One-story cinder block house. Construction of private houses from cinder blocks

Increasingly, for the construction of modern houses, materials such as cinder block are used. And the secret of such popularity lies not only in its low cost. It has many benefits. It is no worse than modern building materials which are made according to the latest technologies. It is ideal for the construction of residential buildings.

The cinder block is a building stone. It is obtained by shrinking cement mortar in different forms. The manufacturing technology is not particularly complicated, it does not require special equipment and installations. The solution is made up of various components, but this does not greatly affect the final characteristics. Therefore, you can make such a building material yourself. To do this, you will need to make a form into which the solution mixture will be poured.

Manufacturing

As a rule, industrial cinder block is always larger than red or silicate brick. By making it yourself, you can give it the size and shape of your choice. You can make a form from ordinary wooden planks. The solution is made from ash, which can be replaced with slag waste from boiler houses. Cement is also added to it. All these components make it possible to obtain building materials of increased strength. For even greater strength, sand, dolomite crushed stone, brick chips, and limestone screenings can be added to the solution. Of course, all this must be filled with water. From such a solution, concrete cinder blocks are obtained, which have a significant weight. To get a lightweight version, the solution is kneaded on the basis of cement, expanded clay, slag and ash.

Such elements are used not only for the construction of residential buildings. Other types of buildings are also built from them. Due to the relative lightness of the material, you can easily build a house on your own in the shortest period of time. A cinder block house is warm and comfortable.

Construction Benefits

A cinder block is essentially a concrete block. As a filler, slag is used for it, which determines the basic properties of the material. Slag is a vitreous mass. It consists of the smallest particles of waste rock, which is mixed with flux. This substance removes impurities that form during the melting of the metal.

What are the advantages of buildings built from such material?

1. First of all is the cost. This type of block material is inexpensive. In addition, it is generally possible to make it yourself.
2. Minor weight. This allows you not to focus on the strength of the foundation, and saves on construction.
3. High strength. Blocks are made on the basis of cement, slag, sand and sawdust. As a result, the material is durable. After its surface is plastered, it will be no different from silicate brick.
4. Fire resistant. There are simply no components left in its composition that could catch fire. Under the influence of high temperatures, they can melt, but not catch fire.
5. The building is not afraid of insects and small rodents. Therefore, residents may not be afraid of such a neighborhood. But it is worth noting that such non-love is caused by the fact that some components carry a certain harmfulness.
6. Technological simplicity. You can build a house from cinder block yourself even with a complete lack of experience in construction.

If we talk about insulating properties, then the prospects look rather sad. The cinder block has a porous structure that absorbs moisture. This leads to freezing of the walls in winter time of the year. Therefore, a building that is not insulated will serve as a poor protection for you from cold and frost.

Construction Disadvantages

Knowing all the shortcomings of the building material, you can more accurately understand whether this material meets your needs. Unfortunately, the cinder block also has them.

• High level of thermal conductivity. House calls mandatory insulation. If you do not fulfill this condition, then the fuel costs will shock you.
• An increased degree of hygroscopicity, that is, the material is too porous. This means that the walls will catastrophically absorb any moisture. This will lead to dampness and cold indoors in winter. To avoid this, you will need an exterior plaster and a wall waterproofing agent. The latter must be used even when the facade of the building will be insulated from the outside using wet technology.
• Low level of environmental friendliness. Of course, manufacturing companies convince that this building material does not contain anything bad. However, no one can guarantee you that radioactive slag was not used in its production.

The list can go on for a very long time. You can add some nuances that make the process more complicated. But in reality, all this is not important if the builder is armed in advance with modern and reliable high-quality tools.

Construction features

The technology of erecting buildings from cinder block material is practically no different from building, for example, from brick. In the same way, the foundation is made, walls are erected, a roof is put up and communications are laid. Differences are noticeable only at certain stages.

