Tips and tricks on saving money in construction


Tips and tricks to save the most while building your dream house.

Are you planning to build yours dream house?If so, take a deep breath,grab a notepad and take down the tips and tricks given below to save money . As they say "Save mindlessly, Spend consciously",no one wants to pay more than necessary when building their house. And gone are those days where only the experts knew how to save money. we at www.materialtree.com are giving away free tips and tricks for our customers 
Here are a few tips that may help keep your building budget within reason , without compromising on the home you want .As building your own house is a primal urge, one of those universal genetic drives. 
  • Visit many, many houses. you think you know what your dream house  would be like ? But do you really know? After scouring the home books, drive around and visit as many homes as possible. If you can find a newly developed area, they may have some model homes that can give you tons  of ideas.
  • Take advantage of the  free shipping facilities  and discounts offered  by online stores. As you can get the same products for a cheaper  price. But beware to order from only trusted companies like www.materialtree.com which supply good quality materials.
  • Buy a large lot with a friend or family member that can be split into two smaller lots. Some of the most appealing properties may be much larger than what you want or can afford, yet the seller may not be willing to break up a large parcel. So if you can share the cost with someone else (preferably someone you don't mind having as a neighbor), you may be able to pick up a great building site for a reasonable price.
  • Consider a so-called problem lot — a hillside, narrow, or in-fill property. Generally, these types of lots are not as desirable as others, so they don't sell as quickly and often go for a much lower price. With the right plan and a capable contractor, however, a potentially difficult lot might be perfect for your new home.
  • Buy low-maintenance building materials — vinyl siding and metal roofing, for example, Even if they are somewhat more expensive at installation, they will pay for themselves in the long run as you won't have to repair, replace or repaint.
  • Collect salvaged materials from demolition sites. Old barnwood, used bricks and distinctive wooden doors add inexpensive character to a home without exorbitant cost. Many times you can have the materials at no cost, as long as you're willing to haul them away. Just be sure to check first with the owner of the building being demolished.
  • Splurge only on those things you truly cannot live without. However, don't skimp on structural components or doors and windows — for the safety and security of your home, you'll want to purchase the best you can afford in these areas.
  • Don't overbuild for the neighborhood. A home that is better and bigger than any other in its area will not command a fair price at resale. Instead, the assessment will be colored by the lower-priced homes around it.
  • Monitor construction allowances as the home is being built to ensure you're getting what you asked for (and are paying for). This includes decorative details as well as structural elements. If you and your builder agreed, for instance, that a particular brand of insulation would be installed, don't accept a lesser brand — at least not without a cost adjustment.
  • Use only a certified general contractor. The experience of a well-qualified contractor is invaluable to the home-building process. In addition, seasoned professionals have established relationships with suppliers and subcontractors — something you cannot possibly hope to get without years of experience in the business.
  • Try to avoid site preparation charges — hauling in-fill dirt, grading, clearing trees, blasting rock. These processes are expensive and add time to the building schedule right off the bat. Choose the best site you can afford and then pick a plan that fits that site or can be modified to better suit the site.
  • Find a good architect because everyone desires their dream home to be unique and special, something which no  home book can provide .
  • Avoid change orders — the changes in materials or blueprints that invariably occur in the midst of the building process. Not only do change orders cost more money, they add considerable time and frustration to the building process. Decide exactly what you want before ground is broken — and then stick to it. Be flexible. You have an idea of what your new house should look like. You want it to be beautiful and warm and inviting but you also want to be able to afford it in general, make decisions quickly and adapt your visions of the room in question to whatever it is you find. If you  only have certain items and wont flex from that view, you will probably end up spending more money finding those exact things.
  • Keep the depth of your home at 32 feet or less. Any more than that and roof trusses may need to be specially designed, which can add significant amount to the overall building cost. If you have sufficient land and want a larger house, consider adding width or additional stories.
  • If you really want ceramic tile or hardwood flooring but feel you can't afford it right now, consider vinyl flooring. Vinyl makes a good underlayment, and the tile or wood can be installed right on top of it at a later date.
  • Choose a stock plan over custom-drawn plans. The savings in total cost are great and you can probably customize the stock plan to get exactly what you want.

L-Shaped Kitchen and its Benefits

L-Shaped Kitchen

L-shaped kitchen is made up of two perpendicular workspaces. This creates a natural work triangle with continuous counter space and work stations on two adjacent walls. The versatile L-shaped kitchen allows room for plenty of cooks and onlookers. 
The L-shaped kitchen is one of the most popular plans amongst the Modular Kitchen Designs because it makes efficient use of relatively small spaces. This type of plan fits into a corner, creating a work space that's out-of-the-way. The sink, refrigerator, and stove create a triangle that makes it easy to prepare food with minimal movement.
Benefits:
• Benchtops and cabinets can be customized to length
• Great for corner spaces
• Enables better space utilization
• Easy working triangle
• Perfect for small and medium kitchen spaces
• Can easily divide the kitchen into multiple work sites

What is Portland Slag Cement?

