Constructing a new house - Part II - Category of different types of persons who construct houses - Cochin contractors

Constructing a new house- 

Part II-

 Category of different types of persons who construct houses

Cochin contractors

House constructed by one individual will be entirely different from the one constructed by another. This difference  happens due to many reasons. The most important reasons for this difference is the financial capacity of the individual who constructs the house and the differences in taste of individuals.

In my opinion the houses that are being constructed these days can be classified broadly into five categories’ based on the expenditure involved in the construction. The first category can be named as low income group. People in this group will not be able to accumulate more than one lakh rupees. For such people a place to take rest and sleep is somehow constructed with two rooms only.  For such houses no architect or contractor is required. The local mastry will be enough to supervise and construct such a house.

The next class can be considered as people who can spare upto two lakhs rupees and by taking a loan from a financial institution they will be able to arrange a total of 5 to 6 lakhs rupees for the construction of the house. For such people a concrete building with 400 to 600 square feet area will be enough.  Such houses may consists of a hall comprising of a drawing room and a dining room, one or two small bedrooms and a kitchen. For this type of house also the role of an architect or a contractor is irrelevant as such houses are constructed based on the already existing houses in the neighborhood.

The next class can be considered as people who can spare three to five lakhs rupees for their house construction and which can further be increased to 10 to 15 lakhs by bank loans, gold loans and help from friends and relatives. This group generally consists of employed people, teachers, merchants etc.  Their dream is to construct a concrete building around 1000 square feet or so.

The next class can be considered as people who can spare five to eight lakhs rupees for their house construction and which can further be increased on 15 to 20 lakhs by bank loan and other financial adjustments. These people include gazette officers, bank employees and other persons engaged in private companies where they get a good salary. They dream of constructing a house of about 1000 to 1300 square feet in area which normally includes a car porch also.

People who go for houses which costs more than 20 lakhs are not considered or categorized here as they are out of the scope of this contractor and hence it is decided that such matter need not be discussed here.

For the third and fourth categories the role of an architect is crucial in designing the house according to the requirements and ambitions of the builder and a contractor’s role is also very important as the builders of this type of houses generally are not willing to take the over burden of building the house under their responsibility.

If you have an architect known to you it will be better if you entrust the work of designing your dream house with him. In that case he will be able to design the house according to your choice and most probably he will know a contractor who can be entrusted the construction work. In a similar way if you know any contractor it is better that you consult the work with him. He will know some architect who has already designed for him.

 Design and estimation of cost of construction

Constructing a home or remodeling an old home to match to the present day requirements and the comforts and passions of the people who are going to live there is an important task which has to be dealt with very cautiously and very carefully so that wastage can be avoided and the wild dreams of the person who is building it can be met to a better level.

In olden days, say about fifty years back or so, building a house was a very rare and unachievable task due to the poor income level of the common public. Only persons born in rich families did have the financial capacity to build a home. Ordinary people lived in ancestral homes as joint family. Usually separate houses were built by each individual family only at a late age of more than fifty or so. As there were more children in each family and as there was no scope of getting a decent employment which helps to earn money and as there was less support from financial institutions like banks, building a home was not even a dream among the common man.

As years rolled down the paraphernalia changed. Number of children in each family was reduced to three or four. Most of them got salaried jobs, even the wages of labourers increased considerably and many persons went to gulf and other foreign  countries were better remuneration was available and many banks also started giving good amount of money as housing loan and repayment period was also extended to fifteen or twenty years. All these factors helped the building construction industry and the people had an opportunity to dream about constructing a home.

Before constructing a house every individual has to consider the financial viability of such an attempt. What is his monthly income, how much amount he can save every month, what are the immediate requirements in the house to be constructed has to be decided first. After having a general idea about all these factors, he can have a general idea about the area of the house he is going to construct and the approximate cost of the building.  When this cost is calculated care has to be taken that the amount so calculated can be met from his personal savings and the loan amount that he may get from a bank. The loan is sanctioned from a bank taking your property as surety and considering your ability to repay the loan amount from your savings from the monthly income which is calculated after reducing the probable monthly expenditure.

If you have a flare for house construction and if you can spend some time for this purpose, it is better that you take up the responsibility of constructing the house by yourself. If you are a person ready to study new techniques and interested in inter action with human beings, it will be a very easy and satisfying task.

If you have a plot of land the first thing to do is to consult an architect and discuss the matter with him. Show him the site and explain clearly how much amount you can spend and what are the minimum requirements you would prefer to be present in the house. After a first meeting with the architect, you will be able to understand what all facilities can be provided for you for the amount you are going to spend. At this stage you can discuss this information with your family members and get their opinion in finalising the requirements to   the tune of your investment. After this you can again discuss with your architect. At this stage he will be able to show some rough sketch and this can further be modified in consultation with your family members.

Once the design is ready, you can ask for an estimated cost of the house. After getting the estimate and after ascertaining that the cost estimated is realistic and the facilities provided are adequate, you can decide whether you will be able to do that or whether you have to entrust it to another person as at his stage you would have a rough idea about the processed involved in constructing a house and whether you will be able to accomplish it or not.
