Building a house is still expensive – engineer reveals 5 obscure things that could save money

Velburg.

Rising construction costs are driving many builders to despair. Every decision has an impact on the budget and it is often the unclear factors that cost unexpected money. Finding savings opportunities without compromising the quality of the house will be a big challenge.

Most of the time you only think about big savings, but often it’s the little things that make the difference. From the right time of the order to efficient logistics – there are many hidden savings opportunities. In this article you will learn 5 obscure factors that could save money.

1. Choose building physics and architects carefully

Anyone who builds a house must hire competent experts with a high level of experience, such as energy consultants, building physicists and architects. The right strategy here is not to commit too early and instead send the building requirements to different architectural and construction physics offices to compare prices. This is one of the most important points of all and should be addressed with plenty of time.

2. Get and compare offers

Many people planning to build a house directly decide on a particular construction method and contact relevant suppliers for design. However, construction companies often specialize in a particular type of construction. However, it is not always wise to commit so early. Instead, it is advisable to consult an independent architect who will make a design plan without stats and concrete construction methods. This planning can be the basis for approaching construction companies.

To be flexible, one should get different offers and compare the prices. If different construction methods are considered, the price range is much wider, as there are different competitive conditions depending on the construction method. This creates a much greater potential for cost savings.

3. Make use of deviations from the norm in private houses

There is a wide range of legal regulations and standards for building construction. What many people don’t know, however, is that not all standards apply to private properties. Private developers are therefore much less dependent on such regulations than public providers. Here it is important to use the area wisely, because the financial burden can be reduced here as well.

4. Choose products and materials carefully

Another area where costs can best be saved is without compromising the quality of construction materials and products. Because it is not at all necessary to always rely on the most expensive material. Instead, second-choice products and products offer many benefits. It is often difficult for laymen to distinguish them from first-choice products, but they are much cheaper to buy. It can also be a good idea to ask suppliers about their remaining stocks, which are usually sold at lower prices. A little research and investment of time in finding such offers can reduce the costs significantly.

5. Design the ventilation system properly

An important issue when building a house is the ventilation system. In this context, attention should be paid to the Building Energy Act, which usually requires the installation of ventilation systems. Nevertheless, with the help of an experienced consultant, it is certainly possible to deviate from the legal requirements in individual cases and refuse to install a ventilation system. There are also differences in the choice of system that affects construction costs. Sometimes a centralized solution isn’t necessary, and a decentralized system offers a cheaper alternative that still ensures plenty of convenience.
