How To Build A House With Less Than 100K Budget

With the high economic times, you might be wondering how you can build a and inexpensive home without interfering with its safety, comfort, and beauty. Worry no more! In this article, we are going to give you some tips on who you can build your home with a low budget

Build small

Use recycled materials

By using recycled material for your house, you will not only be saving costs but also saving the environment from pollution.

If you are under a tight budget, going for materials such as sawdust, cement composites, recycled steel or bamboo can be a good idea. You can also go for second-hand building materials.

Get cheap building lots

Cheap building lots are not as cheap as you would imagine. Building expenditure can rise if your contractor has to excavate, clear bushes, or establish extended drainage.

Know the cost of fixing public services. If you can, go for lots in areas that have access to water and electricity.

Go up

Instead of building a single-story house that takes a lot of space, consider building a story building.

Taller houses have the same amount of living space but their foundation and roof are smaller. Plumbing and room ventilation are also cheaper in taller buildings.

Choose simple floor plans

Houses with complex shapes are difficult and expensive to build. You should, therefore, chose simple floor plans like square or rectangular ones. You should also avoid building houses with sophisticated rooflines if you are under a tight budget.

Labor costs

Those you can not build a whole house by yourself, you can take up some job at the construction site to reduce the amount of money you would have used in labor.