• Protection of the foundation from water. Due to the fact that this species building material is hygroscopic, it just needs to be protected from moisture, which will come from everywhere, taking into account the foundation. Therefore, the waterproofing work of the foundation must be carried out with special care.
• Masonry. The cinder block is laid in almost the same way as a brick. The block binding method is the same and has not changed long years. The difference lies in the fact that the cinder block has voids. They are used depending on what the goal is. If the house is low, then the voids are simply filled with cement. This allows you to achieve additional strengthening of the structure. If the building will have several floors, then a reinforcement frame is inserted into the cavity. This allows the material to withstand the load coming from the upper floors.
• A cinder block house cannot do without an armored belt. Of course, I use it in the construction of all buildings from blocks. It is designed to distribute the load that comes from the floor slabs to all walls. If the house is being built from cinder block, then the armored belt is especially important. It is even made a little larger than usual.

Start of construction

Before starting the construction process, you need to decide on the size of the budget. There should be enough money to purchase ready-made material or components for its subsequent manufacture. In addition, the construction process will also require funds from you, as well as the repair process.

So, if you get everything you need to build a foundation, and build walls on it, and there is not enough money to continue building, then all the work will go down the drain. After all, we already wrote earlier that the cinder block absorbs moisture, which means that it will quickly become unusable, and everything will eventually have to be redone. If you cannot do all the calculations yourself, then contact construction company, which specializes in planned developments and calculates the number of required material with budgeting.

Also, you must put in order all the documentation proving your right to property and so on.

Building a foundation

When the documentation is put in order, and all materials are purchased, you can start digging a foundation pit. To build the latter, you will need cement, reinforced concrete foundation blocks, crushed stone, gravel and sand. If you are planning to create a basement or want to build a garage under the house, then the foundation pit should be larger and deeper than usual.

The foundation itself, as a rule, has a tape structure. Especially when it comes to low-rise buildings. The quality of the soil on which the house is being built also affects how the foundation will look. Its height should have a height of at least 70 centimeters above ground level. This will protect the blocks from possible wetting.

When the foundation is ready, it must stand for at least one month. But laying the plinth is an exception. Its layer should be at least five rows if the building is built from concrete blocks. The lower part of the basement must be completely isolated from the surface of the foundation itself. The upper part of the plinth is covered with a layer of waterproofing.

Wall and roof construction

When the foundation is settled, you can start laying the walls of the house. To do this, you need to prepare the cinder block itself and, of course, the solution. It is prepared from cement and plasticizer. The latter will not allow the cement to harden very quickly. Therefore, it can be mixed large quantities. So, for the process of building walls, the following tools will come in handy.

• Hacksaw. You will need it for sawing blocks to give them the desired size.
• Respirator. When sawing, a lot of dust is generated.
• Building level.
• Hydraulic level.
• A hammer.
• Trowel.
• Plumb.
• Order.

Construction stages

As with building a brick house, you need to carefully align all the corners. The result should be a perfect rectangle shape. Then four cinder blocks are placed on the surface of the foundation. They are leveled with a building level and a stretched cord. After that, a layer of cement mortar is applied to the surface. It is on him that the first row of cinder blocks is exposed. If necessary, to give the solution a viscosity, ordinary ash is added to it. If there is red clay, then it will do the same.

The blocks are very easy to install. There are very few differences from brickwork. The solution is applied with a trowel. The stone is placed at an angle to the surface, turned so that it is parallel to the surface of the wall, and pressed firmly against the stone that was laid earlier. In this case, you need to lightly tap with a hammer on the concrete block. Excess residues of the solution are removed with a paint trowel.

The very first rows must be laid out as accurately as possible. When erecting them, you need to check how even the surface is with the help of a building level and a plumb line. The more often you conduct such a check, the faster the work will go. In addition, you do not have to correct the mistakes made.

Laying methods

Laying walls made of cinder block material is possible in several ways.

1) In two stone blocks.

2) One and a half blocks.

3) In one cinder block.

4) Half a stone.

