To build a quality house from aerated concrete with your own hands, you need to know many nuances. Well, block manufacturers do not stop talking about the simplicity of the construction process when using such products. The main benefit is that you don’t have to pay for the work of the construction team or company. The cost of a new home will be reduced only to the price of the material itself and delivery. Thus, after some time, a not very expensive house or bathhouse may appear on the site . From aerated concrete, it’s quite possible to build such structures with your own hands. However, you will first have to prepare a project, having also carried out geodetic work. A fairly important point in the construction is the use of special glue and the presence of a specific tool.
When it is planned to build a
house out of aerated concrete with your own hands, the design option is primarily chosen, because in fact, you can give any form and texture to the design. It is worth paying attention to sketches of various buildings from this material. However, an attractive picture is not able to convey all the functionality of a modern home, so an individual or standard project will be required. Although these blocks are quite light, they still have some weight. Thus, for the construction of a house with several floors, a careful calculation of load-bearing structures will be required.
Very often, an individual developer who builds his own house from aerated concrete with his own hands believes that for such an object it is necessary to create a relatively inexpensive strip foundation. Such a foundation is able to withstand a one- or two-story structure, but in this case, roofing and finishing materials should be quite light. In addition, almost impeccable soil indicators are needed. The usual foundation is suitable for lands with shallow freezing and a dense structure.
The owner of the site, who decided to build a house from aerated concrete with his own hands, in any case wants to save money. Very often, the construction process stops for an indefinite period of time. For such timeouts to be much less, you should correctly allocate finances and prioritize when buying materials. For example, before
foundation work, there is no need to purchase material for the walls, since it can deteriorate during this time. It is not recommended even to import aerated concrete completely, because there is a possibility that over time it will change its properties during long-term storage.
Of course, a house made of aerated concrete with its own hands is completed in a short time, but it is necessary to really assess the situation. As a rule, the walls of the first floor are erected in 7-10 days by a team of four people, with a masonry width of 400 mm. This is a good norm, but in fact it is not so often achieved even by professionals. Well, with individual construction, without experience and skills, the terms will increase to a large extent, and with increasing height, the masonry speed will only decrease.
