If you are thinking of building a house, this is a summary of the best tips we have in the Plan Reform Blog. Let's start reading!

First: Choose the terrain well

The first thing you will have to find is the land where you want to build. At a constructive level, although "everything can be done" the more flat the land, the easier it will be to design the project, and the more economical the excavation will come out. The shape of the land, when more rectangular or square, also helps to optimize the square footage of the house. Finally, take into account both orientation and sunning, that is, if there is a mountain that can take your sun off in winter, when the shadows are longer or some other dwelling. In fact it is always more advisable to buy the land in winter, in order to see the worst of times.It is also important to know the prevailing winds. A house that constantly has a wind flow (we are not referring to a pleasant breeze) can be a comfort problem in the future.

Project of an architect

Once you have bought the land, the following is to get in touch with an architect so that he can do the project to build your future new home. It is important that you go to see it with the clear ideas of what your needs are, but with an open mind to proposals of both design and distribution: Many times you think you are so clear what you want you to miss more interesting options than you You had thought. After all, they are architects for something...

This phase is long and requires several tests, so the better you can specify your needs, the better the architect can do his job. It is important to invest time in the project phase, before launching to start the works, because the more defined this whole, the budget can be more accurate, and less work delays will appear due to project modifications, nor extra costs during these.

Work license

Once you have defined the project, you just have to take the project to the town hall to request the corresponding works license. The architect himself usually helps you with this procedure. The time and costs of the license vary from one municipality to another.

Search construction companies

Within the architect's project are some measurements of the work. Ideally, give the same project (plans + measurements) to several builders so that they all budget based on the same. With STIMAT, for example, the architect can prepare the budget and send it to the builders so they can pass a price. So you can review it together (if you have hired that part to the architect) and decide which construction company will do the work for you.

Sign the contract and budget

In a reform work, a contract is not usually signed, but in a larger work, such as the construction of a house, it is more advisable to sign it so that there are no scares. It is also highly recommended to pay for certification. With STIMATpay, you can automate the management of payments to your contractor safely.

Duration of works to build a house

The approximate duration of building a house is usually around 12-18 months, between the beginning of the excavations and the final review of the works. But think that before you will have to ask for the works license and before that, do the project, so you should count 2 years, from the beginning of the planning of your work to build your house.
