The most important thing before embarking on the process of building a private house is examining whether one has the economic means to cover the entire expenditure. Financial planning is a key to success in many processes, most surely when building a private house.

When realizing the dream of a private house, one often sails off into unrealistic dreams. Financial planning stabilizes the boat and leads the project to a haven. In order to begin examining the possibility of building a private house, it is important to understand the composition of the overall pricing, in order to assess the ability to meet the financial demands of executing the project.

Cost Components in Building a Private Home

* Buying a plot – Buying the land to build a private house on is the first and most significant component. The price range is very wide and depends on geographical location, size, land type and more. An integral part of purchasing the area for construction is of course obtaining a building permit, so that the development phase can begin.

* Development taxes and levies – Beyond the building permit expenses, there are a number of different levies that the local authority charges for the construction of a private house in its territory. Usually, these levies are calculated during the building permit stage. These are levies for road construction, sewage and plumbing, open public spaces and so on. The levies can be for both the plot of land itself and the built-up area. Each local authority sets its own levies, and one must check the cost when preparing the economic plan for the entire project.

* Construction of the skeleton frame of the building and plot development – Another important component is the total cost of plot development works and the construction of the skeleton frame itself. This refers to walls, floors, balconies, interior landings and more. The price of building the skeleton frame varies, of course, depending on the chosen method of construction – traditional or prefabricated – and the corollary prices of construction materials, the amount of manpower required, the type of foundations and more.

* The costs of the final stage – After completing the work on the skeleton frame, begins the work on the final stage. Sealing and insulation, paintjobs, aluminum works, electricity and communications, plumbing etc. The costs of these are determined by the type of materials and quality of work, and necessarily vary from project to project.

* The costs of the contents of the building – Personal taste has a great effect on the contents of the building. Interior design, furniture, kitchen, lighting fixtures and so on, are factors that are entirely dependent on the personal taste of the tenants and of course their financial ability, therefore it is difficult to make a general calculation in this area.

Largely, after calculating the costs of the contents, one can say that the main aspects of calculating the costs of building a private home are covered. However, it is important to know that there are still additional expenses to consider, such as various insurances, assessment services, opening a mortgage portfolio and various tax payments.

The prefabricated construction method has been gaining momentum in recent years with more and more people realizing that prefabricated construction is a high quality, faster and significantly cheaper solution than the traditional method.

Erecting a construction using the prefabricated construction method has several main stages. The first two stages actually resemble the traditional method of construction.

The first stage is obtaining building permits and licenses in accordance with the law.  Although these are usually portable buildings, the law still requires building permits arranged. Therefore, after deciding to carry out a project featuring prefabricated construction, the architect’s construction plan has to be submitted to the relevant local authority for approval.

After obtaining all necessary permits, the second stage of prefabricated construction can begin, which is the foundations and infrastructure phase. This stage too is reminiscent of traditional construction, as there is no other way to connect to urban infrastructures such as water, sewage, electricity and various communication lines.

Start Building Using Prefabricated Construction

The differences of the prefabricated construction method begin to manifest themselves from the third stage on. Parallel to preparing the foundations and infrastructure, one can start manufacturing the skeleton frame of the building in the factory.

Prefabricated construction is based on a computerized program. The structure plan is fed into a special computer program, which processes the data and knows how to produce steel rods in the exact measurements required for the structure. These rods make up the skeleton frame of the structure and are connected by special, strong galvanized anchors.

The next step in prefabricated construction is assembling the plasterboards onto the skeleton frame and transporting the building to the construction site. When it reaches its permanent location, it is attached to the pre-prepared foundations. This is the most significant part of the process. Following that, the roof chosen by the clients is assembled. All types of roofs can be used in prefabricated construction.

The next step is connecting to the already prepared infrastructures. There are, in the factory-prepared structure, pre-prepared apertures for threading in electrical wires, water pipes, communication lines, etc.

In order to finish the prefabricated construction process, two other important actions must be taken – cladding and insulation. You can choose different types of cladding for the interior and exterior walls of the building, the most common of which are thick Ytong blocks (between 50 and 70 mm). To complete the process, the insulation materials are inserted between the building frame and the cladding panels. Different types of insulation materials, such as rock wool, tin foil or acoustic insulation sheeting can be used, according to customer needs and budget constraints.

Prefabricated construction is a field of specialty in the construction industry. It has many advantages over the classic construction method, and in order to use it most proficiently, it is highly important to address professionals with rich experience in the field.

The advanced construction system is no longer new, but it certainly experiences a very significant boom over the past decade and is becoming increasingly central to the construction industry throughout the Western world in general and in Israel in particular.

Canada, the U.S. and Australia are the world’s leading countries in the field of advanced construction, but in recent years Western Europe and Israel have been increasingly joining the trend of reducing the scope of construction in the traditional method, and continually and increasingly using advanced and prefabricated construction.

The advanced construction method has many advantages that made it so popular, but more than any specific advantage, it is important to understand that this is a profound conceptual change. The conservative concept is replaced by a new, fresh, client-customized one.

Construction with blocks is disappearing, and prefabricated construction with durable, high-quality steel skeleton frames is replacing it gradually and decisively.

Advanced Construction of Private Homes

Apartment prices and housing shortages are leading consumers to constantly search for creative solutions. The advanced construction industry perfectly meets this criterion.

One of the important advantages of advanced construction is cost savings. The price of a private house featuring advanced construction is lower than the price of a private house built by traditional construction. Beyond saving costs during construction, it is also a long-term saving, as advanced construction allows you to save thousands of shekels annually on heating and cooling costs.

Another important advantage of advanced construction when building a private house is the pace of construction. A great amount of time is saved when using advanced construction. The construction of a private house can be completed in a period of four to five months, compared to about a year and a half in the traditional construction process.

The advanced construction process boasts another advantage that customers are very fond of, namely Key Contractor. Advanced construction contractors offer the Key Contractor Method, providing the customer with close guidance through all the stages – planning, construction etc. – until the moment the keys are in your hand and you move into the house. This way, at any given moment, our customers have a direct line to explanations, assistance and various instructions, making easier a process that is considered very complex.

Therefore, one can see that the world of construction is taking huge steps towards advanced construction. One can assume that this trend will grow stronger in the coming years, in public and commercial construction as well as in the construction of private houses.
