building a house

when we plan to build a house we must consider many factors.these are the financial capability, location, the size of the family, the design of the house, the beliefs of the people who will dwell in it. these things are very important. there are houses built which do not serve the purposes of the dwellers, which made the lives of the dwellers miserable. they may be too small for the family or they may be too big for the family.

financial capability is very important because if one started building a house and his money is not enough to finish a house then the money used to build the unfinished house is wasted. the house is not habitable. the money should have been used for something necessary for the family. in some cases, it is wise to rent an apartment.

the location of the house is very important. a house very far from place of work is not good. it is very expensive to commute. but if the bread earner is working abroad then it is okay to build a house far from workplace.to be considered here are the people living in it. if there are children, then it must be near the school and if possible near the market. other things to consider are the place prone to earthquake,typhoon and flood or is it near a volcano or is it prone to landslide. by these, accidents and disasters can be lessen.

the design of the house is also important. a house build with less details can be economical than a house build with so many decorations which are not needed by the dwellers. the construction materials are very important. example is wood, the price of one kind may be expensive than the other kind but the expensive one is durable then the better wood must be used. the house will last. a low ceiling house is very hot during midday. here the expenses is on the consumption of electricity because the dwellers continuously use electric fans. a house with small windows permit less air which is very important for the health of the family.

the beliefs of the dwellers must be also considered. if the dwellers believe in feng sui then the construction of the house must be based on feng sui. if the dwellers do not care of any belief then the construction can be done in any way.
