What size to build the house

Having available certain sum of money, many make the decision to enclose it not in purchase of the apartment in one of modern city high-rise buildings, and to build the beautiful and cozy house of the dream.

What sizes to build the house? This the first what everyone who has decided to invest money in construction of the family nest thinks of. The house of the small sizes – good option, but only for family of two-three people. The big house – fine option, but, considering today's land values and construction materials, too costly.

And what is offered by the state?

In view of those federal standards which the state can offer, leaves that on one citizen 18 square meters of living space are necessary. In fact, this norm is recommendatory and it can change depending on many factors, however it can quite be used as example when calculating the area of future building.

If to assume that the family of four people (two spouses and two children) will live in the house, then it is possible to make simple calculations. Proceeding from the fact that spouses, as a rule, divide one bedroom for two all in the house there have to be three bedrooms – one matrimonial and two for each of children. The size of the standard bedroom is equal about 16 square meters. In digits it looks so: 16х3=48.48 square meters – the total area of bedrooms. Now, to measure the area of the living room for four people, it is possible to use norms which are recommended by government officials. Calculation is simple too: 18х3=54.

Further calculations

It is necessary to add the area of the bathroom, toilet, the hall, kitchen, the boiler house and corridors to the total area of three bedrooms and the living room (in this example it makes 102 square meters). At least, the digit increases by 40 square meters and will make about 142 square meters at this stage of calculations. However and that is not all. Only the area of necessary rooms therefore it is possible to add safely about 100 more square meters on additional rooms which will be not so superfluous for full comfort appeared in these calculations. It is about guest rooms, office, sauna, the gym, billiard room, the room for smoking. As a result, the area of the house for four people is approximately equal to 242 square meters. Here it is necessary to emphasize on the word "approximately" as each person has different requests and different concepts for comfort. When calculating cost of such house, it is necessary to consider that it is necessary to lay out rather solid sum for the project of the building, repair works, communications and furniture.
