How to Build on a Budget for Individual Homes:Building a home is usually an uphill task and proves to be daunting. There are numerous shortcomings associated with it, which drills holes in our pockets. There are a few options to be considered which reduce construction cost and help fit in the budget. Building contractors and Architects in Bangalore suggest some of the methodologies shown below that can significantly bring down cost and also lead to better home owning experience.
AAC Blocks
AAC (Autoclaved Aerated Concrete) Blocks are a superlative surrogate of the traditional bricks used for construction. AAC is three times lighter compared to the conventional red brick essentially reducing the overall load. Consecutively, lower load establishes the lower usage of cement and steel which is in fact monetarily beneficial. AAC blocks are very convenient to administer, can be easily aligned and cut. AAC blocks are available in large statures and fewer joints hence paving reduced masonry and quicker installation.
Benefits of AAC Blocks:
GFRG
GFRG (Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum) panels are manufactured using Phosphogypsum which is a waste product from the fertilizer industry and reinforced using glass fiber. These panels are precast in the manufacturing unit, transported to the construction site and erected with the aid of cranes. They weigh less than precast concrete panels reducing the deadweight of the entire structure resulting in lower construction cost. They drastically cut down Construction cost and duration.
Benefits of GFRG:
Turnkey Contract
Look out for Turnkey Contracting Firms, preferably an Architect led Design-Build, where the team is led by an Architect and all your design and build grievances are met at a single approach by providing you an end-to-end service. So no more miscommunication between the architect and the contractor providing barely minimum change orders and rework. This, in turn, reduces the cost of construction as there is very less confusion between the various entities involved in the process and easy for maintenance in the long run. It not only saves a decent amount of money but also, makes sure there is no dashing from pillar to post.
Terracotta Hollow BlocksTerracotta hollow blocks may be used in the internal partition walls. They have a characteristic thickness of 100m which provides more carpet area and are very efficient, durable and very cost effective. They are comparatively lighter than conventional materials, there is no requirement of plastering and painting for the walls is directly proportional to a reduction on the structural cost and quicker project delivery.