The solution must be laid with a thickness of no more than one and a half centimeters. If the layer is thicker, then the thermal insulation properties of the finished structure may decrease. To increase these properties, voids within blocks are best left unfilled. The solution is laid only at the joints of the blocks and where it is needed. When the wall is ready, the voids in it are covered with very fine slag, which is then carefully compacted.

In any case, the construction process is much faster than if you used ordinary brick. This is due to the size of the material and ease of use. So, the brick is smaller, so it will need twice as much. Therefore, more movements will have to be performed. Yes, and the same cement will go a lot. This means that the cinder block saves money. When the process of building walls is completed, you need to take on their hydro and thermal insulation. This is necessary so that moisture does not get on the surface of the material. This is especially important to do before you mount the roof.

When the walls are completely insulated from the effects of weather conditions, the roof frame is installed. It is designed after all the work related to the box of the building is completed. So that condensation does not form between the ceiling and the roof of the house, moisture does not collect, steam and waterproofing materials should be laid between them.
When the installation of the roof is fully completed, it is necessary to perform a vapor barrier on the ceiling. It, like the entire roof, must be insulated inside with basalt or mineral wool.

Video. Cinder block its pros and cons

Invented at the beginning of the 20th century, cinder blocks have firmly entered modern construction as the most versatile, budgetary and unpretentious wall material. Cinder block is used for construction bearing walls houses with a height of no more than 3 floors, installation of partitions, laying a strip or column foundation under garages, kiosks, change houses, for the construction of underground and above-ground office premises, arranging attics in multi-storey buildings.

Before starting to draw up a project for a cinder block house, it is necessary to take into account the properties, advantages and disadvantages of this material:

1. Cinder blocks are made by vibrating compacting a mixture of M500 cement with water and filler in special forms. The most typical list of fillers is granulated slag and granite/gravel screenings. This technology provides the maximum reduction in the cost and consumption of the binder without a large loss of strength. Cinder block is the cheapest type of wall stone.

2. The compressive strength of the cinder block is consistent with brick - M50 - M100, solid blocks - up to M150. The material is absolutely not subject to shrinkage and gains strength over time. But fragility and low tensile strength does not allow the use of cinder blocks in the construction of walls with significant transverse loads.

3. During solidification, the material acquires a noticeable porosity - this facilitates laying work, reduces the requirements for the foundation, reduces thermal conductivity, and increases sound insulation properties.

4. It is absolutely not necessary to involve professional builders for laying the cinder block. The volume, duration, complexity of laying and measuring operations are 3-4 times lower than when building a brick wall.

5. The cinder block does not enter into chemical reactions with the atmosphere, does not burn, rodents and insects do not settle in it. Guaranteed service life of the cinder block at right choice material - 15 years for non-plastered walls, 50 - with bilateral protection, 100 or more if periodic plaster restoration is carried out.

6. The main disadvantage is high hygroscopicity and low frost resistance class (F15 - F50). Wherever there is no way to protect the cinder block walls of the house from prolonged contact with water, they quickly lose all insulating qualities and crack after freezing. Therefore, bilateral plastering is almost mandatory and external insulation of the cinder block is desirable. It is unacceptable to use this material in walls that are subject to periodic flooding.

7. The cinder block construction plan must be strictly tied to the weather seasons, the optimal time for laying is the end of spring - the beginning of autumn. When leaving for the night or weekend, the stacked blocks protect from possible rain. Before winter, it is necessary to have time to mount the roof on cinder block houses.

8. A cinder block, especially a hollow one, greatly reduces strength under the influence of chasing with impact tools, and when you try to gouge a through round hole, an entire segment can collapse. You need to think over the bookmark scheme in advance engineering systems and make careful cuts with a grinder.

9. The presence of metallurgy waste in the composition makes the material non-environmental. Harmful substances released in small quantities disappear within a year after production, therefore it is recommended not to populate and not to plaster the walls until the end of the first winter after the construction of the box.

