Typical houses are built according to projects. You can purchase a ready-made version of the layout or use the services of a special company that will do everything for you. As a result, you will receive the keys to the apartment building, which can already be settled.
The right choice: why is it so important
When choosing a development option for a suburban area, pay attention to the number of storeys of the building. From the correct choice depends:
- ergonomic design both at the construction stage and during the operation of housing;
- functionality at home.
The size of the plot directly affects the choice of project option. According to this, it is worth determining the quadrature of the structure and its number of storeys. On a large plot, a single-storey house project is beyond competition.
We will get acquainted with the benefits and losses in the construction of a one-story model house.
What features are characterized by projects of one-story houses
The foundation foundation is the most expensive part of the house. For a building on one floor, a less powerful foundation is required than for buildings on several floors. But here it all depends on the type of underlying surface and soil density, since different types of foundations are characterized by their features and cost. Laying the foundation of a large area, get ready for the fact that costs will increase. The option of designing a house on one floor with a garage will be appropriate.
You will save on building walls, acquiring a popular, high-quality, but not so expensive type of material - foam blocks. In addition, the walls of a one-story typical house will not have to be strengthened, as is done when constructing a second two- or three-story house.
Please note that you can install all communication systems with your own hands, since the option of arranging a one-story house from the point of view of engineering is not only cheaper, but also easier compared to a multi-story building.
Further operation and repair of the house on the 1st floor is easier. In this case, a double benefit is expected: reducing costs not only for construction, but also for further operation of the erected structure.
Projects of one-story residential buildings do not provide for the construction of stairs, so the use of living space is more rational. In addition, the lack of a staircase is important if there are children or elderly people in the house, since you do not have to worry about their safety when climbing to the second floor.
It should be borne in mind that the project of a one-story residential building is developed taking into account the psychological component. Such a layout involves bringing people together, creating a sense of unity. This is especially important when there are children in the house.
What are the disadvantages of the option of a typical one-story house
Each structure or design scheme has some disadvantages. Even if they do not cause damage to the structure, such features are still worth familiarizing with. There are only two points:
- Sometimes during the design of one-story houses there are some difficulties, including the layout. With a large area of the house, sometimes a variant of residential premises of a passage type appears - those that can only be accessed through the next room. This is not too convenient.
- Having decided on the design of a typical residential building, get ready for the large costs of covering the building and equipping the roof due to the fact that it occupies a large area around the perimeter.
What is the benefit of a one-floor model house project
Those who are going to build a one-story house, hiring a construction team or doing it with their own hands, should pay attention to some advantages of this kind of construction:
- Convenience to life. If the area of the plot allows you to better build a one-story house with a larger area than cramped in several floors.
- This is the most economical housing option. If the area of a one-story house project does not exceed 100 m².
- Attractive construction cost.
- The opportunity to purchase a turnkey project of the considered type of buildings. So you get a quality building in a short time with minimal costs and without the risks that sometimes arise during the construction of real estate of any nature.
In any case, you can contact a specialist to develop an individual project or, through cooperation with a company, buy a ready-made one that meets all the requirements for ergonomics and home comfort on the part of the client-buyer.
