the construction estimate, take into account all the materials that will be used. Give preference to certified construction and finishing materials.
This will avoid disappointments associated with exterior decoration or roofing after several seasons of using the house. It is recommended to study the modern building materials market and read customer reviews.
During the construction of a house, sometimes there are delays or temporary suspensions of work, especially in winter. Therefore, most materials should be purchased in advance and stored properly to maintain quality. This is especially important for wooden structures, bricks, and dry mixes.
Foundation and earthworks
In what order should the house be built?
Carry out excavation work and pour the foundation. Then build walls, install a roof, windows, doors, lay pipes, wire, connect communications and do interior decoration.
The first step is to carry out excavation work and pour the foundation. It is necessary to determine the location for the sewerage outlet and the water supply inlet. To do this, trenches are dug, then pipes are laid and insulated. After this, the foundation is laid.
The following factors will help you choose the right foundation:
- soil category;
- location of groundwater;
- soil freezing level;
- terrain and seismic activity of the region;
- presence of a basement;
- types of loads (the number of floors, the weight of all furniture, plumbing, equipment, etc. are taken into account);
- presence of underground communications.
The monolithic type of foundation is considered the optimal and more cost-effective option for the construction of private houses.
