Building a vacation home: use the summer season, exploring new technologies, heed the advice of experts

Summer - a traditional time for the activity of suburban real estate market. People who have not yet got ready to land or a house, try to do it until very nature "shows good person" - in the green and without snow. Those who is already a happy owner of a country the object, try to use the summer for construction. The fact that both are now on the market, which offer consumers new developers and builders, and understood magazine columnist Metrinfo. Why summer? Summer - the "high season" is not only to sales of "fence", but also for all kinds of construction work. The reasons for this are both subjective (in humans as little more than a hunting go all over the Moscow area in warm weather, and not through the slush and drifts) and quite a objective. "There are two obvious factors, - says Andrey Martinovich, CEO FreeDom Works. - Above zero temperatures and longer daylight hours. " First, according to experts, provides an opportunity to work with any construction materials. Pour concrete, install bituminous shingles, engage external painting of the facades - to do all this in the cold if not impossible, it is much harder and more expensive, and in summer - no problem. Also, heat can do without a number of additional costs: heating huts, winter clothes, a more complicated delivery of construction materials, maintenance of equipment. As to the duration of daylight, it gives workers the opportunity to work longer - and, therefore, perform a greater volume of work per day. Winter would have to hold artificial light - and this additional spending. And, as experience shows, the performance of the electric light still lower. The warm season is good for activities affecting the appearance of the object. "Summer - the most suitable season for decorating, landscaping, - lists Armen Markosyan, Director of Marketing RODEX Group. - That is why many developers prefer to build himself a house in the late winter - early spring and the warm period to engage him finish. " Not only pluses is noteworthy that we surveyed experts drew attention to the opposite reasons - those against the old building. "For example, wooden houses build better just in the winter, - says Lyudmila Yezhov, chief executive of the company" Terra real estate. " - These structures are lighter foundation for them to do a little buried. In winter, the basement is much less shrinkage. But most importantly - at low temperatures below air humidity, and wood so is not adversely affected the moisture and, therefore, will not deform in the future. " Another significant "year net" should be regarded as the belief that the summer begin to build everything - respectively, the construction firms to increase prices, rising cost of materials. Brigade, spoiled attention from customers, often tend to have time and here and there, which often leads to lower quality. In short, consumers are very appropriate to recall the famous aphorism of Mark Twain: whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, thought. "Hamlet's question" about the contractor a few years ago, the sellers of land has always tried to "equip" them binding contract for construction - This strategy allows you to receive additional income (for the construction work). But in times of crisis demand has dropped so drastically that the pressure on the remaining few customers no one dares. "The village" Grachevka "developer removed all previous restrictions on the building: it is possible to build houses of stone, wood, composite, - said Alexander Bykov, an expert on suburban real estate branch of the" Avenue of Vernadsky, "the company" Incom ". Was also reduced by "cutting" - originally proposed sections 25-30 acres, but now - 10-15. " "This year, as in the past, the most developed projects without requiring a contract, most of the new settlements introduced to the market in this format - said Valery Mishchenko, chairman of the board of directors Kaskad Family. - For the buyer it is good that people immediately receive title to the land and are in "limbo" state contract, for which almost no guarantees. Just for "air" people are not willing to pay - either land or completed construction of facilities. " True, the expert continues, their risks remain and there: not all developers are suitable for execution in good faith their obligations. It is likely that the market may face the problem of "misguided truckers' - for example, was not made promises to take stock of the acquired areas of engineering, because the sellers wrongly estimated cost of such works, the price of materials, etc. Kaskad Family, said Valery Mishchenko, began selling a few villages without a contract, but with a single software engineering areas and landscaping. Successfully implemented the project "Uvarovskii Uezd" on the Moscow-Don. In early July, will be brought on the market project, "Michael's Cottage" on the Moscow-Don 'Zykovsky Uezd "on the Istra Reservoir, as well as community" Bestuzhev "on Dmitrovsky direction. In the autumn the company plans to begin selling in another village - "Dolmatovsky Uezd." Option - ready Lydia Grechina, director of marketing at Villagio Estate, tells a different decision problems mentioned guarantees completion of construction: the home is invited to have built. "Our company began the summer of 2010 with shares in the luxury development Monteville, where you can buy ready-made house at a price of 30 million rubles. 100% payment - said the expert. - Offer valid for purchase of houses with floor space of 390 square meters. m, located on sites of 17 acres or more. House plans are designed to allow future tenants to share the dwelling space as easy as possible for themselves properly. Most of the houses for rent open plan, the area prepared to work areas of landscape designers. " Also, adds Lydia Grechina the fall will be brought to market a new elite settlement on Novorizhskoye highway, where the first day will be offered ready-made house. Currently we are actively building their. (Journal Metrinfo now working on an article about finished houses in cottage settlements, and on this we'll soon learn more). What else is new? Houses are growing as usual, by the beginning of the season, many developers have prepared a variety of technological innovations. In particular, the holiday village "Gagarinlend" brought to market the technology of "growing house" which allows no right to erect a large building, and start with small and then increase its area to 2-2.5 times pristraivaya additional rooms, spacious porch or garage. "This year people" grow "their first home and were very satisfied," - says Ivan Sinitsyn, a partner of the "New Cottage" - "Gagarinlend." Still, he said, this season has considerably extended range of interior layouts of houses. Construction crews are ready to build for the residents of not only traditional houses, baths and sheds, and enclosures for dogs, outdoor furniture and garden arches. Another service appeared: tidy cottage cleaners for the arrival of tenants, and farmers deliver fresh produce straight from the garden to table. and materials combined company FreeDom Works, says Andrew Martinovich, offers several architectural innovations, based on a combination of a project design of reinforced concrete and laminated veneer lumber. As a result, can combine ecology and beauty of wood with the thoroughness and durability of concrete and brick. "The new trend in decoration of the facades on the market of elite suburban housing became a mosaic - said Lydia Grechina (Villagio Estate). - You can use it to decorate the house with reproductions of masterpieces of painting or lofty biblical scenes, recreating a large-scale battle scene or frame the elements of the exterior rim of the flower, national or curved motifs. To replace the lost ancient secrets came to modern technologies of production and installation of mosaic compositions. " About finances - details have already mentioned that in the summer, amid general increase in orders for the construction, grow, and prices. However, this trend is typical for the summer period at all - but this season, taking into account the crisis situation nonstandard. Which one? Here the views of our experts are divided, and very significantly. "This year, the prices of materials and practically grew up", - said Ivan Sinitsyn ("New Cottage" - "Gagarinlend"). "Wrench prices are not seeing, the market is developing quite calmly," - said Valery Mishchenko (Kaskad Family). True, he adds, you can wait for "autumn aggravation" caused by the increase in demand. But Andrew Martinovic (FreeDom Works) believe that the prices of building materials are growing - though it's called a sharp jerk impossible. Similar view is held by Armen and Markosian (RODEX Group), estimating the overall level of price increase compared to last year at 5-10%. The most radical view expressed Dubovenko Alexander, Director of Business Development Guild WOOD: He recalls that the summer of last year was the first in this century, when nothing has gone up. "This season, the summer just arrived, and have all become more expensive. We fear that this might not summer "played" would at once 2 years! "- Warns expert. Summary If you withdraw from the estimates above a certain "average", it turns out that higher prices are, but not sharp. For its part, the magazine Metrinfo believes it is unlikely that a country so construction market will clearly stand out from the overall trend. A general trend is that house prices would fluctuate, but not to a significant increase, no significant drop for no reason. That, in general a bad thing.
