Tiếng ViệtThe old saying goes, ‘An cư lạc nghiệp’ (Settle down to live and work in peace/Settle in a safe place to enjoy your profession), highlighting the importance of building a home for stability and growth in life. However, home construction is a comprehensive process, encompassing everything from financial planning and architectural design to material selection.
The 7 townhouse construction tips shared by 3A Design below will help you make thorough preparations when planning to create the dream home for your family.
1. Thoroughly Research Legal Procedures
Before commencing the construction of a beautiful townhouse, your land plot must obtain a construction permit from the competent authority. According to Clause 1, Article 95 of the Construction Law, the application file for a new construction permit for an individual house includes:
- Application for the Construction Permit.
- A certified copy of documents proving land use rights as stipulated by land law.
- Construction design blueprint.
- A commitment to safety assurance for projects adjacent to neighboring structures.
Construction legal procedures are often quite complex, consuming significant time and effort. Therefore, if the investor lacks experience, 3A Design advises selecting a construction unit that provides a turnkey legal procedure service. This will ensure efficiency and save both time and cost.
2. Establish a Clear Financial Plan
One of the most crucial experiences (or tips) for townhouse construction is establishing a clear financial plan. By having a transparent financial plan from the outset, you will have a preliminary estimate of the total construction cost required for the entire project. This helps mitigate situations where quality is compromised or construction time is prolonged due to funding shortfalls during the building process.
Accordingly, the financial planning process should include the following steps:
- Prepare a basic cost estimate and expenditure table necessary for the townhouse construction.
- Forecast potential arising costs during the construction and finishing phases. In reality, the townhouse construction process almost always involves certain unexpected expenses, often ranging from 10% to 30% above the initial estimate.
- The more accurate and meticulous the financial plan, the faster and smoother the townhouse construction process will proceed.
3. Define the Architectural Concept, Functionality, and Usage Requirements of the Home
Depending on your needs, preferences, and lifestyle, you can select a suitable architectural concept: Modern architecture (kiến trúc hiện đại) creates a fresh, youthful appearance for the project; Luxurious architecture (kiến trúc sang trọng) aims for high-end convenience in an elegant space; Sophisticated architecture (kiến trúc tinh tế) focuses on a harmonious blend of classic and modern styles; Minimalist architecture (kiến trúc tối giản) uses monochromatic forms to express the unique personality of each owner.
Once you have clearly defined the appropriate design style, you need to consider the functional requirements of the house and proceed with dividing the interior space. Specifically, consider the area, location, quantity, and specific function of each room; essential spaces required in the home (such as a worship room/altar, garage, laundry/drying yard, etc.); and potential changes in future needs (such as adding new family members).
4. Collaborate and Exchange Design Ideas with the Architect
Working with an architect is an extremely crucial townhouse construction tip that you cannot overlook. When consulting with the architect, you need to provide detailed information regarding your personal preferences, utility requirements, design concepts, and issues related to the home’s Feng Shui.
All of your ideas and aesthetic tastes will be recorded by the architect, who will then provide consultation and support to develop the most suitable design and construction plan. This process helps you create a project that fully meets all aesthetic and functional requirements.
5. Selecting Construction Materials
Construction materials are primarily divided into two main categories: rough-in materials (vật liệu xây dựng phần thô) (bricks, stones, cement, sand, concrete, reinforcement steel) and finishing materials (vật liệu thi công hoàn thiện) (sanitary equipment, water supply and drainage systems, floor tiles, various types of paint, etc.).
These materials all play an extremely vital role in creating a solid home. Therefore, selecting quality-assured materials is a decisive factor in the stability and safety of your entire project. Accordingly:
If you encounter difficulties in selecting and purchasing construction materials, you can consult with your construction unit (contractor). Experienced construction units that have partnered with numerous reputable material suppliers will undoubtedly provide the best recommendations for you.
Prioritize selecting materials from reputable brands with extensive distribution systems in the market.
Choose reliable suppliers to purchase quality, genuine materials, avoiding fake, counterfeit, or substandard products.
6. Understand the Construction Process Thoroughly
This is also an essential townhouse construction tip to help you create a beautiful, safe, and fully functional residential project. Clearly understanding the construction process and making careful preparations according to State regulations will help you avoid troublesome situations like construction being suspended, or, more seriously, the entire structure being dismantled. Furthermore, understanding the construction process will prevent you from being reactive during the allocation of finances and other expenses.
7. Select a Reputable Contractor and Construction Supervisor – The Most Important Townhouse Construction Tip
To successfully construct a beautiful townhouse, perfect from exterior architecture to interior space, at a reasonable price, you must carefully consider selecting a reputable construction unit that fully meets professional criteria and, critically, adheres to labor safety regulations. To find such a construction company, you can rely on the following four factors:
Company Reputation within the Industry: A reputable and established construction company must possess legal standing and transparently disclose its information. You can search for their business license, tax code, operating history, etc., on their website or social media channels
Extensive Experience: An experienced contractor will possess a team of skilled engineers, architects, and site supervisors with a high sense of responsibility, professional craftsmen, and all necessary equipment, including safety gear. Simultaneously, the experience accumulated from actual projects allows them to propose suitable plans and solutions during the construction process.
Transparent Construction Process: During construction, the contractor should provide the homeowner with frequent updates and detailed work reports. This limits unnecessary risks and ensures the project progress and handover are met as committed in the contract.
Clear Construction Costs: A reputable contractor will offer construction solutions using the most optimized materials, helping you maximize cost efficiency while still ensuring the quality and aesthetic appeal of the project.
