Modern economic conditions often confuse those who want to acquire their own square meters: the cost of apartments in new buildings in most cases is similar to the cost of individual small houses. Of course, not everyone wants to get involved in individual construction, but those who decide to take this step will definitely never regret their deeds.

For those who want to save both money and space on the site, there is a worthy option - a 6 by 6 house, two-story. Its layout can be done as efficiently as possible, because there will be enough space for living.

These dimensions are not taken from the ceiling: it is these parameters that can create an optimal and sufficient area for an average family to live. If the internal layout of the premises is carried out effectively, usable space can be used in full - up to 70 m2. At the same time, a 6 by 6 two-story house, the layout of which takes into account the entire internal territory, will be able to accommodate large quantity rooms than city ​​apartment the same area.

What to build from?

To build a house, any modern construction material: foam block (gas block), beam, log, frame system filled with sandwich panels. The choice depends on personal preferences and financial capabilities of the developer.

In addition to wishes, the choice of material is influenced by the purpose of the house. If it is not intended for year-round use (country), massive wall structures should not be used to preserve heat, and, conversely, heating devices and appropriate communication systems should be provided for permanent residence. From any of the materials listed above, you can build both a summer house and a capital house. Next, consider the pros and cons of popular options.

stone castle

The most common material for building a house is lightweight concrete in the form of gas and foam blocks. Not surprising, because it is durable, as safe and efficient as possible in operation:

• high sound insulation;
• thermal insulation;
• the material is not subject to combustion;
• resistant to temperature changes.

In addition, its installation is quick and relatively economical. The house 6 by 6 is two-story, the layout of the foam blocks of which is quite simple, being built in a short period of time - from 2 weeks to a month. Such material allows you to create and equip your corner in the shortest possible time.

The advantages also include an economical foundation: for small house there is no need to install a massive base, a shallow tape one is enough. This is quickly mounted, requires minimal cost on materials, quickly becomes suitable for further construction based on it.

The disadvantages include the need to finish all walls without exception: bare concrete looks unpresentable. This is where the shortcomings probably end.

You give a choice of natural materials!

Wooden materials are divided into several groups:

• log rounded;
• timber glued / solid;
• components of sandwich panels.

Professional builder. 20 years of experience

The most common and popular is a wooden house 6 by 6 two-story. Timber planning is economical in terms of financial costs and installation.

The construction of the building is carried out quickly and easily thanks to the tongue-and-groove system for connecting fragments.

The foundation for such a structure can be used the cheapest - columnar or pile-screw, since the weight of the house is small, and a solid foundation is not required.

How to make a compact layout

Creating a project - milestone work, which determines the entire construction process. Entrust it to professionals or do it yourself - the choice of everyone. Of course, architects will complete the task as efficiently and quickly as possible, but it costs money. For those who want to save money, consider a way to create a 6 by 6 two-story house, the layout of which will be compact.

• On a piece of paper, create a drawing diagram with proportions for ease of measurement.
• First of all, designate the perimeter, the location of the roads.
• Decide on the desired number of rooms. To save space, you can combine a kitchen with a living room, a bathroom with a toilet, pantries can either be moved to the street, or their area can be reduced to a minimum.
• Designate the location of the rooms in accordance with the proportions, indicate their sizes.
• Determine the design and configuration of the roof, the location of doors and windows.

What is the price?

since we are talking about savings, you need to highlight financial side question. Small house from a turnkey timber can be delivered on average for 400-500 thousand rubles. It all depends on the layout, wall thickness and other options. A block cottage 6x6 meters will cost 1-1.5 million rubles. Obviously, these prices for residential premises with an area of ​​65-70 m2 are significantly lower than the cost of the same spaces in multi-apartment residential buildings. Of course, this does not include the purchase land plot. But if you look, then the total costs for your corner, separate or in a residential complex, are approximately the same. Therefore, to each his own.

Foam concrete construction

Small-sized architectural forms, which include the project of a house 6 by 6 from foam blocks, is quite in demand in the private sector when building a site. In fact, with such dimensions, many design ensembles can be realized, but our goal is not the decoration of the building, but the construction of the foundation along with the box.