Overview of layouts

1. The project of house 1 is a real one-story mansion 15x10 with a total area of ​​220 m2 with a high spacious attic. A significant part of the first floor is occupied by a garage and office space, on the opposite side there is an exit to a large terrace. In the living room and kitchen located next to each other with an area of ​​​​23 m2, two dozen guests can be received at once. For convenience, there is a bathroom.

Going out to the second floor, we find ourselves in a spacious hall with a large viewing window in the entire wall. The project of the floor provides for the presence of two children's rooms of 12 m2 and a bedroom of 22 m2. There are also 2 bathrooms and an office. The entrance to each room is located in the central hall. 1 nursery and office have adjoining balconies.

2. House project 2 - the best-priced version of a 10x10 house with an attic only above the residential part of the 1st floor, with a total area of ​​120 m2. The project provides for a garage of 20 m2, a small hall, 1 bathroom for the whole house, a living room of 22 m2 with a corner staircase, a stove and access to the terrace. The kitchen is quite small, only 12 m2. On the second floor there is a bathroom and 2 rather small bedrooms - 17 and 9 m2. This area is clearly not enough for big family.

3. House project 3 - the best for a large family, but does not have a garage. This is real two-storey house 10x10 with an area of ​​180 m2, with many rooms in which family members can find privacy if necessary. On the ground floor there is a bathroom, a boiler room, a small kitchen, a separate free-use room, a spacious entrance hall of 11 m2, and a living room of 18 m2. The project of the 2nd floor includes 3 bedrooms 12, 12 and 19 m2, and 2 spacious bathrooms. One of the bathrooms can only be accessed through the master bedroom.

How to calculate the cost?

The cost of building a house from cinder block will include:

1. Designing a detailed scheme of the house, taking into account engineering systems. The order of the project will cost at least 25,000 rubles.

2. Excavation to a depth of 0.5-1 m under the house - about 400 rubles per m3.

3. Reinforcement and pouring of a tape monolithic foundation, 0.5 m wide for a wall 40 cm - about 8,000 rubles per 1 m3 only for materials and their delivery.

4. Backfilling the underground with crushed stone and sand - about 600 per 1 m3, including delivery. At this stage, you can include a basement in the project.

5. To order a complete arrangement of a turnkey strip foundation will cost approximately 17,000 rubles / m3 of concrete work.

6. Buying a cinder block. A typical size is 190x190x390 mm. Given a mortar thickness of 10 mm, it is very easy to calculate the material consumption per square meter - 12.5 blocks per 19 cm wall, and 25 blocks per 39 cm wall. The price is approximately 30-35 rubles apiece. The project must include a fight and marriage in the amount of 5-10%.

7. Purchase of cement and sand. The technological rate of consumption of the solution is 1 cubic meter per 4.5 m3 of the wall. For its manufacture, you will need 6 bags of M400 cement and 1.1 cubic meters of sand (1 to 4 volume ratio) with a total price of 1800 rubles.

8. The price of floors and roofs.

9. The most significant point of the project is the cost of heating, sewerage, water, electricity and gas supply systems.

10. Windows, doors, plaster, finishing, insulation.

Additionally, the project should take into account the following points:

• Cannot be laid on cinder block concrete floor. If necessary, an armored belt is made of longitudinal beams.
• In the walls you need to lay reinforcement through the row. This will lead to costs in the amount of about 300 rubles per m3 of masonry.
• To further lighten, insulate and reduce the cost of the wall, you can use blocks with high voids (up to 40%). But they are more fragile and poorly suited for building a house above 2 floors.

The estimated price of a turnkey house is 20,000 - 24,000 rubles per 1 square meter, excluding the attic area. Although this option is often more expensive phased construction with the involvement of various performers, it practically does not require investment own forces and nerves. In addition, there are nice bonuses like free design of unique houses.

Cinder block is a colloquial name artificial stone made in a special form by vibrocompression or concrete mortar casting. Wall blocks are an excellent alternative to brick, surpassing it in performance characteristics and significantly lower in price. Their use makes it possible to simplify the technology of building construction, to lighten the load on bearing structures and reduce construction time.

