How much does it cost to build a house?

People who want to get their own housing often think that buying an empty plot and building on it will cost a house from scratch cheaper than if you buy ready-made real estate on the secondary the market. But many do not even guess what the costs of construction are made up of. This, of course, is the cost of materials and workers, but not only.

House project

It is necessary to start with him. You can, of course, follow a simple path: download a free house plan from the Internet. But experts do not advise doing this: really good projects on which you can build a beautiful and comfortable home will not be displayed on the Internet. And, in any case, the project will need to be tied to specific conditions, the terrain, the location of communications. A free project may not meet the norms of SNiP and technical conditions, which means that the built house cannot be put into operation. So it is better to entrust the development of the project to architects. And it will have to allocate considerable funds.

Materials and payment

For the construction will require boards, cement, brick or blocks, roofing, insulation and much more. Costs will depend directly on how much materials will go and what quality. And also on where to buy it all. The cost of constructing a box and finishing work is approximately 40% of the entire house (this is the price of materials and payment for the construction team). This includes pouring the foundation, the construction of walls, stairs and floors, installation of the roof, facade cladding. Draft finishing work, depending on the desire of the customer, will be pulled by the same amount.

Communications

To the finished house you still need to spend gas, water, sewer and electricity:

• If the central sewage system passes nearby, then it will be possible to connect to it. If not, then you have to build your own septic tank. The same thing with water: either crash into the central water supply system or drill your well;
• It is easier to connect electricity to the house if the line runs along the boundary of the site. But it also depends on the power that is required to power the house. The larger it is, the higher costs must be budgeted. It can also happen that a separate line needs to be drawn to the site. And it can cost tens of millions of rubles;
• The situation with gas is similar. Nearby should pass the low pressure gas pipeline. Then you will have to pay for the preparation of the plan, materials and work on the insertion and commissioning. If there is only a high pressure gas pipeline nearby, hundreds of thousands of rubles are needed to build a new substation.

Home wiring

It is not enough just to bring communications to the house, they still need to be parted inside. It is required to install water supply, sewerage, electric lighting and heating system. These costs will need to lay another 20% of the total.

The finished house must still be put into operation. You will need to get to order a plan of the plot and the house, pay the services of a technician and the state duty for registration with the registration chamber. So you need to start building your own home with detailed calculations and a detailed cost estimate.