Foundation

• The most common types of foundations for houses made of foam blocks are pile (in rare cases, columnar) and tape (monolithic or prefabricated). We will pay attention to the most solid option, to a monolithic tape and briefly analyze the principles of its installation and the required amount of materials for pouring. For marking on the site, we need a plan of the house or its 1st floor, which is located above, in order to create a zero cycle for bearing walls and partitions.
• Let's say that we have non-rocky soil on the site to be built, then we will make the foundation shallow, 60 cm from the sole to the ground level and 40 cm the tape will act as a base above the surface. We will make the thickness of the tape 0.5 m, but we will have to dig a trench at least 0.8 m deep, leaving 20 cm for a sand (or crushed stone) pillow. Now, based on the plan of the 1st floor, we calculate the total length of the trench.
• So, we need a foundation for a 6 by 6 house made of foam blocks, but in addition to the square on the plan, we have a protruding terrace and partitions, under which we need to fill in tape jumpers. This means that the entire trench will be: 6 * 4 + 3 * 2 + 1.5 * 5 + 1 + 0.5 * 2 \u003d 39.5 linear meters. Now you can find out the amount of concrete, for this we need the total volume of the tape: 39.5 / 1.0 * 0.5-19.75 m3.
• In the same way, you can calculate the number of components for a concrete mix, for example, we will use the popular brand of concrete M 300, then for one cube we need 385 kg of cement M 400, 1080 kg of crushed stone or gravel, 705 kg of coarse sand and about 220 liters of water (everything depends on the moisture content of the fillers ). Everything else is already somewhat simpler, since we know the cubic capacity of the tape, then the cement will go 19.75 * 385 = 7603.75 m3; crushed stone - 19.75 * 705 \u003d 13923.75 m3; sand - 19.75*1080=21330m3; water approximately 19.75 * 220 \u003d 4345l. You will also need sand for a pillow, and this is 39.5 * 0.2 * 0.5 \u003d 3.95 m3.
• For metal frame at strip foundation reinforcement with a cross section of 10 to 16 mm is usually used as longitudinal load-bearing rods, but given that the projects of 6 by 6 houses made of foam blocks are quite light, the instruction allows using a diameter of 12 mm. This means that we need 39.5 * 4 \u003d 156m of longitudinal bearings (two rods at the upper and lower levels), and if we take into account that each profile has 6m, then 156/6 \u003d 26 rods.
• For jumpers, you can use corrugated or smooth-walled fittings with a diameter of 8 to 10 mm. With these tape sizes optimal dimensions the frame will be 3075 cm, which means that the vertical jumpers will be 0.8 m each, and the horizontal 0.35 m each and the ring will be 2.5 m in total. If we make them step by 0.5m, then we need 39.5 / 0.5 * 2.5 = 197.5m or 197.5 / 6 = 32.9 or 33 pieces
• The reinforcement is connected using soft steel wire and it is knitted by hand, but for this they use a variety of devices - pliers, screwdrivers and even special pistols, but the hook remains the most popular, with a bent rod ground into a cone. For each joint, about 0.5 m of wire is consumed, and we get a total of 39.5 / 0.5 * 4 = 316 joints, which means that we need approximately 316 * 0.5 = 158 m of soft wire.
• Advice. On water-saturated soils, it is better to make a pillow under the foundation tape from crushed stone or gravel, or pour two layers of 20 cm each - sand and gravel. If necessary, the tape must be equipped with cut-off waterproofing or even drainage pipe, having dug it at the level of the sole with a slope of 1 cm / 1 m at a distance of 1.5-2 m from the foundation.

