Building a house is one of the most important things in life because it is a living space for the whole family. A utility house not only meets the requirements of interior and exterior, but it must also suit the factors of the environment and surrounding climate.

1.Building in accordance with demand

This is the first factor that the owner must determine before starting the construction, and it is based on land area, the number of family members, the need to use for the owner to have a specific plan. A house which is too big with a lot of unused area will waste both space and money in construction, decoration, electrical equipment … Instead of building a house with many small rooms, just build rooms in accordance with the needs of the family. Besides, it is also necessary to plan for changes in the future such as having more members…. If the land area is large, you can use the remaining as a gardenโ€ฆ.

2.Estimating usage time

Estimate the time spent to choose the right design and materials. For example, if you only stay in a temporary house for about 5 years, the building materials do not need to be too good or sophisticated. If it is determined that this will be a living place for the whole family for a long time, the construction and the interior should be durable and beautiful to avoid too much repairing.

3.Construction in accordance with geographical location

The house has to suffer a lot from the surrounding environment such as climate, temperature, noiseโ€ฆ so the house design to fit the geographical features is extremely important. For houses near roads and production areas, you should choose soundproof materials… Without suitable design for the conditions in the area, you will suffer many troubles in daily life.

4.Pay attention to the direction of the sun

If you can choose the direction of the house, you should build a house facing the south because the southern direction is considered the most favorable direction to build a house, providing good ventilation and adequate light.

Southern houses are usually warm in winter and cool in summer. In summer, the house will receive cool breezes from the Southeast and the South, and in winter, cold monsoons will be avoided. The air circulation in the house is always guaranteed in the best condition.

5.Indoor insulation

Using insulating material is the most saving way for a home because it not only saves energy but it also helps you to keep furniture and decorations to avoid the risk of damage quickly. The most necessary parts to design insulation are walls, roof, windows … If you perform good insulation, you will significantly reduce your electricity bill.

6.Roof design

The roof is responsible for protecting the whole house, so the homeowner needs to consider and choose the appropriate design for the roof. A top-down slope (Thai roof) will avoid long-term water accumulation compared to flat roofs. In case of choosing a flat roof, you should design the most effective drainage system to protect the house as well as pay attention to the insulation of the roof as it increases or decreases the indoor temperature naturally with the seasons.
