How can I save money on construction: 12 tips
If you are just dreaming about a house or have already started a construction project, listen to the advice of the happy owners of suburban real estate. Their practical recommendations will help you save on construction.
There are many ways to save money on construction. Let's consider those of them that do not contradict the letter of the law and can be applied by any person who has started the construction of a building.
1. Reconsider the need to build a large house. Often the owners of houses regret that they erected a building with too large an area: it turned out that there was no need for it. In addition, it requires additional seasonal heating costs.
2. Buy a typical house project. From the many offers, you will surely choose the right option, which will cost more than one hundred dollars cheaper.
3. Build a house without a basement, if you need it "just in case". A concrete screed with insulation will cost less than a lot of floor slabs.
4. Immediately provide a good check-in for special equipment. Otherwise, you will have to pay for the services of movers more than once.
5. Independently perform a number of works. For example, you can dig a trench under the foundation on your own: even people who are ignorant of construction issues can do this. For more complex work, hire local specialists: their services are often cheaper than those of Minsk residents.
6. Find lower prices for materials. If you search, then, for example, you can buy two or more times cheaper roofing screws, doborniki for the roof, insulation, etc. Attractive prices are most often offered by suppliers and manufacturers. Another option is to buy material directly at the factory (minplites, etc.), which according to the documents is considered a marriage, but in reality it may differ from a more expensive analogue only in non–standard sizes. As for lumber, they can be purchased cheaper at the local forestry, and sawing and pruning can be done at the factory. Finally, consider the time of year: some materials purchased in the "off-season", will allow you to save quite a lot.
7. Purchase used boards, boards, pallets for formwork. They are much cheaper than edged boards, since often these materials are simply taken out as construction debris. For formwork, such boards and shields will have to be adjusted in size, but they are quite suitable for this work in terms of quality.
8. Make a rough floor from used or substandard materials (boards, expanded polystyrene, etc.).
9. Do not throw sand out of the trench. It can be useful, for example, for mixing concrete.
10. Control the builders according to the project estimate. Calculate the actual amount of work done and declared by the builders, as well as the correspondence of the amount in the checks with the cash issued on hand (if the materials are purchased by the builders).
11. Do not be afraid to defend your rights and demand compensation for money or redoing works if they are made by builders with defects. The savings here are conditional, but the quality of work will be at the proper level.
12. Clean up construction debris yourself (pieces of bricks, blocks, boards, etc.). Not all specialists do this work for free: often, several tens of dollars are asked for the 1st floor of cleaning.