Walling

• After erecting the foundation, we need to make a floor and for this, reinforced concrete floors are excellent, as can be seen in top photo. Given that we have a 6x6 house made of foam blocks with a terrace, we will need two types of PK 60-12-8 (5980x1190x220 mm) slabs - 5 pieces and for the ledge of the PK 30-12-8 terrace (2980x1190x220 mm) - 1 piece. But exactly the same floors are suitable for the ceiling, which means that the whole set must be multiplied by 2 and we get PK 60-12-8 (5980x1190x220 mm) - 10 pieces and PK 30-12-8 (2980x1190x220 mm) - 2 pieces.
• And now let's look at several types of masonry and the number of blocks that will be consumed if they are laid in one way or another. For load-bearing walls, we will take a foam block 200x300x600 mm and try to raise the wall in two ways - into a whole stone and half a stone. Masonry in a whole stone implies the position of the block on the bed, poking in and out of the house.
• Let's take 2.8m as the estimated height (together with the seams, this will turn out to be 2.87m) and find out the total area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe bearing walls, it will be Swalls \u003d 6 * 3 + 1.5 * 2 + 3) * 2.8 \u003d 67.2 m2. If the masonry will be carried out in one whole stone, then we will need another poke area, and this is Poke = 200 * 200 = 60000 mm2 = 0.06m2. In this case, for all load-bearing walls, when laying in a whole stone, Swalls / Sbutting \u003d 67.2 / 0.06 \u003d 1120 pieces will be needed.
• Also, projects of 6x6 houses made of foam blocks (bearing walls) can be carried out with half-stone masonry, which, of course, will reduce thermal insulation, but material consumption will significantly decrease, and someone may find it quite reasonable that the thermal barrier can be installed separately. Half-stone laying implies the position of the block on the bed, with spoons outside and inside the house.
• We already know the area of ​​​​the bearing wall, now we find out the area of ​​\u200b\u200ba spoon, and this is S spoon \u003d 200 * 600 \u003d 60000 mm2 \u003d 0.12 m2. Thus, we can find out the number of blocks for all load-bearing walls and this will turn out to be Swalls / Sspoon \u003d 67.2 / 0.12 \u003d 560 pieces. As you can see, the number of foam blocks turned out to be half as much, and if you use, for example, mineral wool for insulation and line it with siding, then the price for all the work in the second case will be more profitable, besides, the first option remains without lining for the same money .
• We continue to consider the project of a house made of 6x6m foam blocks, in which we need to build partitions, but we will already do this in a quarter of a stone and use a different block size for this - 600x300x100 mm, which is quite acceptable inside the apartment. Of course, you can put other sizes, but for the example we will use this one. Laying in a quarter of a stone means the position of the block on a spoon, with beds to the sides, and butt-to-butt.
• If a total length we have 6 * 4 + 3 * 2 + 1.5 * 5 + 1 + 0.5 * 2 = 39.5 m of walls, and the length of the bearing ones is 24 m, which means that we have 39.5-24 = 15.5 m for the partitions linear. The area of ​​all partitions will be S partitions = 15.5 * 2.8 = 44.24 m2, and the area of ​​the bed S bed = 600 * 300 = 180,000 mm2 = 0.18 m2. Now we find out the total number of blocks - S partitions / S beds \u003d 44.24 / 0.18 \u003d 245.7 or 246 pieces.

Design

Every design organization has its own finished projects houses of any size, adapted to the region. If one of them suits you, then it will cost much less than what you have to develop from scratch.

What should be in the project

Since you are going to build a 6 × 6 aerated concrete residential building for year-round use, the package of documents must contain a technical section with communication schemes:

• heating;
• Water supply;
• Sewerage;
• Power supply.

In addition, the project of a 6 × 6 aerated concrete house should contain information about the exterior and interior finishes. This is important because given material, which has excellent heat-saving properties, loses them, saturated with moisture.

Therefore, first of all, after the completion of the main construction, the house is trimmed from the outside in order to protect the walls from precipitation and humid air.

Where to "grow"

This issue is usually decided based on the size and shape of the site and the needs of the family.

• If the land plot is small or narrow, it is more logical to build the house up - so it will take up less space.
• If the area of ​​​​the site is large, and there are elderly people and small children in the house, it is better to “grow” in breadth.

But there are some nuances associated with the alteration of the roof. The price of such alteration is usually quite noticeable.

Of course, in the future it will be easier and cheaper to add a couple of rooms to the house, extending the existing roof to the extension. You can’t do without a little bloodshed on the second floor, since the roof will have to be completely removed, and then re-mounted.

In your case, you can advise the third option. Namely - to build a one-and-a-half-story house right away. To do this, you will have to raise the outer walls by only a meter and a half, which will not greatly affect the rise in price.