A bit about the history of the issue

Previously, blast-furnace slag, a by-product of the metallurgical industry, was used in the manufacture of blocks. Despite the popularity of the material, there was one significant drawback among consumers - industrial waste could not boast of environmental friendliness. Therefore, the finished blocks were kept in the open air for about a year and only then they were put into construction.

Today, thanks to the development of technology, cinder blocks meet all safety requirements and continue to attract both individual developers and large construction companies.

We build a house from cinder block

It is difficult to imagine low-rise construction without the use of cinder block. Private houses, cottages, garages and utility rooms made of this material are distinguished by the speed of construction and an attractive price. And making cinder blocks with your own hands at home reduces the cost of construction even more.

Types of blocks, their fillers and binders

Solid or hollow wall blocks are made by hand in any suitable shape and from almost any material at hand:

• expanded clay,
• rubble,
• sawdust,
• brick fragments,
• sand as a filler
• cement and gypsum as binders.

The composition of both cinder block and foam block is truly unique.

For the production of material, you will need special equipment - a vibrating table and molds for pouring blocks. You can also try to make the equipment yourself, following the advice and instructions of the masters.

What to look for when buying a cinder block

Before building a cinder block house, weigh the pros and cons.

If you decide to build a cinder block house with your own hands, but do not want to engage in production, a few tips will help you not to make a mistake in choosing a material:

• When buying blocks, you need to pay attention to the manufacturer - a factory or a private trader (it is believed that the production technology is better maintained in the factory and better raw materials are used) and what kind of filler is in the blocks. The safest fillers for health are: shell rock, crushed stone, sawdust and expanded clay;
• Feel free to ask the seller about the characteristics of the material - the thermal conductivity, frost resistance, strength and density of the cinder block directly depend on the properties of the filler.

So, sand, pebbles or crushed stone are used in the production of solid blocks. They are characterized by high thermal conductivity, density and solid weight. Perlite and expanded clay, on the contrary, "lighten" the finished product and slightly reduce its thermal insulation properties;

• To check the strength of the finished product, you need to raise it by one and a half meters and release it. A few small chips - evidence of the strength of the block, cracks and breaks - are unacceptable.

Features of construction from cinder blocks

Building a house from cinder blocks with your own hands is not much different from brickwork, but takes less time, does not require special skills and abilities, however, it has a number of features:

• The cinder block is afraid of water, so building a house with your own hands from a cinder block should be started in dry weather and try to finish it before the rainy season;
• The "hydrophobia" of the building material dictates the need for construction high foundation and its good waterproofing;
• Experts recommend plastering the finished walls well on both sides (internal and external), while the layer of plaster can reach 2 cm.

Stages of building walls from blocks

• Tool preparation.

You will need: a hacksaw or a circular saw, a respirator (required when sawing), a building level, a mallet, a trowel, ordering and a plumb line, boards for collecting scaffolding.

• Preparatory work with the foundation.

As already mentioned, to build a cinder block house, you need a high and well-insulated foundation, preferably with a plinth.

• Wall laying.

To achieve the correct rectangle and subsequently even walls, the corners are first set. Four blocks are stacked at the top of the corners and aligned with a level. Next, a fishing line is pulled along which the walls will be laid out.

A mortar is applied to the foundation, and the first rows of blocks are laid. The first 3-4 rows need to be checked more often with a level, both in the vertical and horizontal planes - focusing on them, a flat surface of the walls is laid out.

The cement mortar is applied with a thickness of 1-1.5 cm, a thicker layer creates additional cold bridges and reduces the thermal insulation of the building as a whole. The blocks are tightly sequentially pressed against each other and tapped with a rubber mallet, excess mortar is removed with a trowel. Pros are advised to add red clay to it to improve the viscosity of the solution at the rate of 1/3 bucket of clay for 4 buckets of mortar.

Note! If you have already thought about how to build a house with your own hands from a cinder block, do not forget to take into account the construction of scaffolding in your plans. Even one-story low buildings of their wall blocks are erected from scaffolding, because ladders are unstable, they need to be constantly moved, and a bucket of mortar and building material should be kept in a canopy. All this cannot but affect the quality of the masonry.

