How and from what is cheaper to build a house: we compare materials and technologies

How and from what is cheaper to build a house: we compare materials and technologiesThe construction of new housing is always a huge expense. It is not enough that it can allow to arrange for itself, not paying attention for the estimate. In most cases, you have to save to fit into the budget. All thrift should exist reasonable, because in a brand new place the owner and his family live well enough. The building must be warm, dry, comfortable, pleasant in appearance. Like it to manage without overpayment? First - to save for the brigade of workers. If the developer has the appropriate abilities, then it is allowed to do everything by himself or practically without permission. Also it is allowed to select cheap materials, available technologies, standard intent. It seems cheaper to build a building with your own hands? For what it is worth saving, but where better not to dare?

Thrift begins with selecting a project. The more difficult the building forms, the more expensive construction costs. It is not rational to try to reduce expenses due to employees, technical supervision or material properties, first choosing an expensive intention.
It is better to be conditioned with the right living space without depriving the family, and not allowing for excess square meters, to choose an ordinary form roofs. This will make it possible to make comfortable housing that meets the needs of the family, but without building"excesses"- a multi-pitched roof, bay windows, columns, arches.
It is important to discern the options for the construction of one- or two-storey construction with a residential attic. p> Residential attic is much more profitable than a single floor. For the construction of the floor, more materials are useful - for walls, insulation, finishing
Skeleton-panel. This variation is expensive, but safe and requires a much lower labor cost. The structure is assembled from prefabricated panels, which are manufactured for the plant according to a special order. Shields are supplied already insulated and ready to be assembled. If we compare the prices of panel and panel buildings, then the first is more expensive. All the final dignity may turn out to be similar, if for the sake of assembling a frame-panel dwelling to excite workers, it is necessary to pay separately for the future work separately - assembly, cladding, thermal insulation, finishing. The wood frame in assembled form is already similar to the finished building. He asks for skin and trim. In the walls of the structure, steam and waterproofing materials are again installed for the plant, which helps to increase the life of the structure.
The indisputable advantages of the technology:
Cost-effective. A short authority is a trivial saving for the foundation, and a short time for paying workers. It is believed that houses built according to wireframe technology are cheaper only, all in almost all economy is dependent on the area of ​​construction, selected components, finishes, etc. The calculations of the most experienced engineers demonstrate that it is useful, if the length of the structure does not exceed 20 m, and the number of storeys is 3. Often, the intention resolves without a break.
Higher energy saving ratio. The designs are alive and well warmed up. The walls are made of materials with low thermal conductivity, so the building holds excellent heat. The thickness of the wall can exist 15-20 cm. Between the additional benefits - lower costs for heating in accordance with the comparison with the usual construction of the same area.
No shrinkage. The walls of the structure are high-strength, resistant to deformation, are characterized by the highest rigidity, and the building itself does not shrink. This also certainly affects the timing of construction: work on the finish is allowed to start at once after the end of the main works. Galun does not ask for additional processing, which lowers the costs for finishing.
Disadvantages or which should be taken into account:
For the sake of assembling such a design, special knowledge and tools are needed. The qualification of the builders has a principle meaning, therefore, not a separate developer will manage personally in the distance, well, and the team will have to painstakingly select.
Wood frames require additional treatment with compounds for bio and fire protection.
To be the choice of the project, special attention should be paid to ventilation. Artificial materials are excellent thermal insulation, but based on the beliefs of environmental safety left to desire the best. If the housing is small, then at the theoretical level it is possible to get by with natural ventilation, however, in the standard and for the sake of it, it is necessary to lay off and install a system of ordinary air exchange. There are no"wet"technologies used for the assembly of frame structures. This exception is a huge plus, because allows you to drive work at any time age
Density - one of the main advantages of a frame house, because serves as a guarantee of good thermal insulation. However, it has the opposite side - a violation of air exchange. So that the products of human life, dust and other causes do not aggravate the local climate in the building, do not reduce the number of oxygen in the air, should design a benign ventilation system.
What to do:
Tree. Despite the various future treatments, the wood species is exposed to water, microbes. On average, such a frame serves before 60 years and is inferior to iron analogues in terms of strength, lightness, resistance to destructive factors of the external environment.
Metal. For the production of lightweight thermoprofile. Its advantages are good fire resistance, small authority, corrosive stubbornness. Iron parts are not susceptible to attacks of fungi and mold. All the same, it can increase the life of the structure before 100 years.
What cheaper will the building cost? Being an estimate compilation is an obvious importance rather because of the wood frame. All if"look into the future"and take into account the higher performance characteristics of the thermoprofile, then its construction time justifies the costs.
The base is allowed to choose tile, columnar or tape, depending on the type of soil. To save is allowed for the simple in the installation of the roof - gable or mansard. The election is due to the developer. 1 sq. M. m of the iron frame weighs 30-50 kg, with the skin - about 200 kg. A small specific authority of the finished house can be built for unstable soils. The profile also uses to be reconstructions of buildings with heavily worn bearing structures
Bricks are the only favorite. It's hard to call houses cheap. Walls have to act thick, plus they require additional insulation, which leads to a further increase in the cost of structures. The authority of the finished structure is great, therefore the base needs really strong. It is made for the entire depth of soil freezing.
It is difficult to save for him. The minuses also include a long, labor-intensive construction. All the longevity of the designs, their fire safety and practicality pay back almost everything.
If you look at the prices for the construction of a good-quality building for the websites of specialized companies, then there is an action that dignity is low. Even in the cost of turnkey construction there is no final finishing: the installation of flooring, interior doors, sanitary devices, etc.
If all this is to operate without the help of others, then the costs should be added to the costs for the purchase of materials. If you need to shoot the workers - then, to the same, pay for their work. The construction is useful only in the case book, if the owner of the plot firstly chose the intention and a huge proportion of the work can be done without the help of others.

Variation # 3 - aerated concrete blocks

Aerated concrete block is a valiant competitor to classic brick. Construction of the box is much more profitable than construction. The wall thickness may exist less for 1/3 without loss of thermal insulation parameters. Personally matter is noticeably lighter, which allows for savings due to the foundation. An additional "bonus" for the owner of the house is excellent noise isolation.
 
Housing from aerated concrete blocks "breathes", there is no disruption of air exchange, because hole through. All the same reason the blocks are not the best option based on the beliefs of waterproofing. If the construction is carried out with a violation of technology, the finished structure can also be blown. We must pay homage to the finish.