The advantages of this option are obvious:

• Spending a little more money now will save you big in the future.
• In a few years, you will not have to make an opening in the ceiling or a door in outer wall, breaking the decoration of residential premises.
• The second floor can not be finished yet and not spend money on stairs. And in its place for now place small bedroom.

Features of construction from gas blocks

The fact that aerated concrete loses its positive properties when wet has already been mentioned. This must be kept in mind during transport and storage of the material.

In addition, the instruction prescribes to take into account other features of the material:

• When building from aerated concrete blocks, it is desirable to make thin seams. This stuff is like everything else. cellular concrete, has a high thermal resistance. And thick cement joints reduce this figure for finished walls by tens of percent.
  For reference. Aerated concrete manufacturers recommend using special glue and tools for laying blocks, which can reduce the thickness of the joints to 3-5 mm without losing the quality of installation.
• This material is very vapor-permeable, which puts it on a par with wood in terms of the comfort of living in such a building. But only if the water vapor formed in the house will freely go outside without accumulating in the walls. Therefore, the interior and exterior finishes must be thought out so that the vapor permeability of each layer increases outward. Or it is necessary to design good supply and exhaust ventilation.

Solving a housing problem usually involves a lot of spending. But modern materials can significantly reduce them without sacrificing the quality of housing. These materials include aerated concrete.

An example of calculating the required number of foam concrete blocks

Having decided to build a house from foam blocks, you need to decide on the amount of material required for this. AT this case it is much easier to make calculations than when building a building from another building material, be it brick or wood.

The foam blocks are large in size, they fit in one row, like children's cubes, therefore, knowing the dimensions of the house that they are going to build and the dimensions of these “cubes”, you can easily calculate with very high accuracy and order just as much as you need. This will allow you not to overpay money for extra materials and for their delivery.

The length of the house is 6 meters, width - 6 m. Height - 3 m.

The perimeter of the house is 24 m (6x4). The total area of ​​the walls is 24 x 3 = 72 square meters.

Calculate the area of ​​windows and doorways. Let us (conditionally) have 5 windows (let's take standard, plastic ones). Two windows on the facade of the house with a size of 1770x1460mm, and 3 windows with a size of 1470x1460mm.

We multiply all these numbers, add them up and get that the total area of ​​\u200b\u200ball windows will be 11.6 square meters. m. Since we calculated the area of ​​​​the windows themselves, and the window openings should be somewhat larger, we can safely round this figure up to 12 square meters. meters.

Standard steel doors dimensions 99 x 208 mm require a doorway measuring 102 x 210 mm. Thus, the area of ​​the doorway is 2.142 sq. m. (round up to two).

So, the total area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe walls, minus openings for windows and doors, will be: 72 - 12 -2 \u003d 58 square meters. meters.

Material characteristics

A small building in the form of a miniature country dwelling, technical room, workshop, garage is a 6x6 house made of foam blocks. They like to build such buildings because of their positive characteristics. The most important among them will be:

• absolute safety for health;
• light weight;
• affordable price;
• excellent quality;
• ease of construction of any structures.

The small area of ​​the building in question makes it possible to erect it in short time. This does not require special skills in the construction field.

The final result of the construction of the object will depend on the originality of the project and the features of the architectural complex.

Using a minimum amount of building materials, a fairly spacious building is created, convenient for permanent residence. It can accommodate up to 3 people at the same time. Such houses retain heat well, do not allow extraneous sounds to penetrate into the room, and are not afraid of dampness.

As a result of the use of foam blocks and aerated concrete, a lightweight version of the house is obtained. The considered materials have similar features: the first version of the product is made using concrete. The resulting air bubbles are located in the material cavity itself, inside.

The second option is associated with the active inclusion of aluminum chips in the production. They actively interact with oxygen, heat up and release gas.

The foam block has a softer base and a high degree of moisture resistance, its cost is much lower than that of aerated concrete. These cells, unlike foam blocks, belong to open type, providing active interaction of air bubbles.

Aerated concrete is manufactured under industrial conditions, thoroughly dried in an autoclave. Its geometry is impeccable, which ensures a high-quality masonry process and acceleration in work.

Features of building houses from foam blocks

A house made of foam blocks 6x6 is distinguished by some originality of construction. So, at the time of drafting the project, measures should be taken to protect the material from harmful effects. natural character. In the process of such an influence, the blocks quickly become unusable.