• Completion of construction.

After the structure is completely dry, either the construction of the second floor or the roof begins. If your house is supposed to be two-story, then the top row of blocks should be reinforced with an iron belt. When constructing a roof, it is desirable to use wood for floors and rafters.

Cinder blocks are a popular wall material. It is often used in the construction industry for the construction of residential, office, utility rooms. Despite some shortcomings, it is considered one of the the best options to build a house.

Advantages and disadvantages of the material

Cinder blocks are produced by volumetric vibrocompression of concrete and various fillers: blast furnace slag, ash, gravel, perlite, expanded clay. The properties of the last component depend specifications material, in particular, its density (500 to 2000 kg / m³), ​​thermal conductivity (0.3 to 0.65 W / m ° C), frost resistance (15-35 freeze-thaw cycles).

This material is chosen for building a house due to its affordable price, lightness, volume, and quick masonry. It can even be built without the involvement of professionals. Walls made of this material do not burn well and retain heat well due to the special design of the blocks (there are cavities inside and the structure of the block is porous). But at the same time, do not forget about some disadvantages:

• high hygroscopicity, so the house needs high-quality heat and waterproofing;
• uneven surface, which requires mandatory finishing;
• the composition may contain harmful substances, you need to carefully choose a supplier and require a quality certificate (in artisanal conditions it is unacceptable);
• monolithic blocks are heavy, which can increase transportation costs.

Everyone will determine for himself a cinder block, but its shortcomings can be easily eliminated with a competent approach to building a house.

Foreman's advice: for finishing the walls of a cinder block dwelling, it is better to use not a traditional cement mortar, but a special one with increased strength. It has a more reliable grip on the surface, and conduct interior work(painting, wallpapering) will be much easier.

The technology of building a house from cinder block

You can build a cinder block house with your own hands. If you correctly approach the issue of wall insulation and waterproofing, then the owner will practically not feel the possible disadvantages. It is desirable to build a strip, columnar foundation on rocky-sandy soil and be sure to apply a layer of water-repellent material on it. Wall laying is carried out according to the same principle as brickwork: first we form corners, mark window and door openings and draw rows under the level. A cinder block house cannot be built without reinforcement. Each 3-4 row must be strengthened with an iron mesh, iron rods are used. The minimum thickness of a cinder block wall is 0.9 m.

The air gap between the wall and the outer cladding is filled with a heater with a thickness of at least 100 mm (polystyrene, expanded polystyrene, polyurethane foam). You can plaster the inner surface with your own hands with a water-repellent solution, sometimes they put an additional layer of insulation and only then fix the lining, paint, glue the wallpaper.

Foreman's advice: when building a house from a cinder block, it is risky to use reinforced concrete floors (unless you install an iron belt over the wall blocks), it is better to opt for wooden or slabs.

price issue

Many opt for this material precisely because of its basic advantages: affordable price, lightness, speed of masonry. The cost is lower than that of a brick. A full-bodied cinder block with dimensions of 400 * 200 * 200 can be bought for 35-60 rubles. apiece, hollow - about 40 p. Peregorodochnye will cost even cheaper. While one unit of brick costs about 12 r.

To build a house, for example, 10 × 10 m with 3 rooms and an attic, you will need approximately 2200 blocks. If we take the average price per piece - 50 rubles, we will spend 110 thousand rubles. for the purchase of wall material. But when laying a brick wall with a thickness of 2 stones per 1 m², 204 pieces will go. bricks. We multiply the area by this amount and get a total of 20,400 bricks. Now we take the average price per piece - 12 rubles. and do the same arithmetic operation. It turns out that we will need to spend 244,800 rubles on a house with an area of ​​100 m², and this does not include the cost of the solution, which is more than when using the first material.

