Reconstruction is, first of all, a change in the architectural appearance and (or) style solution of the house based on the existing construct, and the addition or removal of its elements should be considered, rather, as one of the ways to balance the functionality and aesthetics of the future structure.
The reasons and motives encouraging people to take up the reconstruction of existing houses many. With rare exceptions, they are economic in nature. For example, inherited, noted, but still solid, the house has dilapidated and requires cosmetic repairs. Considerable costs, troubles, inconvenience for the new owners are already provided. At the same time, they are not satisfied with the morally outdated style and uncomfortable layout of the house. The hostess, instead of a low -functional dark attic, wants to have a cozy attic, and the owner always dreamed of a warm garage attached to the house.
Is it right, in general, to spend money on «cosmetics», or should you seriously think about buying or building a new house? Maybe, however, in this case, the most reasonable solution is worth the reconstruction. Indeed, given that more than half of the costs of construction make up the costs of the installation of the foundation and load -bearing walls, demolish them and build again, at least, irrationally. You can get even more benefit by reconstruction of the housing acquired in the secondary market.
In recent years, the market for suburban housing has undergone significant changes. The more and more share of it is occupied by the purchase and sale transactions of the so-called «non-construction». Remember in the post-perestroika 90s faceless brick boxes captured all the suburbs. At that time, he did not invest in construction, perhaps only one who had nothing to invest. Buying of plots for development acquired a massive nature. Cottages blinded according to primitive projects grew like mushrooms after rain. Magazines are full of «profitable» offers for sales of houses «for finishing»…
The euphoria ended quickly, — and already, a small demand for such objects fell, almost to zero, as soon as serious architectural and construction companies entered the market of country housing. Now an increasing number of homeowners who built their «masterpieces» in those years, never finding their «creations», put them up for sale in a catchy price.
For a potential buyer, this is a chance to acquire a good plot of land, albeit at the current market price, but, with capital walls, the foundation, and often communications — for a third of their real value. In some cases, even taking into account considerable costs for the reconstruction of the house, such a purchase will be not just economically justified, but very, profitable. So, you thought about a possible reconstruction. It is “possible”, because your ideas about the price of the issue, and the most technical possibility of its implementation, can be, to put it mildly, erroneous.
Due to the specifics of the process, it is unlikely that the invitation of the Shabashnikov brigade is about to be invited.
Firstly, only an experienced expert estate can give a conclusion about the current state of structures of the house.
Secondly, to make not just a beautiful, but technically competent project, you need an architect who has experience of such a job. Finally, only builders of high qualifications can correctly make and bring into life correctly.
A universal solution for you is to contact a specialized construction company, the range of services of which covers all of the above. Indeed, it seems very reasonable at least the fact that experts giving expert assessment, on the basis of their own recommendations and calculations, will subsequently carry out design, installation and finishing work at the facility.
