Facade of simple shape, low-cost materials for walls and optimal interior style - we select ways to save on the construction of a country house, without sacrificing quality.
1 choose the facade of a simple form
The simpler facade and the smaller the decorative elements on it, the cheaper it will cost his project and erection. The decor can include protrusions and niches, balconies, threads, columns and stucco. The lowest cost will be at a single or two-storey house of a simple rectangular shape.
This does not mean that the building will eventually work out ugly - you can choose an interesting texture finish for the facade or paint it with bright paint.
2 put simple windows
The complex glazing of the country house with the help of French windows to the floor or windows on the roof looks very beautiful, but makes construction and operation is significantly more expensive. First, such windows have a higher price, it is more complicated. Secondly, in addition to them, you will have to think over a more complex and powerful heating system.
3 Select inexpensive wall materials
The fiscal materials for the construction of walls include foam blocks, glued bar, ceramic brick.
Gas blocks will help save the budget during construction, as it is easiest to build the walls of them. In addition, they have low thermal conductivity, which will allow the use of less material for the insulation of the walls.
Another way to spend less money is to find materials that are manufactured in your area in order not to order expensive delivery.
4 Study the area before booking the foundation
The cost of bookmarking the foundation is about a third of the budget of all construction. On this important element, it is impossible to save to the detriment of quality. But you can carefully examine the terrain where construction passes, and find the foundation optimal and characteristics.
First of all, it is necessary to know how much the ground is mixed in winter. It makes no sense to lay a very deep foundation if the freezing is small and there are no problems with groundwater.
It is also necessary to take into account the weight of the future facilities. Wooden houses are easier and give a smaller load on the foundation, stone and brick is heavier, it means that the basis will be more expensive.
5 carefully select equipment
When building a country house, it is necessary to think about how to save not only at the time of building the building, but also in the future. For example, when choosing a boiler for water heating, pay attention to those in which the functions of the economical consumption of electricity are laid. They are included on timer a few hours before your awakening and are in sleep mode all night.
6 abandon the open interior
It may seem that if you abandon the construction of walls inside the house and adhere to the studio format, it is easy to save on the material and works. But in fact, you will spend much more funds for the heating of such a room.
7 Choose the optimal interior style
The last step of construction is to study the interior. Select such a style that will require a minimum of finishing work. For example, the Scandinavian interior is well combined with wooden walls, loft - with bricks. But for the modern classics you will have to level the walls, glue the wallpaper or apply paint.
