Everyone dreams of having a house. However, building your house is not as easy as it seems to be. There is a lot of effort you need to put in while constructing your house. You need to figure out the Budget, Plot selection, Team selection for the construction process and a well-defined plan which suits your requirement.
Here, we have created an essential checklist you need to ponder before building a house:
Budget Preparation: The first step to start the construction process of the house is to prepare a budget. To prepare a budget, two main points must be kept in mind
- If there is already a plot to start construction
- If the plot is to be purchased for the construction.
Keeping both things in mind, we should have budget availability. At the time of preparing a budget in addition to the cost of the plot following cost of construction (Tentative) per square feet can be considered.
- Superior construction INR 1600 Per square feet
- Economy Construction INR 1200 Per square feet
- Low-cost Construction INR 900 Per square feet
Selection of the Plot
The primary step for building a house is selecting the right plot. For that, you need to keep a few things in mind.
- Determine where the plot will be and what will be its size?
- How much budget are you planning for the plot?
- How far are the basic facilities around the plot such as hospital, school, market etc.?
Whether the facilities provided by the government such as electricity, water, drainage, sewer, etc. are available in the plot area?
- Plots falling within the limits of the Municipal Corporation or Municipality will reduce such problems.
- Certain legal matters such as whether the person selling the plot, broker or agent are authorized while purchasing the land
- With the help of a lawyer, make sure that all the previous deals of the plot are clear and whether the paper is correct or not.
Team Selection for House construction Process
A whole team works while construction and its selection are very important. First of all, you need an Architect/Engineer. if you know someone, you can hire his services or a Service Engineer of Prism Cement can also provide the list of registered architects and engineers.
After this, you need an authorized dealer of Prism Cement or a shopkeeper who can deliver the materials used in construction to your site. You can contact other service providers like contractors, plumbers, electricians, painters etc. also with the help of your Architect or Engineer, service engineer of Prism Cement or authorized Dealer of Prism Cement.
Preparing the House Plans
You can get the map prepared with the help of an Architect/Engineer depending upon your plot size, area, location and orientation so that the circulation of air and natural light is available in your house. After getting the map prepared as per your requirement you need to get it approved by a competent government authority where your Architect /Engineer can also help.
Tentative sizes for your information are
- Drawing room 100 Square feet
- Bedroom 100 Square feet
- Kitchen 50 square feet
- Bathroom 20 Square feet
These are tentative sizes for ideation purposes which can be increased or decreased based on your requirement or plot size.
Conclusion
Budget preparation and selection of the plot are significant steps before beginning the construction of your house and it requires a lot of research, patience and various factual information. Therefore, it is suggested to invest enough time in these two steps.
