Contrary to appearances, building even a simple single-family house is not an easy task. In order to get through this as efficiently as possible, it is necessary, first of all, to prepare a detailed plan of work, which we have to do at the same time. Everything here, of course, depends on a great many different factors: the design of the house, the technology we use to build it, and the materials to be used. However, the preparation of such a plan is essential in order to be able to effectively coordinate all the work involved and to ensure that it is carried out in the right way," explains the Sufigs employee.

The schedule should be divided into individual stages of construction, which in turn will contain all the work to be done at a given moment. If we want to prepare a really detailed schedule, we can include all the smallest data, even the smallest ones, concerning the amount of building materials to be used at a given moment. It is best to divide the schedule into stages according to the state of construction we want to achieve on each of them - for example, the raw state or the closed state. Each of these stages has its own characteristics and sometimes you have to approach each of them in a rather specific way. Of course, the schedule should also include the time that we plan to devote to the execution of the selected stage. It is not worthwhile to break down immediately if there are any delays. Timely completion of the work is dependent on a multitude of different factors, which we do not always have a full influence on. Sometimes it turns out that such delays simply have to occur and there is no way to avoid them.

Nevertheless, it is one of the most important things to have specific deadlines in the timetable. In addition to the completion dates of the individual works, it is also important to bear in mind moments such as a visit by the building authorities, placing an order and collecting individual materials, or the acceptance of the building itself after the completion of all the works. However, as we have already said, it is not worth treating such a schedule too rigidly. If there are any unexpected difficulties or delays during the work, you simply need to be flexible and adapt the schedule to the conditions that have arisen during construction.

The sample work schedule has quite a simple layout - it is worth avoiding unnecessary complication and oversizing of the content here. We're starting at zero. The work that is normally required at this stage is earthworks, foundation pouring, basement construction and insulation preparation for the lower parts of the building right next to the ground. The time worth spending on such works is about a month. At this stage, there are not many complicated or lengthy works. It will probably take the most time to prepare the ground for construction and dig up the foundations. For most of the work envisaged at this stage, we are unlikely to need more than three to four days.

The next stage of the works is the raw state open. The work can take up to four months. The most important of these include bricklaying walls and ceilings, preparation of reinforced concrete stairs, construction of chimneys and plating. In this case, bricklaying of walls and ceilings is one of the longest works - it can take several weeks, depending on the size of the building. Also, formwork and reinforcement of walls and ceilings is quite a time-consuming task, to which you will also have to devote about three weeks.

The next stage is the raw state closed. It covers all the work needed to bring the building to a state that is almost ready for habitation, where final finishing work is still to be done. At this stage, partition walls are erected and windows and doors are inserted. This stage does not take up as much time as the two previous ones, and even in more demanding situations it can be completed within two weeks at the most.
As you can see, building even a small house is quite a complicated process, which requires many different, divided into stages, works. Such a schedule may make this task much easier for us and make all the work here much more efficient. Of course, we don't have to do all the stages mentioned above one by one, without any breaks. In many cases, such work drags on for years, as financial issues, for example, stand in the way. With an appropriate timetable, we will, above all, know what we should do once the work has been completed.
