How much does it cost to build a house

How much it costs to build a house, how to calculate the budget


Thinking about building a house, it is very important to understand how much this undertaking will cost. At the same time, an exact calculation is very important. After all, if there is not enough money to build a house, then the project will have to be frozen. And this often leads to unfinished. That is, the money will be thrown to the wind - there will be neither the house nor the funds allocated for it. Therefore, you need to know in advance how much it costs to build a house so that, if necessary, find additional sources of financing or limit yourself to a smaller house.

What affects the cost of construction.
Let's try to determine what affects the cost of building a house:

Relief plot. If the site is not even, or is on a hillside, then it is clear that prior to the start of construction, preliminary alignment of the site may be required, and this will cause additional costs for the work and rental of special equipment;
Soil properties. Soils are different, such as subsidence, or with a high level of groundwater, etc. All this may require the construction of special foundations, which will also lead to higher construction costs. For more information about the features of different soils, see the article Soil Properties "Soil Properties";
Accessibility plot. Depending on the distance to the city, the complexity of the entrance to the site will be set the price for the delivery of building materials;
The size of the house. It is clear that the larger the area of ​​the house you are planning to build, the more expensive it will be. To determine what size to build a house, you will help the article "What kind of house is needed";
Project price of the house.
Choosing a project, it should be noted that the finished project is cheaper than an individual one, and the quality is not worse.

The cost of used building materials;
The cost of engineering communications. For laying gas networks, connecting to electric networks or city water mains, it is necessary to order technical conditions, make a special project, attract additional labor.
As you can see, each construction project requires separate calculations, because many factors affect the cost of construction.
How to determine the cost of construction.

Determine the cost of construction allows estimates. The estimate is a document consisting of calculating the cost of construction work and calculating the quantity and cost of the necessary materials. How does the estimate look you can see here

Before construction begins, an estimate is made for the construction of a so-called “box” of a house. A “box” is a house without finishing, windows, doors and engineering communications. A “box” consists of a foundation, walls, ceilings and a roof.

It makes no sense to consider the exact cost of finishing, prior to construction. The cost of interior decoration of houses of the same area may differ by an order of magnitude. During the construction of the box can change as the price of materials, and your views on the cost of interior decoration.

How much does it cost to build a house? Let’s figure it out:

We have compiled a huge number of estimates for the construction of houses of various sizes. Below are examples of the cost of "boxes" of several houses of different sizes from different materials.

The cost of construction of frame houses on the so-called "Canadian" technology:

The calculation was made taking into account the fact that the construction site was located 30 km from Kiev.

The total cost of the house at the prices of May 2016 is 25.3 thousand dollars. This includes the cost of building materials (13.6) and the work itself (11.7). The house consists of a reinforced concrete foundation, the wall is a wooden frame with insulation, wooden floors, shingles are used for the roof, the inner surface of the walls is sheathed with gypsum board, and the outside is covered with siding.

Including, 8.3 thousand for building materials and 3.2 thousand for work. The cost of construction is given without finishing works and prices for windows. Monolithic reinforced concrete tape foundations, walls - CIP panels, inner wall is wooden frame, wooden floors, roofing is pitched, roofing - wavy asbestos-cement sheets (slate). The cost is given without the cost of windows, as well as finishing - external and internal! The estimate is calculated in 2016. You can familiarize yourself with this project by clicking here.

li, roof - shingles. Exterior finish - front brick. Cost is shown without windows, with external facing with bricks and insulation. Without interior decoration. More information about the project can be seen here.

Summary.

Having a plot of land and picking up a suitable project, you can try to determine the possible cost of construction.

Consider that the cost of a turnkey house is influenced by many factors, the cost of engineering systems, finishing works, etc. In our experience, we can say that the cost of a turnkey house, roughly, 2 times the cost of building a box.
