The tree is one of the most popular materials used for the construction of houses in suburban areas, and now on the outskirts of large cities. This material has become very popular due to a number of positive qualities. Among all the benefits of eco-friendliness, durability and attractive appearance. But what influences the cost of construction from a log and what to draw attention when drawing up the estimate?
LAND PLOT
When planning the construction should take into account the features of the land, its location and the possibility of supplying communications. The farther from the city is the chosen area, the lower the price will be. This is due to the fact that in remote areas there are difficulties in bringing the necessary communications, which takes a lot of money. That is why it is not necessary to lead an attractive price for the land. By the way, about 3% of the budget will go only to connect to the grid.
PROJECT
You can save money by choosing a standard, standardized project. So you get a ready-made, proven plan (even better, when the building under this plan is already built). In this case, possible nuances are calculated during the construction, and you do not have to overpay for additional drawings. When choosing an individual project, be prepared for unpredictable expenses (additional purchase of materials, the possibility of minor miscalculations in designing).
These two items make up almost 30% of the total budget when planning a construction.
FOUNDATION
No less important element of pricing (almost 12%). It affects the total cost of the house. The foundation will depend on the type of site chosen and the type of foundation itself. Also, the depth of the support is affected by the price - the deeper the foundation will dip, the more materials (and, accordingly, and money) will be needed. Also during construction should take into account the price of building materials and the complexity of the design itself.
The foundation can be striped, columnar, monolithic or made using special pile constructions. In order to determine the optimal type of foundation, which will make it possible to create a reliable and durable structure, it is recommended to conduct geological studies of the soil. Based on the data obtained, you can choose a affordable and quality option. For example, a good foundation does not have to be used for good soil.
WALLS
Here an important role is played by the materials and the thickness of the walls. The material from which the walls will be made depends on the technology chosen. It can be a wild frame, glued beams, cylindrical logs, profiled timber, etc. At the same time, the cost of erection of the construction of cylindrical logs and profiled timber is approximately the same. Therefore, each person can choose the best option, taking into account their preferences and tastes.
Of course, the larger the diameter of the log or the section of the beam, the warmer the house will be. Therefore, if you want to use the house throughout the year, and not just in the summer, then you should not choose the cheapest option. In addition, take into account the height of the ceiling and the number of partitions inside the object to be erected. Also, do not forget about the type of wood used. Now the most widely used pine houses because they cost less than the construction of cedar and fir. At building walls spend about 30% of all the money.
ROOFING
The price is also influenced by the roof structure and the material you plan to use (15% of all funds). Specialists advise to cover the house with a solid material, since the houses from the log-house partially settled down. Also, taking into account the weather features of Ukraine, the roof should be adapted to the cold and snowy winters (do not accumulate excess snow, allow it to gradually go up). Often, various types of slate, ondulin, tile, false roof, corrugated board and soft roll materials are used.
DECORATION
Wooden houses almost do not require additional finishing works. But if you want to get an individual design - you have to spend a little bit (10% of the total). Usually, here the price affects the number of windows and doors (and their additional decoration), the installation of fireplaces, less often the beam is painted.
So, in preparation for large-scale construction, it is necessary to take into account 6 key points: the land plot (ease of location and communication), the project (versatility or individuality), the foundation (an important component of a durable and durable home), walls (their thickness will affect the temperature in the house), the roof (will protect the house from adverse environmental factors) and decoration (will give the house uniqueness, sophistication and aesthetics).