If measures are not taken in time, the walls will crack, and cold will pass through the holes formed. One of the available methods that allow timely protection from external influences is the restriction of air access to the base. For such purposes, the surface is plastered.

Recommendation! To build a house from foam blocks, it is important to take care of the correct ratio of the thickness of the layers with the outer and inside. Moisture and air should not pass through such a shell. If a the necessary conditions are not observed, the walls may warp and become unusable, and fungi and mold will quickly appear from the inside.

Cinder blocks can bring another nuisance: at the time of construction of the structure to a height of more than 2 m, the wall may fall or completely fall apart. Such phenomena can be observed as a result of incorrect calculations or hasty actions of builders. At the time of completion of work, it is important to finish the walls outside and inside due to the fact that foam concrete bases do not quite beautiful coverage which needs to be corrected.

As exterior finish almost all building materials are suitable for foam concrete floors, because these products are soft, which allows you to mount any cladding on them. It could be facing brick, siding, wood, clinker tiles, drywall, thin-walled plaster.

Traditionally, cement is not used for the installation of such houses, but glue, which is very economical. Only 3 mm of the applied composition will provide reliable adhesion to the surface.

For the construction of walls from foam blocks, you should use such devices as:

• Master OK;
• level, plumb;
• mallet;
• sanding paper;
• material;
• cement and sand.

Installation steps

Training.

The construction of buildings from cinder concrete implies not only carrying out installation work but also surface preparation.

First, a plan is drawn up, with which you can easily determine the number of products used. The project will help to identify those areas that cause certain difficulties during the installation process, distribute communications, windows and doors in the desired sequence.

Next, you can buy materials and insulating coatings. After that, soil preparation should be carried out: dig a pit right size under the foundation. If loose soils are present on the site, it is necessary to build a pile support.

Recommendation! When choosing between cement mortar and adhesive, it is important to understand that the second option is distinguished by a thin layer and good adhesion to the surface. As a result of the use of such a composition, the appearance of cracks is reduced to zero.

Building a foundation.

The foundation for a small house looks like columns built of bricks. Logs are placed on top of them, after which the subfloor is laid. It is not recommended to use cinder blocks for the construction of such supports.

Considering the fact that the foam block house has small area, moreover, the material itself is lightweight; in this case, strengthening the foundation is not required. It will be enough to have a tape support 40 cm wide without reinforcement.

Here it is important to make a sand embankment under the foundation 30 cm high. The structure support itself should be located at a depth of 5 cm below the soil freezing line. So, for a building of 6x6 m, the best option would be 70 cm. Such work is done during the day.

Before the beginning construction works should study the peculiarity of the soil of the area. Such activities will allow you to choose the right method of construction and necessary building materials. After the foundation has been built, it should dry out within 2-3 months, after which you can begin to build walls. Here it is very important to monitor the evenness of the first rows, which will facilitate further work.

Building walls.

The recommended wall thickness is 30 cm, one row of blocks will be enough to provide the building with heat. This material should be laid immediately on the finished foundation, covered with a layer of roofing material and leveled with cement mortar.

Attention! The installation process starts from the corners of the structure

To begin with, the highest point is selected, the first row of blocks is laid out on it. Focusing on it, a cord is pulled along which the following blocks are equal. The impeccability of the coating is periodically checked by the level. The cement mortar is placed on the base and on individual parts of the product. Excess composition is removed with a mallet. Defects and uneven areas polished with special paper. Debris and dust after such finishing should be carefully swept away.

Approaching the construction of load-bearing walls, it is worth noting that their height will be 3 cm lower than other structures. This will help to significantly reduce the load on them. Existing gaps are covered with plaster.

A well-chosen layout will help reduce the number of load-bearing walls in the building or will contribute to their complete rejection.

Since the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe house is small in size, openings must be made of appropriate sizes. Often they are trimmed with wood. Do not forget that this material is plastic and easily changes under the influence of external indicators. Therefore, the end parts of their beams must be insulated from moisture.

Roof construction.

This important stage of work does not tolerate savings. The roof must be built in accordance with the rules of construction with high-quality ventilation. Among modern materials, convenient for covering the roof, ondulin is suitable. It is inexpensive, strong and outwardly attractive.

