At the moment when you decide on the way to build your home, it is very important that you express your needs and desires already in the project assignment, which of course depend on your lifestyle habits. The decision can be influenced by regulations, both national and local. You need to refer to the municipal spatial plan, which will give you guidelines about the possibilities, but also the limitations in construction. The characteristics of the plot you own, the influence of climate characteristics, the existing infrastructure, etc., are important. Your personal influence concerns the speed of construction, the desired architecture, the choice of energy class of the building and the financial framework.

We cannot influence external natural factors, but we certainly expect a balanced and controlled environment from the living space. The facility must provide protection against external influences, even when it comes to extreme ones, such as storms, hail, earthquakes, floods, avalanches, etc.

There are huge differences in the choice of construction. A wooden house is produced in a factory and the manufacturer himself assembles it on the construction site. Some of the manufacturers will offer you ready-made solutions, so-called. standard houses, while some will design and/or manufacture a house according to your personal wishes.

Brick-built houses have a different construction process. You will always need to coordinate work with multiple contractors, which makes it harder to control the quality of both the work and the materials. Most often, as an investor, you will have to take on the role of coordinator and supervisor. Most problems arise at the junctions between different contractors. The painter will criticize the finished walls, the window installer will claim they are uneven, the tiler will have complaints about the floors, and so on, all the way to the installation of utilities and interior doors. What you end up with are headaches and unexpected costs.

The truth is that brick-built houses have a longer tradition and, unjustifiably, greater trust from investors. However, since the time when sand, cement, lime, iron, wood, and glass were the primary known and used materials, the range of available materials has become much more diverse. This can make your choice more difficult, and you also need to pay close attention to the quality of everything available today. That is why you need a reliable contractor and special attention to high-quality thermal insulation, which will bring you the greatest savings in energy consumption, high living quality, and prevent moisture and mold.

In the production of wooden houses, properly dried and treated wood is used, ensuring protection against fungi, insects, and pests. These houses are characterized by high energy efficiency, as well as fast construction, long lifespan, and a guarantee on the completed work. Price, construction time, and quality are likely the key factors in your decision-making process – and prefabricated houses have the advantage in all these aspects. Your task is to find a trustworthy manufacturer with proven quality in production and assembly.