Do-it-yourself cinder block house is a reliable and profitable solution. Individual disadvantages of the material can be easily eliminated by competent installation of heat and waterproofing materials. They will provide good operational properties dwellings, and the blocks guarantee its strength.

Cinder block is a very popular material in the construction market. It is famous for its availability and cheapness. In addition, cinder blocks can be made independently, which will save. But, before you start building a house from a cinder block, you need to decide on the projects and find out the price for them.

There are several ways to get a project:

• trust a professional who will qualitatively and competently approach the task. It must be understood that in this case it will be necessary to increase the total budget for the construction. Professionals charge a lot for their services. But in this case, you can not be afraid for the construction process, because a well-designed project is half the success;
• compose yourself. In this case, you can get the project for free. Of course, this process cannot be trusted to an unprepared person, because many factors must be taken into account;
• redo an existing project. This is the smartest way. In this case, everything will already be done in advance. It remains only to change some elements for yourself and take into account several factors.

According to the practice of life, it is best to repeat the successful completed project of a neighbor or acquaintance

Factors to consider:

• terrain type;
• soil type;
• soil freezing depth;
• the location of electrical wires and other communications. It must be borne in mind that the house should be located as close as possible to electrical lines. Otherwise, problems with connecting electricity in the house increase.

Cinder block and foam block are two very similar building materials. Therefore, the projects of houses from these blocks will be almost the same. If for some reason the projects do not fit or do not like, then the foam block option you like can be taken as a basis. In any case, the selected option will be redone to your liking, as well as based on the type of terrain.

Drawings of cinder block house projects

There are special catalogs of houses, which are divided into subspecies, as well as different types, depending on the required size of the future building.

The set of drawings includes the following sections:

• architectural section. This includes the layout of the roofs, the floor plan, as well as an indication of the exact dimensions of the future home;
• constructive section. This includes the layout of all elements of the foundation, roof structures and stairs;
• communication section, which includes the heating part, water supply and drainage systems, as well as the main elements for a comfortable stay in the house.

The project should also include the following information:

• thickness of load-bearing walls;
• number of rooms;
• size and number of windows and doors.

On the one hand, when building a house, it will not be possible to make any changes and deviate from the project, which is required very often. Therefore, it is necessary to take into account all the nuances in advance and draw it up correctly.

On the other side, without drawing up a project, it is impossible to start building a building in any case. In addition, when drawing up a document, you can calculate how much material is needed and find out how much it will cost to build a house.

AT complete project the volume and composition of the necessary building materials must be indicated

Projects of a cinder block house with an attic

Many are interested in whether it is possible to build a house from cinder blocks with an attic. Basically, the bearing capacity and strength of the cinder block allows you to do this. In addition, in this case, you can save on the external decoration of the walls, which will be replaced by the roofing part of the attic.

When choosing a project for a cinder block house with an attic, it is necessary at this stage to determine what dimensions the second floor will have, as well as what will be there.

In the attic, you can build the following rooms:

• billiard room;
• sports room;
• workshop;
• Studio;
• study;
• restroom;
• bedroom;
• game.

Thus, the attic can be used for every taste. But you need to understand that a house with an attic has not only pluses, but also minuses.

Advantages of building a cinder block house with an attic:

• beautiful appearance Houses;
• additional living space and placement of any room;
• saving building materials for facing external walls.

Cons of building a house with an attic:

• additional costs for the installation of a ventilation system;
• extra costs for heating the attic;
• with a large angle of inclination of the roof, the ceilings will turn out to be low. This results in problems with the furnishings of the attic room;
• additional costs for the installation of inclined double-glazed windows.

Popular cinder block house designs

Along with other projects, there are the most popular projects, which for many serve as a benchmark that can be modified to suit your needs. Each house project has its own name.

Standard projects allow you to make certain changes in them, but only a specialist can determine their measure

Captain

This is a project of a cinder block house with 2 floors. The dimensions of the house are 14.3 × 10.7 meters. The first floor of the cottage is 94.5 square meters. There is a living room, a terrace, a kitchen, an entrance hall and a boiler room.