The foam block house has fairly strong walls. They freely withstand the mass of roofing rafters made from any raw material. For such roofs, waterproofing and warming measures are carried out. Ceilings between floors are made of wood. Concrete plates are not used here because of their heavy weight capable of causing damage to the walls.

External finishing.

The construction of houses from the foam block ends with the facing of the building.

As materials for such decoration use:

• plaster with special compositions intended for foam blocks;
• siding with a layer of mineral wool;
• facing brick;
• natural and artificial stone;
• composite panels of high strength.

As materials for interior decoration, apply:

• plaster;
• lining made of wood;
• drywall.

All types of cinder blocks are attached to the walls finishing materials, their walls are soft and easy to drill. To make a hole for switches and sockets, it is taken electric drill and a special attachment for it.

Construction of reinforced houses

In the process of building small-sized houses, a peculiar technology is used. It boils down to the fact that reinforcement is not required here. In the construction of large-sized buildings, everything is different. In this case, you simply cannot do without it: the blocks will not be able to withstand a heavy load, as a result of which the walls may crack.

Considered construction technology small houses will allow you to create a structure that will delight you with warmth, coziness and comfort at any time of the year.

House 6 to 6 from foam blocks

Friends, today I want to bring to your attention an excellent project of a country house - inexpensive cottage from foam blocks with a living area of ​​32 m2. Building area 6 by 6 meters. The layout of the house is such that it is suitable for a comfortable family of 2-3 people.

The house has two entrances - from the side of the street and from the yard. Let's take a closer look at the plan of the house.

Through double doors we get directly into the living-dining room (1). The room is small, only 18 meters, but everything is thought out to the smallest detail. It is zoned into two parts - the kitchen itself with a full front and the living room, where a sofa and several wardrobes fit.

From the living room there is an entrance to a small bedroom (3) with an area of ​​9 sq. meters. From the kitchen you can get to the combined bathroom (2), equipped with a shower, with an area of ​​5 sq. meters.

If there is no need to arrange a bathroom in the house, then this room can be turned into another bedroom or office. Additional street door from the kitchen leads to the backyard (garden).

The windows are double-chamber single-leaf. The roof is metal. The height of the roof allows you to make a small living space in the attic, which can be insulated mineral wool 50 mm thick.

The house is placed on a monolithic foundation slab, in my opinion - the most the best solution for the foundation. Suitable for any soil.

In front of the house there is a wooden pergola, on which you can plant grapes or other creepers (clematis, wisteria, kampsis). If desired, instead of a pergola, you can make a covered terrace or even a veranda. In the latter case, this will make the house warmer and suitable for all-season living.

Metal tile looks good soft tiles, bituminous corrugated sheet, etc. The total mass of the building allows you to reduce the cost of arranging the foundation, to make its design simpler.

House of foam blocks 6x6: the price of a cottage is available to almost everyone

Construction cost consists of a large number various factors, which may vary depending on each other. There are the following components that have a significant impact on the estimate of a 6 × 6 foam block house: price land works, delivery of building materials, performance of certain types of work.

It should be noted that ordering the construction of a turnkey cottage will ultimately cost much less than if you look for contractors specializing in one thing.

The reason for this is that large construction companies the work process is debugged to the smallest details. The price of a foam block house with an area of ​​​​6 × 6 meters will be lower, if only because the company has signed long-term contracts for the supply of building materials. Of course, with large purchases, their cost will be much lower than in retail. There are many other nuances that have a significant impact on the final cost of construction. country cottage. It is quite difficult to understand all the intricacies without experience in performing work, special education. Therefore, it is better to entrust it to professionals.

Modern economic conditions often confuse those who want to acquire their own square meters: the cost of apartments in new buildings in most cases is similar to the cost of individual small houses. Of course, not everyone wants to get involved in individual construction, but those who decide to take this step will definitely never regret their deeds.

Optimal solution

For those who want to save both money and space on the site, there is a worthy option - a 6 by 6 house, two-story. Its layout can be done as efficiently as possible, because there will be enough space for living.

