Which house is better to build one- or two-story

Before as build your own home, the developer often arises the question of which house is better to build, one-storey or house with two floors. Now I do not take into account the topic of complexity of choosing between full 2 \u200b\u200bfloors and attic, from which material to build, what kind of roofing. I take the concept of home itself, as someone thinks, do I need a house above one floor? First, the thoughts arise: house in one floor has its advantagesFor example, do not need an expensive and complex element as a staircase. This also has its own way comfort - do not worry legs, rising high. It is convenient to repair and care for the house (it is not necessary to rave the scaffolding), there will be a fairly simple ladder. The advantages of a single-storey house can be listed infinitely. I also once thought about a single-storey building.

Having so many advantages in single-storey houses have a number of minusesThey cannot be reset from accounts, for example: lack of money. It is not at all difficult to count that the house is one floor with an equal area with two-storey house in constructionit will be more expensive. First, it is the area of \u200b\u200bthe roof, an expensive building material. Secondly, overlapping the base and the foundation area, also for money quite weighty. But the high cost of one-story house does not end. For convenient placement of premises throughout the house, you need to do several sewage risers, because to create around one riser in a single-storey building all the sewage will be problematic (I take into account the fact that if your plans include a comfortable house, let's say - with access from the bedroom a personal toilet .

In addition, you will need more heating systems and DHW pipelines for a study at home, much more warm floors (and without them a comfortable house now).

By the way, when building at home I advise you to bring up the household. Now there are households in a huge assortment: construction, metal, modular households, in which there are no special professionalism in the erection. Moodovka will become an indispensable assistant in your beginner construction.

The overpayment on construction will not end, one-storey house lose more energy in heat loss (a large area of \u200b\u200bcontact with the environment due to roofing and foundation). All this flows in the amount of uniform costs during construction and regular during operation.

One-storey houses personally in my opinion, it is better to build Now people, the composition of whose families is small and in the future it is not planned to increase. Well, if there is an increase in the family, there is a desire, then by the end of the construction of the house, the built area will be unlikely ... (it happens). And you have to win again. I chose the way otherwise: I built the attic, but on the 1st floor I provided a bedroom, as they say - to pass the old age. Attic, if necessary, closed with a warmed hatch, on the batteries the minimum temperature is installed, and the house is converted to one-storey one.