Portland-Slag-Cement


Portland Slag Cement (PSC) is manufactured by either inter-grinding in the Portland cement clinker, Gypsum & Granulated Slag or mixing the Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) with Ordinary Portland Cement by means of mechanical blenders.  It is created with a blend of 45- 50% slag, 45% – 50% clinker, and 3-5% gypsum. Portland slag cement is the most suitable cement for concrete paths, mass concrete uses, structures and bases, pre-cast concrete, concrete open to sea water and oceanic use.


All compositions produce high ultimate strength, but as slag content is increased, initial strength is reduced, while sulfate resistance upsurges and heat evolution moderates.  The hydration of slag is initiated when lime liberated in the hydration of Portland cement provides the correct alkalinity; later hydration does not depend on lime.

Physical requirements:
  • The specific surface (fineness) of slag cement shall not be less than 225 m2/kg
  • Portland slag cement shall not have an expansion of more than 10 mm and 0.8 percent respectively.
  • Initial setting time shall not be less than 30 minutes and final setting time shall not be less than 600 minutes.
  • Compressive strength should not be less than 16 Mpa after 3 days, 22 Mpa after 7 days, 33 Mpa after 28 days.  


Advantages of PSC cement:
  •         High compressive strength
  •         High resistance to chloride and sulphate
  •        Good workability
  •         Good resistance against alkali-silica reaction
  •         Low risk of cracking
  •     Superior Finish

Applications:
  •          Marine and offshore structures
  •         Sewage disposal treatment works
  •         Water treatment plants
  •         Pre cast concrete products
  •          Concrete roads and flyovers
  •          Bridges and dams
  •         Foundation constructions

Building materials suppliers in bangalore

A list of building materials are required before you start your construction project whether it is home, industrial or for commercial purpose. The basic construction materials list includes cement, steel, sand, ready mix concrete, binding wires, coarse aggregates, fine aggregates, bricks, blocks etc. Any material used in building construction has to be selected carefully to ensure safety and long lasting life of the building.
All the building construction materials come in different grades, sizes and brands which are used for different purposes in construction based on their functionality and strength.
The construction materials list and their uses are listed below:
Cement:
Cement is a material that sets, hardens and can bind together all other building materials. The different grades of cement are 53 grade cement, 43 grade cement, PPC cement, PSC cement, etc. All these different grades of cement are manufactured by a number of brands in India. Some well-known cement brands in India are zuari, ACC cement, birla super cement, ramco, Ultratech cement, Dalmia etc.
Cement in Bangalore is available from Rs 330 Per bag – Rs 425 Per bag. 

TMT Steel:
TMT stands for Thermo-Mechanical Treatment which is a metallurgical process to produce high strength steel bars from low carbon steel. It plays an important role in giving structure to a construction project.  
TMT steel comes in Fe 500 grade, Fe 500 D grade and Fe 550 grade which signifies the strength of the steel in ascending order as mentioned here. Some famous Steel brands in India are Tata Tiscon, Kamdhenu, Jindal Panther, Aone Steel, Bhuwalka, Primegold, Sail, and Indus etc.
TMT prices start from Rs 34000 per ton – Rs 45,000 per ton. 

Sand / Fine Aggregates:
There are two types of sand available in India; River sand and Manufactured river (Also known as Robosand).
River sand is extracted from river bed and manufactured sand is made artificially. The manufactured sand also well-known as the M-sand is gaining popularity due to the recommendation from the government and its fineness and dust free quality and also due to the fact that river sand is scarce in nature and is unavailable and costly.  Besto, Thriveni, Robo silicon, Espee etc. are a few known brands manufacturing M-sand.
Msand starts from Rs 800 Per ton – Rs 1800 per ton depending on the quality and purpose.

Ready mix concrete:
Ready mix concrete is readily available concrete as it is manufactured in a factory and directly delivered at the construction site. It is preferred over the on-site concrete mixing use to the precise mixture and reduced work at site.
Based on its functionality and use RMC is categorized into M-20, M-25, M-30, M-35 etc.

Binding wires:
Binding wires as the name suggests is used to bind the TMT Steel bars and help in providing proper structure to the construction due to the stability of the TMT Steel Bars.

Coarse Aggregates:
Fine aggregates consist of River sand, M-sand or the Slag sand used for construction. Coarse aggregates are the fillers in concrete mixes. It is offered in 6mm, 12mm, 20mm and 40mm sizes in India. Coarse aggregates is also recognized as blue metal, jelly and crushed stone. The purpose of the coarse aggregate is to act as the main load-bearing ingredient of the concrete.
Coarse aggregates start from Rs 650 per ton to Rs 900 per ton depending upon the quality. 

Bricks/Blocks:
Bricks and Blocks are used for building walls. They come in different shapes, sizes and strength based on different construction requirements. High strength bricks and blocks are mainly used for load bearing walls as they have the capacity to withstand the pressure due to the load.