These dimensions are not taken from the ceiling: it is these parameters that can create an optimal and sufficient area for an average family to live. If the internal breakdown of the premises is carried out effectively, the usable space can be used in full - up to 70 m 2. At the same time, a 6 by 6 two-story house, the layout of which takes into account the entire internal territory, will be able to accommodate more rooms than a city apartment of the same area.

What to build from?

For the construction of a house, any modern building material can be used: foam block (gas block), timber, log, frame system filled with sandwich panels. The choice depends on personal preferences and financial capabilities of the developer.

In addition to wishes, the choice of material is influenced by the purpose of the house. If it is not intended for year-round use (country), massive wall structures should not be used to preserve heat, and, conversely, heating devices and appropriate communication systems should be provided for permanent residence. From any of the materials listed above, you can build both a summer house and a capital house. Next, consider the pros and cons of popular options.

The most common material for building a house is lightweight concrete in the form of gas and foam blocks. Not surprising, because it is durable, as safe and efficient as possible in operation:

• high sound insulation;
• thermal insulation;
• the material is not subject to combustion;
• resistant to temperature changes.

In addition, its installation is quick and relatively economical. The house 6 by 6 is two-story, the layout of the foam blocks of which is quite simple, being built in a short period of time - from 2 weeks to a month. Such material allows you to create and equip your corner in the shortest possible time.

An economical foundation can also be attributed to the pluses: for a small house there is no need to install a massive base, a shallowly buried tape one is enough. This is quickly mounted, requires minimal material costs, quickly becomes suitable for further construction based on it.

The disadvantages include the need to finish all walls without exception: bare concrete looks unpresentable. This is where the shortcomings probably end.

As you can see, the space is used very effectively.

You give a choice of natural materials!

Wooden materials are divided into several groups:

• log rounded;
• timber glued / solid;
• components of sandwich panels.

The most common and popular is a wooden house 6 by 6 two-story. Timber planning is economical in terms of financial costs and installation. The construction of the building is carried out quickly and easily thanks to the tongue-and-groove system for connecting fragments.

The foundation for such a structure can be used the cheapest - columnar or pile-screw, since the weight of the house is small, and a solid foundation is not required.

How to make a compact layout

Creating a project is an important stage of work that determines the entire construction process. Entrust it to professionals or do it yourself - the choice of everyone. Of course, architects will complete the task as efficiently and quickly as possible, but it costs money. For those who want to save money, consider a way to create a 6 by 6 two-story house, the layout of which will be compact.

• On a piece of paper, create a drawing diagram with proportions for ease of measurement. First of all, designate the perimeter, the location of the roads.
• Decide on the desired number of rooms. To save space, you can have a bathroom with a toilet, pantries can either be moved to the street, or their area can be reduced to a minimum.
• Designate the location of the rooms in accordance with the proportions, indicate their sizes.
• Determine the design and configuration of the roof, the location of doors and windows.

What is primarily taken into account when a 6-by-6 two-story house is being built? Layout. The photo below shows one of best options construction (the lower tier is enlarged).

These schemes may well fit as working materials for the construction team. But for documentary registration of the house, you still have to draw up a project with dignity.

As you can see, it is not difficult to create a 6 by 6 two-story house. The layout of blocks or wood should take into account that it is not wasted.

What is the price?

Since we are talking about savings, we need to highlight the financial side of the issue. A small house made of turnkey timber can be delivered on average for 400-500 thousand rubles. It all depends on the layout, wall thickness and other options. A block cottage 6x6 meters will cost 1-1.5 million rubles. Obviously, these prices for residential premises with an area of ​​65-70 m 2 are significantly lower than the cost of the same spaces in multi-apartment residential buildings. Of course, this does not include the purchase of land. But if you look, then the total costs for your corner, separate or in a residential complex, are approximately the same. Therefore, to each his own.

Foam blocks are a modern and highly demanded building material. This joint development of engineers and manufacturers has an inexpensive cost, allows you to build a structure in the shortest possible time, is safe from an environmental point of view, reliable and durable at the same time.

It is not surprising that all more people houses and cottages are built from this material. In the article, we will look at the popular projects of foam block country houses, find out what nuances there are when using this material.

Description and features

Foam blocks are good because they have a decent size, allowing you to build a building in a very short time. This makes the construction process fast, and at the same time quite simple.

