Tips To Reduce Building Costs by Nobody: 11:31am On Dec 07, 2014 |
This is my first topic on properties section. I want us to contribute on tips to reduce your building cost. I will start with mine. 1. Do your soakaway when you are doing your foundation. Use sand from soakaway to cover the foundation. You can then buy sand to fill up the foundation if you need more sand , then do ur german floor. This will reduce the cost of sand to fill up your foundation. 2.If you are building on a rocky terain like me, sure, the cost is higher. But you can reduce the cost by using the rocks in your house. I dont kow how to explqin this but my ppl call it cracking the stones. Gather the big stones you got while digging ur foundation, call the ppl dt crack stones to crack it for you and use it to build your house. I still have left over from the stone i cracked on my site... Will be using it for the mqin building. 3.Do the roof carcass and ceiling together. if you do ur roof wood works, and later call pl again do he ceiling, the total cost will be higher. 4.For some ppl, the first thing they do in any land they intend to build is sinking borehole or.any oer water source.. The argument is dt since they will later sink borehole, why not sink it first so dt u will cut down on the cost of water during building. Plz add more. 42 Likes 9 Shares |

Another tip i learnt from the builders in this thread is to buy ur granite from the quarry- if you are using granite. You get complete size or tiper bucket from the quarry as against the shortage in measurement by other granite sellers. 1 Like |

The best way to reduce cost is to ensure design is well coordinated and all materials, personnel and sequence of works are well defined before commencement. Abortive works due to poor planning and reworks due to bad quality are the major reasons for cost overruns. 5 Likes |
