The estimate for the house of aerated concrete - features of

Any large-scale construction requires a whole complex of preparatory activities, the most important of which is the cost estimate. At this stage it is necessary to calculate the amount of aerated concrete for the house, as well as to determine the required volumes of wood, cement, sand and other materials, without which no construction can do. The more responsibly you approach this issue, the more accurate the data will be, which will allow you to plan the amount of expenses and to imagine how much the entire project will pour out.

The main features of budgeting

If you decide to carry out all the settlement work with your own hands, then you should follow a few simple rules:

Tip! Of course, best of all, when the estimate is created by a professional specialist, this allows you to be confident in the correctness of the results, but the cost of work can be overwhelming in some cases, so you need to sort out the issue and do the work yourself.

Stages of settlement work

In order not to get confused in a huge number of numbers, you need to break the whole process into stages and move progressively from one to another. This will preserve a certain order, and even if an error creeps in somewhere, it will only affect a certain part of the calculations, and not the whole result.

Reason

Without a doubt, the durability of the entire structure depends on the foundation, errors can lead to shrinkage and cracks in the walls, which will lead to costly and time-consuming overhaul.

In the preparation of estimates for the device foundation should consider the following factors:

• First of all, it is necessary to calculate the weight of the house of aerated concrete, it is for this reason that the calculation of the necessary parameters and the consumption of materials for the foundation is carried out last, when all other values ​​are known. It is necessary to summarize the weight of all elements in order to calculate the expected load on the base.
• It is also very important to know the peculiarities of the soil in the area: its type, depth of groundwater, and the particular composition. All these data can be found in the surveying service at the location of the site. In extreme cases, you can ask the developers in the neighborhood, what is the depth of white sand and the level of moisture in the soil.

• If you choose the option with the device of a monolithic slab, then you have to remove all the soil to a certain depth. It will be the side walls of the foundation, its underground and aboveground parts. If the plate is located above the level of freezing, the space under it and 1.5 meters around the perimeter must be additionally heat and waterproof to prevent deformation due to heaving of the soil.
• And do not forget about reinforcement. If the price of metal does not suit you, use fiberglass reinforcement; at a lower price, it is not inferior to iron and even surpasses it.

Box of aerated concrete blocks

We can say that this is the main stage of work, although each part of the estimate is very important.

Instructions for the calculations of this part is as follows:

• It is generally accepted that for a central strip 40 cm thick wall is enough. In fact, external insulation from polystyrene foam or mineral wool is required, otherwise the heat loss from the aerated concrete house will significantly affect the size of the heating charge.

• It is quite simple to calculate the volume required for the work: you need to summarize the length of all the walls, multiply this figure by the height and thickness. The resulting value will be an indicator of consumption in cubic meters.

Note! Do not forget about gables and other elements of irregular shape, when calculating the volume you need to add a certain stock, because the blocks will be cut, and it may turn out that you need only a few pieces.

• It is best to use a special adhesive composition for a number of reasons: a very low consumption of the solution during the work, a small thickness of the seams, due to which the heat loss is significantly reduced, the composition is very easy to use and easy to prepare.
• Every 3-4 rad, joints are additionally reinforced with 3 mm thick mesh. It is possible to carry out reinforcement with the help of reinforcement, in this case cuts are made in the blocks into which the rods are laid, after which everything is filled with solution. It is better to use fiberglass reinforcement, it, unlike metal, does not conduct cold.
• All lintels above windows and doors are made of M200 concrete, formwork is installed for this, and mortar is poured into it. Also be sure to make a reinforcing belt on top of the entire box, it should be 20-30 centimeters high, this will allow you to evenly distribute the load of the roof.

What else should calculate the estimate

It is worth noting immediately that it is impossible to describe the whole process in detail in a small review, but you can make a clear plan of action:

• It should be considered how the insulation of the house will be made of aerated concrete. It can be various options: polyfoam, mineral wool, siding with warming with soft wool or various decorative panels. Each option requires a separate approach, but the Internet has enough information on each of the options.
• It is also important to calculate how much wood will be needed for the floors. For this, timber is most often used with a section of 100x140 or more, it all depends on the loads and the availability of one or another material. For calculations you need to know the required length, the number of beams. In addition, for plating, you will need a board, which also should not be overlooked.

• It is better to calculate materials on the device of the rafter system with the help of specialists, especially this service is free. The same applies to the roof, the specialists will help you calculate the right amount of materials and components for free.
• Next, the material is calculated on the interior and all communications: plumbing, heating, electrical supply system. Ventilation of the house of aerated concrete is most often carried out in a natural way, but if the size of the building is large, then a forced system will be required. Most often, this stage is postponed to a later date, but it is better to do everything in advance, to imagine how much it costs to build a house of aerated concrete.

Conclusion

Работы по расчету планируемых объемов отличаются тем, что в каждом конкретном случае результаты могут быть различными в зависимости от особенностей проекта (см.также статью «План дома из газобетона – качество и экономичность в одной постройке»).
