From what to build a cottage?

Own cottage is a dream of many townspeople. If earlier to get the necessary amount of building materials was a difficult task, today it is not difficult to acquire them. The question of how to build a cottage, or rather, of what is usually the first and most important for those who have become the owner of an empty piece of land, or when the existing house is no longer suitable for comfortable living.

Of course, if you have enough funds and if you do not have the necessary skills, the best solution will be to contact one of the numerous construction companies that are constructing low-rise private houses "on a turn-key basis." The advantages of this option are many. Starting with the fact that the company's specialists will be able to correctly and correctly calculate the number of all necessary materials, take into account the features of the soil, climate and operation of the house. You will not need to worry about buying and delivering everything you need, but you will only have to control the construction time, and upon its completion you will enter the cottage that is completely ready for living.

If you prefer to build your country residence or purchase materials yourself, you will need to prepare for a sufficiently large-scale work, starting with the selection and preparation of the construction site, ending with the calculations, selection and delivery of materials and tools to the site. Moreover, it is necessary to provide for supply of electricity, as well as a water supply and sewerage system. We will not stop at this stage in detail. Consider only the material of the walls from which the cottage will be built. After all, it depends on how comfortable a suburban housing will be.

For dacha construction, modern manufacturers are ready to offer a huge number of building materials. You can build a cottage out of the beam or choose your choice on a more practical panel structure. Often use traditional brick or more modern lightweight and durable foam blocks. Each of these materials has its advantages and disadvantages.

Aerated concrete and foam blocks are the optimal solution for economical construction. They are not as heavy as, for example, wooden beams, they are easy to transport, and the process of erecting the foundation and walls will not take much time. However, they can break down under strong mechanical action. But it is unlikely that you are going to test the walls of your country house with a sledgehammer or other destructive tools.

Brick - a universal material that is easy to buy, deliver. It is not only very durable, but also able to keep the heat perfectly, while in hot weather the air inside the room will remain cool. The brick is fireproof, unlike wooden materials, which will allow you not to worry about a possible accidental ignition of the structure.

A frame house is an ideal solution for those who want to quickly and inexpensively build on a country plot. The technology for erecting such buildings is quite simple: on the foundation, prefabricated structures are installed that can withstand the impacts of virtually any natural factors. They easily tolerate severe Russian winters, they do not deform and remain in their original form.
