6 INNOVATIVE WAYS OF CUTTING OFF BUILDING COST.

Every home owner would really like to have a good house that won’t cost them heavily. The following are six innovative techniques that you can use to minimize the building cost;

Engage professionals throughout your construction process.

This is one of the ways you can cut off your construction cost by engaging professionals for instant, Architects, Quantity Surveyors, and Engineers. These professionals will advise you on how best to carry out your object from the actual planning to implementation.

Choose a relatively standard size for your house.

Use even numbers like; 0, 2,4,6,8 to minimize wastage of resources. Do away with extra rooms that will barely be used by your family. Reduce the number of windows and doors to cut off construction expenditure.

Go for popular/common building materials that have high rate of supply.

These materials are less expensive and have high rate of supply. Alternatively, you can do away with unnecessary features that will cost you handsomely. Using common materials doesn’t necessarily mean that your house will not be appealing. As long as you have a professional Architect you are absolutely good to go. On the other hand, opting for expensive and unique materials does not guarantee you having a good house in the long run especially when you did not engage professionals.

Consider building a Multistory house. 

Taller houses will tend to have equal amount of living space. However, the roof and the house’s foundation will be smaller. Subsequently, this will save money that would have been used to buy extra roofing sheets. Plumbing and ventilation costs are also cheaper in multistory building.

Avoid complicated roofing designs.

Although roofing is the ultimate design highlight that draws most attention, there’s need to avoid using complicated roofing designs. Complicated ones will cost you heavily so as to achieve exactly what you want. Go for gable roofs which are cheaper and therefore doesn’t require additional framing.

Select simple floor plan.

Choose either square or rectangular floor plans because they’re believed to be simple. Corners and angles enable you to utilize materials efficiently. Complex shapes are extremely expensive and difficult to construct as well. Rectangular or square floor plans are very affordable because extra work and equipment for curved walls is not needed.
