KOMPAS.com - In the midst of an unstable economic conditions of today, ideal to build a house on the cheap seems a dream. But in the eyes of architects sekaligu author of "Dream House Beautiful", Yu Sing, low-cost building a house is not something impossible.

To realize a low-cost housing, Yu Sing gives some important guidelines that are the result of his experience in the design of several low-cost housing, either already built, which is being built, and which is still in the design process.

"Surely this experience to design low-cost housing can not be the final reference, but as a giver of encouragement for those who want to build a house with limited costs," he said.

There are at least three important things according to Yu Sing that must be met to realize that the use of low-cost housing architects, structural design houses and use appropriate materials.

For the first case, Yu Sing admitted there are still many people trapped on the wrong assumption about the architect. People consider the architect's services are always expensive, so the construction feels cheap without architects.

"And that's not true, it is architects still seem to be exclusive, but some are not set high tariffs," said Yu Sing.

He asserted, not all architects set a high paying. Not a few architects who are ready to provide its service with the pay in accordance with the bags.

By using the services of architects, information Yu Sing, society can save costs because the architect can assist in making the structure, space, and material selection for efficient and effective. Use the services of architects also assist you in making a good home design.

"Houses that are well designed, can affect a person's life becomes more positive and quality. So also in the context of otherwise. If the spaces of everyday life cramped, attitudes can also be affected to be stuffy," says Yu Sing.

The second thing that must be fulfilled is the structural design. Somewhat different from the design house of beranggaran funds loose, low-cost housing designs actually begins with the design structure system first, rather than starting from architectural design.

"The system is very efficient structures that determine the home construction budget, because usually the cost structure of the house around 40-50 percent of the cost keselururuhan," said Yu Sing.

One example is the plan for the roof structure. For this section, the use of fiber-cement roof (no asbestos content) for example will be much cheaper when compared with tile roof, because it is not necessary kaso and battens.

In addition, if the width of the house no more than 400 cm, it is not necessary structures horses. The distance between the first floor of the two is actually quite 250 cm if you have enough ventilation for openings and space sizes. This can save costs walls, structural columns and stairs.

The structure of the second floor can also use the multiplex frame structure that can be coated with a thin coating of cast cement tiles. This floor structure will be lighter than the concrete floor so that the columns and beams can be much smaller buffer.

The last point is not less important in lower cost housing is the use of building materials or materials with relatively inexpensive prices. Quite a lot of basic or cheap materials that can be explored its use or installation means to form an interesting sensation of space.

For example, red-brick can have only so many possible ways formulation. Can be mounted as usual, or are given so that the distance between the red brick walls with holes, or brick is installed with the variation of the composition of a brick and half brick, and others.

Another example of cheap materials are bamboo. Usually bamboo is seen as a secondary material, but is currently a popular material because of the strength of fiber that could replace steel reinforcement. With a good system of preservation, bamboo can be a primary material houses that survived dozens of houses. It also could use recycled materials or used as frame or door.

The selection of cheap materials for the roof frame should also be considered. Nowadays the trend in the use of the roof were wearing Lightweight steel roof. Indeed ringandibandingkan steel roof with a roof of a wooden house a little more expensive but for long term lightweight steel roof can be much cheaper due to lightweight steel roof requires no maintenance at all. while the roof of the timber needs treatment that is prone to termites and can be eaten moldy within a certain age so that the necessary replacement of the wooden roof of the house so that the cost of the roof twice. using lightweight steel roof cost roof hanyya then once. So for long term lightweight steel roof can be much cheaper. when a light steel roof for the home compared with the heavy steel lightweight steel roof is also cheaper than the heavy steel roof.
