A simple sample estimate for the construction of a house will help the owner deal with the final project cost.

The fact that any business must begin with calculations is known to every person. Get ready to paste wallpaper in the house - calculate what costs will be needed for wallpaper, glue, putty, painter's work. If you want to build a table with your own hands - calculate the cost of boards, screws, PVA glue.

When building a house, it is necessary to take into account all the construction stages and the costs of them. Such indicators are concentrated in the working draft in the section of the estimate documentation.

How to make an estimate for the construction of a house without loss and revision?

About how to make an estimate for the construction of a house, it is known to estimators, foremen, other categories of engineers and builders. Ordinary people who are not associated with construction work, but who have started the construction of a dwelling, have some idea of ​​\u200b\u200bthis. Their desire is clear: they do not want to overpay extra amounts. If a person is persistent and purposeful, it will not be difficult for him to carry out the calculations himself. Sample estimates for the construction of a house are widely presented on the Internet.

Estimated documentation is prepared on the basis of calculations, which presents items with indicators:

• serial number;
• numbers of estimates and calculations;
• names of the construction stage;
• the estimated cost, which consists of the cost of construction and installation works, the use of materials, and other expenses;
• total estimated cost.

Estimated calculations signed by the compiler's management and the customer are considered a monetary document, which is the basis for the actual performance of work, participation in the tender, etc.

When drawing up an estimate for the construction of a house, all important and secondary positions are taken into account. Sometimes it seems to the customer that the inclusion of a particular expense item is not necessary at all. But in the course of construction, unforeseen expenses unaccounted for in the documentation “loom”. The customer understands this and lays in the documentation 5-10% for unforeseen overhead costs. This may be funds aimed at obtaining permits from fire authorities, gas workers, electricians, water suppliers and other permitting authorities, or other types of expenses.

As you can see, it is not very difficult to make an approximate estimate for building a house if you know the consumption of materials, standard prices and current prices. The article also provides a sample estimate for a residential building made of gas blocks (see fig.).

Conclusion

Each person can calculate the cost of construction. But experts do it more skillfully and competently. Sometimes they overestimate the amounts for individual items. In order to adjust the indicators, the owners themselves can perform the calculations or turn to the help of other organizations.
