Building a cottage from scratch

Building a cottage from scratch with your own hands is not as difficult as it may seem. The first thing you need to start is to choose the right land that you are supposed to be used for construction. It is desirable that the place of its location was a village or the outskirts of the city, because then you will be given the legal right to use all the communications necessary for life: electricity, gas, water, sewage. In addition, you will be required to obtain information about the depth of the waters, so that later you will have the opportunity to build a well, which will become a source of drinking water, if suddenly the water comes from a malfunction through the central water supply system.

The design of the house and the construction of the fence

As in the construction of any building, the beginning of the work should be the design of the house and the construction of the fence. Properly drafted project will allow the correct calculation of the required amount of building materials, as well as the distribution of communications on the site and in the house itself. You can purchase a finished project that was previously in operation and was tested by time. In such projects, all possible shortcomings have long been eliminated, and therefore you will have nothing to worry about. In addition, you will need to obtain a building permit in order to avoid paying a fine.

There are three options for building a house from scratch:

1. Contact the construction company
2. Hire a private team of builders
3. Perform the work yourself

 

Choosing the options

Of course, you can choose any of the existing options, but the first option is the most reliable, involving contacting a construction company. First of all, such organizations carry out turnkey construction, so that you will have absolutely nothing to worry about, just expect to complete the work. In addition, guarantees will be given to you, since cooperation with any officially registered company, whether it is a construction organization, repair or interior design studio, implies signing a contract for the provision of services.

Hire workers

If you decide to hire private workers, this does not mean that they will perform their duties worse. Often these teams consist of excellent masters, but, in any case, it is better to choose them based on the recommendations of friends. In this situation, you will have to choose materials for construction and finishing yourself, unlike the previous version, when this responsibility falls on the shoulders of the company.
