Houses on a hillside are particularly popular, especially if you want to enjoy the view of the surroundings. But building a house on a hill and also to your individual needs is difficult and costly compared to building on flat ground. Here are some factors and requirements of the slope, you need to consider before opting for such a project.
Build a house on a hill – flexible architecture
Research first. Consult your the zoning board, planning and scheduling rules and regulations of your local government authority if you are building on an inclined surface. It is quite possible that there are restrictions on the maximum height of your chosen property and surrounding walls . If you build on top of the hill, you should also consider the impact on the environment.
Build the house on a slope – optimal use of sunlight
Make sure there is easy access to the construction site or a road leading to the hill, because sites that are difficult to access will increase the cost of construction.
The site will be accessible
Examine the ground and discuss with a geotechnical engineer. A report on the nature of the soils studied the nature and stability of the soil on your property, and the report will make recommendations for the best type of home including foundation for the site.
Respect the weather
Your home is exposed to the weather, so you need to protect your exterior from wind and rain. If there are no old trees on the hill, install a roof that can withstand tough weather conditions. oAt the same time, floor-to-ceiling windows let sunlight and heat in, deep into the rooms.
Plan your budget
The extra cost of building on a slope may occur. Building the foundations of a house on a slope is generally more expensive than those on flat ground and requires additional materials. The extra time to lay a foundation of more complex home means an increase in labor and material costs. For this reason, you need to plan your budget carefully.
