When deciding to build a house, planning and estimating costs as well as the unit price of building a townhouse is an indispensable part. However, to have an accurate estimate, it is not only necessary to consider the cost of each work item but also to clearly understand the factors that affect the cost of building a house. Below are 5 important factors that homeowners need to know when building their house:

1. Land location

The geographical location of an area can affect the method of building a house's foundation. Some weak terrains, such as flooded land, sandy soil, heterogeneous clay soil, or riverbed soil, etc., cannot build traditional foundations such as strip foundations, raft foundations, etc. In this case, the use of bored pile method is popular to reinforce the foundation firmly.

Although in terms of cost, the bored pile method is somewhat more expensive than conventional foundations because it requires specialized machinery and techniques. However, when the pile foundations are placed deep into the ground, the weight of the house is distributed evenly over a larger area. This reduces the risk of subsidence later.

2. Construction conditions

Natural conditions such as soil, water, air and climate all affect the quality of construction works. In areas where the natural environment is unfavorable, such as weak soil, heavy rain, high humidity, or hot climate, construction must consider structural reinforcement, drainage and heat resistance to ensure ideal living conditions for future homeowners.

On the contrary, in areas with cool climates and fresh air, the construction process also reduces costs because it does not spend too much on labor wages, and structural items are also constructed more quickly and easily.

3. House size and style

The size and style of modern townhouse designs are also important factors that affect construction costs. Larger and more complex houses tend to cost more because they require more materials and take longer to build. Larger construction areas mean more materials and labor are needed, which increases the total cost.

The number of floors in a house also affects the cost because each floor requires separate construction and finishing works, from the foundation, columns to the foundation. Complex designs with special architectural details such as domes, large windows, balconies can also increase the cost due to the technical requirements and construction time.

Depending on the design style, number of floors,... the cost of building a house is also affected.

4. Construction materials

Building materials play an important role in building a house. In the current market, there are many different types of materials suitable for each area and part of the house. The cost of building materials is also very diverse, divided into many segments from cheap to high-end. Therefore, choosing and combining suitable materials will depend on the economic conditions, preferences and needs of the family.

For example, granite flooring will be more expensive than ceramic tile flooring, and using natural wood furniture will also be more expensive than engineered wood.

5. Construction unit

When choosing a construction contractor, homeowners need to consider reputable companies that have been operating in the industry for many years, have a team of skilled workers, are capable of working professionally and ensuring the quality of the project.

Choosing a reputable contractor not only helps avoid risks during the construction process, but also ensures that costs are not increased due to the use of poor quality materials or substandard construction items.
