7 mistakes that people usually make when self-organizing home construction

Building a private home is not as easy as it sounds. It is difficult to decide on the construction of a house, but it is even more difficult to achieve the desired result. After all, the process is significantly stretched in time, takes a lot of nerves and funds. Plus, it is difficult for a beginner in the construction business to understand all the intricacies and details of the construction. Therefore, it is better to trust the construction of a house from the very beginning to professionals.

If the budget is limited, but you want to have your own house, then it is worth considering the main mistakes that people almost always make when building independently. Experts identify several typical mistakes, but they all boil down to one - the desire to save more. As a rule, this does not lead to anything good, and the construction itself turns into an exciting game called "Russian Roulette": lucky or not.

Savings on the site

You need to start construction with the acquisition of the site. Inexperienced developers in this believe that any piece of land is suitable, if only it would cost less. But nobody will sell cheaply a good site. Most likely, inexpensive land is inconveniently located, far from communications, located on the corner, and the “red line” passes between the neighbors. When choosing, it is necessary to take into account the shape and area of ​​the site, the availability of a convenient entrance, infrastructure and prospects for the development of the area.

Soil condition

Also applies to the site. It is advisable to examine the soil for suitability for construction before buying a site. Sometimes groundwater comes close to the surface, or the site is located next to a swamp, lake. On this type of soil it can be very difficult to build a large and durable house. And even a powerful foundation will not save the situation.

Project development

Usually it is customary in the world to trust a house project to a good architect, but in Russia, as always, they go their own way. Often, due to savings, customers take the finished project on the Internet, but the company gives all the documents and requirements only after payment. As a result, you can find that a small village house pulls on the cost of a luxury mansion.

Contractor Selection

Ever since Soviet times, people tend to trust the cobblers who can do all the work from the foundation to the roof. Usually they work without any contracts, and the amount of payment can vary from week to week. If there is a marriage in the form of cracks in the wall and leaking roof, there will be nothing to ask from them.

Draft materials

An uninitiated person may find it unnecessary to carefully choose cement for the foundation or brick for the ordinary laying of walls. After construction, they still will not be visible, so why spend the extra money? But if low-quality materials were used at this stage, then the finish will not help - the marriage will certainly appear during operation.

Savings on communications

It is clear that for a private house the necessary minimum will be enough: a boiler room, electricity and water supply with sewage. But the level of comfort and the safety of the home depend on how all these systems are laid and what materials they are made of. With a view to the future, it is better to immediately equip your house with “smart” engineering systems with the latest technology, so that after a few years you will not change everything again.

Process control

Many believe that the contractors themselves know how to build, and will do everything efficiently without any control. This is one of the main mistakes leading to unpredictable results. The team of builders must constantly check and make mistakes noticed in hot pursuit.