In general, no other building material can be compared with houses made of foam blocks in terms of the speed of construction. In one summer you can build country house, and in the fall already celebrate housewarming: with foam blocks this is quite a common situation.

A big plus of the material is that immediately after the construction of the box at home, you can already start installing communications and interior decoration.

The production of foam blocks is an elementary, simple, but at the same time very interesting process. To prepare this building material, cement mortar mixed with sand and water, supplementing all this with a special foaming agent. The last component gives the finished material a specific porous structure. But how the construction of a bath from foam blocks takes place, and how this happens, you can understand by watching the video

On the video - how to build a country house from foam blocks:

The weight of one block is about 25 kg. It should be noted that this is a rather voluminous element. One block has the following standard parameters: 20x30x60 cm. Based on these figures, you can accurately calculate how many blocks will be needed to build a house of any size. Keep in mind that for the construction of one square meter the wall takes approximately 8.3 blocks.

Foam blocks are fastened not to cement, like bricks, but to a special glue that securely and firmly holds the wall elements in the same plane.

Pros of foam blocks

Let's find out what advantages this unique building material has.

Foam blocks are inexpensive, which is very important at the present time. Of course, it is recommended to purchase this material with a margin of about one third due to its some fragility, but even in this case, foam blocks are beneficial.

Blocks weigh a little, which facilitates the construction process. In addition, this advantage does not create a strong load on the foundation. Due to the fact that the foam blocks are of decent size, the construction process is proceeding at a fast pace.

The material is easily processed: it can be cut, sawn, hewn, giving the necessary shape.

On the video - the advantages of foam blocks:

Foam blocks are environmentally friendly, safe for health, do not cause allergies, maintain an excellent microclimate in the building. Their composition includes only water, river sand and cement.

Due to the porous structure, the blocks contribute to the excellent thermal insulation of the country house. In addition to this most important characteristic, foam blocks also protect interior spaces from external sounds.

The speed of building houses from the foam block is really unique. So, a pair of working hands will cope with the erection of an average size country house from foam blocks in one summer.

Due to its lightness, the material does not need a solid foundation, which reduces the cost and speeds up the construction of the building. Building a house from foam blocks is like playing a real-time constructor.

A country house made of foam concrete is very easy to finish on the outside. After the erection of the walls, the workers receive a ready-made flat plane, which only needs to be painted. If there is a need and desire for a more thorough finish, then you can easily finish the outer walls of foam blocks with siding, clapboard, panels, block house. Blocks have standard sizes and accurate, regular geometric shape, very convenient for construction.

Minuses

To complete the picture, it is also necessary to familiarize yourself with the shortcomings of the material.

Foam blocks are quite fragile - this is their main drawback. They easily crumble, break, break and deform when dropped. This is precisely the reason why when buying material it is recommended to purchase immediately a third more than the required amount.

The material is highly susceptible to water damage. Therefore, it is recommended to sheathe the house with protective material from the outside, as well as provide the building with high-quality waterproofing.

Blocks are not the most durable building material. It is guaranteed to serve 50 years, and then - how lucky: it all depends on external conditions, compliance with construction technology, accuracy of operation, tightness of the protective sheathing.

On the video - the possible disadvantages of using the material:

Due to the significant volumes of blocks, the finished building turns out to be rather “clumsily” executed, rough. From this material it will not be possible to make small, elegant details. However, the problem is largely solved by the final outer skin of the house: it can be siding, lining, decorative rock, another interesting material.

House projects

House 6x8

A country house made of foam blocks with such parameters is a rather popular project. Such a compact house will not take up much space on the site, but the saved usable area can be given under the beds with vegetables and berries.

As a rule, projects of houses with an area of ​​​​6x8 are distinguished by their simplicity of design, the absence of “bells and whistles” and decorative excesses. Elements such as a terrace, attic, balconies, bay windows and others are rarely used in this case due to the need to save space.

But despite its small size, on an area of ​​​​48 m2, you can equip a space that is quite comfortable for living. And modern developers have come up with many projects of such small foam block houses, which provide all the necessary functional premises. What will the extension look like? wooden house from foam blocks, you can see in the photo
