The desire to get a comfortable and modern home, more and more often leads people to the idea of their own mansion, because city apartments do not convey the feeling of spaciousness and freedom, just like comparing with the possibilities of country cottages! Where else will you have the opportunity to organize your personal space exactly as you want, starting from the garden and green area, and ending with the technical area - garages, utility rooms and workshops.
Do not forget that home construction as at the same time interesting, but also complex, time-consuming process that requires attention, experience and in-depth knowledge of the matter. The “man from the street”, of which there have been more and more lately, will not be able to cope with the assigned project tasks. And also he will not be able to competently prompt and correct the customer if he is categorically wrong!
We will not analyze commonplace examples of mistakes in building a house, when, for example, the project of the house was not worked out and carried a lot of errors, because an amateur designer was hired. Or a situation when, instead of builders, relatives were involved, who did not have the slightest idea how the cottages looked at all, or local alcoholics who came to earn money for a bottle.
Often, big problems lie in small things, which only professionals can fix and accomplish. Let's try to analyze a few basic situations.
1. Incorrectly chosen type of foundation can not only have dire consequences, but also become a big "financial hole". Remember, if the walls can be rebuilt, the partitions can be moved, and the finish can be repaired, then the foundation is no longer there (or it is extremely costly and difficult)!
Very often, due to ignorance of the profession, or due to deception, unscrupulous builders do not correctly choose the type of foundation, and subsequently they mount it. Where reinforced concrete piles with a grillage would be more logical, out of habit (or in order to earn more), they use "tape", which is much more expensive!
There are situations when the wrong choice entails, not only monetary losses, but also the collapse of buildings or its strong "drawdown", you should not throw it out of your head when selecting a contractor!
There are a lot of examples, and you should take this very seriously!
2. Marking and planting the building on the site should include not only the location of the building, but also its location in accordance with the cardinal points and regulations of the Russian Federation (distance from neighbors, from fences and roads).
What is the point of paying tens and hundreds of thousands of rubles for the design and project of a house if it is not correctly marked and placed with the windows of the living room and bedrooms facing north? Or even worse, the markup will not correspond to the originally projected geometric proportions! Sabbots, they have every chance not to be able to "read the drawings", or to be negligent in this. The result will be inexorable: the dimensions of the sides do not correspond to the drawings, the “axial” dimensions were taken for the outer ones, and the diagonals do not converge by a “good” half a meter!
Turnkey house begins with a sensible drawing, which, subsequently, is ideally marked out and executed in reality, implemented exactly according to the design tasks, and not just "how to get it"! It will be impossible to fix such flaws!
3. A common misconception that waterproofing - this unnecessary trifle, on which it is easy to save money, turns into a disaster.
Due to the penetrating dampness, the microclimate is deteriorating, walls and interior are destroyed. The stone gains moisture, and collapses when it freezes, the finish suffers no less due to dampness, and wet wood is ideal conditions for bugs to live.
Water can rise above ground level about 100 -300 mm, of course, depending on the region, and it is recommended not only to insulate reinforced concrete structures with all scrupulousness, and create a "blind area", but also to lay a basement above this level!
4. A large number of "spare" rooms, such as "future" playful, universal, cigar a priori sound tempting and interesting. You just need to be ready to spend a lot on unused or partially used premises. They will not only have to be erected, finished, connected to all communications, but also serviced: heated, cleaned and paid tax per square meter!
Design only those rooms that will be in demand and appropriate for you and your family. What good is an empty cigar room where your wife keeps shoe boxes and dresses from the past Gucci collection? Or a built gym for a lot of money is empty and serves as a wardrobe or a warehouse of washed things. It is easier to initially design laundries and dressing rooms, without unnecessary costs and complications.
5. Basic principles of lighting both inside and outside the mansion it is advisable to think over at the design stage. Lighting devices and sockets should not only be placed exactly in the place you need, but also in sufficient quantity. We must not lose sight of the fact that natural light is necessary and must prevail.
Landscape illumination and wiring should also be thought out at the stage of project development, so that you don't have to break and dig anything up!
Of course, we did not list all the difficulties in the construction and its organization, but we tried to pay attention to the most "forgotten" nuances and aspects, for the alteration and repair of which serious funds are spent!
A turnkey house is a complex complex of efforts and works of various specialists and craftsmen, and you need to know firmly and decide correctly to whom to entrust this occupation. Guided by the following principles, it will be easier for you to choose a construction company:
- It is important to visit the construction site and see with your own eyes the "fruits" of the activities of people, evaluate the already completed and only under construction projects.
- Get acquainted with the company's personnel, with those who "make the weather" at the construction site: foreman, foremen and foremen. Only in this way you will be convinced of their qualifications and understand who will work for you!
- Check the documents of the construction company, their permits, admissions and "KVEDA", and the contract.
- Get contacts or live (with the consent of both parties) to meet with past clients of the company and ask all the "inconvenient" questions!
- And finally, demand a complete and intelligible estimate, in which there is a complete explication of building materials and stages of work. Know that if you have a real pro in front of you, he will not only explain all aspects of the calculations, but also protect them if necessary!
Remember that the shabashnik is able to leave behind so many complications that it will take years and millions to solve them, be healthy and wise!
