Admin Leave a comment

The first thing you need to know is to find a piece of land that will be the place for building your dream house. This lot should be suited to your need and fit to your standard of living. Check if the place is safe and free from flood.
There are many things you need to know before house construction starts including the house plan, contractor, building permits, suppliers, and funding availability.

The following are some things to consider in building a house:

• Contractor or House Builders

Choose a contractor or house builders that have a nice background. It is advantageous that you choose a builder that has license to operate the business. Check their previous work to check the quality and also interview some of their previous clients.

• Building Permit

Secure the building permit needed on your municipality before building a house to avoid penalty and other charges. Local laws have rules and regulation for building a house. They will check whether your house plan is follow according to their rules such as building codes and restrictions.

• Building Cost

Know the estimated cost of your dream house. Get help to your contractor for reality check of the cost of your dream house. After you know the cost of your house, you might consider eliminating some features to suit to your budget. Remember to add 25% to the total project cost to cover unforeseen construction expenses such as increases in material cost, additional payment for the change of design or features of the house.

• Budget

If you have enough funds to sustain the construction of your dream house, there is no problem about it just making sure that you have contractor’s agreement or contractor’s contract for payment agreement. If additional funds are needed, you need to secure a house construction loan. Apply for the funding institution that offers low interest rate and will approve your house loan application.

How to Build Quality Houses

Admin Leave a comment

Most contractors nowadays are only after their profits so they focus on quantity rather than quality. They build low cost housing and sell it on high prices.
For the buyer or owner of the house, it is necessary to inspect he house before buying it. It is important to know the structure of the house not focus on finishing touch. If you choose a contractor, make sure that the contractor has good reputation and see previous work or project.

Here are some tips on how to build quality houses:

 

  1. Make sure that the house has ground beam. A ground beam is the reinforced concrete for supporting walls, joists, etc. The function of the beam is to resists loads and applied loads. It is also protection against earthquakes because it is use to supports columns of the house.
  2. Use only quality materials such as standard steel. The construction should follow the house specification on the house plan that is duly signed by architect and engineers.
  3. Granite and tiles should be properly installed. Squeaky floors mean improperly mount or fit.
  4. Electrical wiring should be properly installed by well-trained electrician with good reputation. Use quality materials such as branded materials to avoid repair work in the future.
  5. Plumbing system should properly fit. Use quality pipes, drain pipes, vent pipes because plumbing system is complicated and one of the costliest system to repair and install in the house.
  6. Doors and windows should properly fit. Well-fitting doors and windows are signs of quality construction.
  7. Use hardiflex and metal furring for ceiling.
  8. Pay attention also to the roofing of the house such as the thickness should be 0.5 to 0.6 mm branded colored roof for protection from heat and rain.
