We have often talked about DIY in our guides, but not about DIY houses!
The months spent in the house, the smart working, the fear that everything could happen again, have led us all to reflect on the spaces. Not everyone had a garden to escape into a green area. Just as not everyone had a quiet area dedicated to smart working. In short, the changes to be made were many and many owners have decided to devote themselves to the art of DIY. Instead of investing in a new property, you can concentrate on a plot of land where you can build a custom house. But how much does it cost to take such a step? Our mini guide today will be dedicated to this very subject. So, if you are ready and maybe curious to know more… we can inaugurate it !
The cost of land is undoubtedly the most variable element of the entire DIY house construction project. Of course, it all depends on three elements:
Obviously, buying a plot of land in a tourist resort will bring more capital expenditure. Ditto if you buy a land in the center of a large metropolis. So, the advice that we give you Realigro, is to opt for an area well connected with the center or major cities, but still cheaper.
Once the land has been purchased, a further choice must be made. That of opting for traditional or innovative construction. So what is meant by an innovative DIY house? Without a doubt we are referring to green building. To that science that has as its object of study the application of building solutions compatible with the ecosystem and the needs of the individual. A considerable saving in the long term, but certainly not in the immediate future. Therefore, we are talking about a starting investment that is not exactly convenient, but that will allow you to have lighter bills and a less impacting standard of living.
The materials used for green building are mainly of natural origin, such as wood and stone. Or in any case materials that, in their extraction and production phase, do not have a significant impact.
Did you know that, with the same economic return, traditional building is much more expensive? Yes, I did. With the same estimates, traditional construction is not only more impactful but also slower in terms of economic return. Energy consumption is disproportionate, not least because of the energy needs of individual investors. The only positive prerogative? The immediacy in terms of available materials.
And you, are you ready to build a do-it-yourself home? For further information, we recommend you stay tuned to our portal. Every day, fresh news for you, which will give you immediate information about the world real estate!
