How to select a house design and factors to consider

 

When a developer agrees that its possible to build, several factors to be considered when selecting a suitable house plan is the land location, that is the topography, is it level or sloping.For sloppy terrain it wold be advisable to have a basement.Basements allow new space to be created instead of damping whole foundations the height of a house in the ground to make up for levels.Flat areas have minimal foundation depths into the soil.

Other factors to consider in a house design available resources since without funds it would be difficult to commence the project.Its also important to know that for many rooms created the higher the cost of construction.An economical design is one which provides maximum usage for the amount of money used.A storeyed building is cost effective since the roof and foundations utilized are the same as the one covering ground and first floor.

Also interesting to note is the shape when selecting a house design.Regular shapes like square are more economical than rectangular or circular shapes.For a square room, the perimeter and area is same for four by four, a two by six will have perimeter of sixteen and area of twelve feet respectively.But also note that the situation on the ground is what determines the shape of the house.What is important always is the funds available and use of the house.

Another factor to consider is the number of rooms.More rooms are more economical in a house design than fewer rooms.A one bedroom bungalow’s cost could on average be more expensive than a three bedroom bungalow.This is because the three bedroom doesn’t have three kitchens bathrooms and three stores.The three bedroom is occupied by more people but using the same facilities like bathrooms and kitchen same as the one bedroom unit.
