To build your own cottage, you need to go through a few very important stages. First of all, the construction project should be created, where even the smallest details will be reflected. If you want to avoid unforeseen expenses, then indicate all building materials and indicate their approximate cost. At the next stage, you will take the choice of a construction site with its preparation, namely, cleaning of natural garbage. Put the entire space and proceed to land work, namely the digging of the pit, laying the foundation, laying all the necessary engineering networks. With systems that will supply water and heat to the house, it is worth determining in advance. If you stopped on a sewer system of the septic tank, then it can be installed at the very end of the construction. The next stage is ground work, in particular the construction of the walls. As a rule, when erecting a cottage, wood or brick is used. The choice of material depends primarily on how often you plan to operate the cottage. For summer stay, wood blocks are perfect, and for the permanent it is better to choose foam concrete panels or bricks. Next follows the arrangement of the roof. If the attic is supposed, then when developing the roof, this parameter must be taken into account without fail. The same applies to the fireplace.
