This article follows my previous introduction into building your own house and the factors influencing the decisions to build as opposed to buying an already built house.
As seen earlier, decisions around the construction of one's house will have far reaching and long lasting consequences. As such, it is paramount to take all the time possible to research into the underlying issues as far as this is concerned. One of the factors to consider is where you are going to construct your house. This is exactly where you wish to settle your family and to spend the rest of your days. It follows, then, that the selection of this place should be carefully thought out and all the available options clearly sifted through to get the most appropriate.
Due to the costs involved, most prospective home owners like to phase the process. This starts by buying land. Plots are getting scarce each day and as such their prices are ever soaring. It gets worse if you are looking for it in an affluent neighborhood. One way of circumventing these price hikes is by following speculative trends. New areas are opening up every day for development. There are various reasons for this, for example; • Expansion of infrastructure • Decentralization • Leasing of government land for private usage • Political & Administrative delineation e.t.c
All these factors will lead to new developments coming up. It only requires your quick action to own a piece before it becomes famous and untouchable.
It is important to note that the location may be affordable but not appropriate for other reasons. One of these reasons may be the social orientation of the area. A simple example is where you may find yourself in the middle of the middle class and standout as the only high class family, making your family alien. You may also end up in an area with people of the other religious following. Your children will soon start picking up strange mannerisms. It might also prove hard for you to find your usual snack in the store next door. Other locations may be insecure or with poor infrastructure. A good example is where there is no piped water or electricity available. Also to consider is the geographical history of an area. An area with volcanic history could be dangerous to build.
Another very important factor is the condition of the actual plot. While all the neighborhood and environmental elements may be favorable, ground conditions may hinder the successful construction of your dream home. Some of the issues to consider here include; • Topography • Soil type • Accessibility options • Shape of plot e.t.c
The conditions of a plot as listed affect the constructability of the house in question. A rocky plot, for example, will require heavy plant to excavate and as such will be costly. On the other hand, a waterlogged site will need elaborate ทาวน์โฮมมือสอง ราคาถูก dewatering procedures. In the same way, a poorly linked site without good accessibility may lead to hardships in movement of materials. Remote sites will also require arrangements for the transportation of workers.
The condition of a site will influence design and definitely cost. The location of the site will have both social and environmental implications in addition to cost. Hoping you settle on your ideal site for that dream home.
In the next article, we look at the decision of what type of house to build.
