The things to note before renovate and increase home
Kitchen June 15th, 2010
astudio One friend, Elly’s mother Hanifa send an email to ask about a few things to consider when going to renovate the house he owned for 21 types into two floors. Maybe someone among you who have similar problems? Indeed, things around the foundation, structural system, sanitation system placement, placement of space and other things must be planned carefully first before building, in order to avoid mistakes that will require us to spend more money again in the future.
1. Is there a difference between the foundation structure, one-story house with two floors?
There. The difference in the strength of the foundation, whose relations at large and the number of columns and beams are used. Foundation for the two floors of course have to fit and strong for the two floors, so there is a possibility of a floor foundation must be dismantled, altered, added or replaced so much stronger.
2. However, if the initial foundation structure was reserved only for the one-story building if I can fix the foundation but did not change the total existing foundation in order to save costs?
Fixing the foundation of two floors to one floor, is possible. Usually, the addition. But first, must be done first checks on whether the foundation is feasible or not in use, whether it just needs to be added. What more if this is a residential house, sometimes the structure and foundation system is not feasible even for only one floor. Columns that support the weight of two floors to be more powerful because its burden is greater. Sometimes need to be given a new column to reduce the amount of arch beams and columns. Determination of the point and an additional column should be consulted on the structure of expert, considering it involves the safety of buildings.
3. According to Mr. Probo, roof dak / concrete whether it is more efficient arrangement of space (let no rat in the roof), what are the disadvantages?. Such as concrete roof room picture possible if I apply this model?
Roof not good enough to use, especially when there are functions thereon, such as the desire for additional room mother, or want to have open space at the top of the house for a family gathering while enjoying the free air. For the rat problem, actually the roof with ceiling could get free regular mice, if properly planned or made, such as lack of access to these rodents to enter. Models such as this send a very good mother and can be made. I also found some space under the roof at home, in my opinion quite interesting idea. Except for regions with hot climate, influenced the level of temperature in this room is definitely hot enough.
4. If the building comprises two floors I do not want to position the ladder near the kitchen because usually wet and slippery.
Yes mother. But it also depends on the condition of her kitchen. For the kitchen now, a lot of it has been well designed so that the floor was not wet or slippery. And this can be planned through the design process with architect mother.
5. If possible, how and where the position to make the well recharge area of rain with the size of the ground like me?
Basically rainwater infiltration wells can be made anywhere, either at the front of the building, side or rear. This is for rain water infiltration. When to recharge from septic tanks, must be considered when the mother uses the well situated for household consumption. The distance should be more than 10 meters so that water is not polluted. Rainwater recharge wells can also be equipped with rain-fed reservoir or basin. The goal is that rainwater can be collected in advance at rain-fed tanks, then poured into wells resapannya new. This rain water can be used to irrigate the plants around the house, to wash their bodies, or other purposes, even for flush water closet.
6. From the initial plans, the distance between the wells with a WC of about 2 m, is it safe? If it does not fit should I unload / reset? If no objection can be described well position / PAM with a WC and a good septic tank to be safe.
Distance is not safe, so it should be moved only septic tank. When mothers are planning or have a carport at the front (in addition to living room), could be placed there. Currently there is also a product of septic tanks is a very private form of a planted tank is a direct and very low levels of pollution due to use of bacterial decomposition of waste. This system can use a recharge well those far from well, even channels can be directly channeled to the sewers.
