Subtleties of the vertical layout of the site

It is so conceived by nature that the surface of our planet has a different relief throughout its entire area. A person, striving for comfort in the inhabited territories, tries to create conditions for the maximum convenience of his stay. It is necessary to properly plan your site.

The vertical plan of the area includes the direct carrying out of the geodetic survey itself, clearing for building and the beginning of the work itself.

If you intend to handle this on your own, there are several factors to consider:

• type and condition of the soil;
• the degree of groundwater occurrence;
• the possibility of heaving the earth at low temperatures.

When building an object, it is necessary to choose its location, accurately determine the height of the floor covering of the lower floor, and find out the degree of soil subsidence. With the help of planning, a number of issues are solved. For example, the foundation must be above the water table. Structures above the foundation should be located slightly above the level of snowfall (in accordance with climatic conditions). When building a dwelling, it is better to choose a site that is at a higher level (from the entire available territory). The construction of the facility begins after a carefully selected construction site. Often, a nearby house or road serves as a starting point for work.

After determining the desired point, they begin to calculate the depth of the object. There are several types of building a house at an angle. Usually there is a change in the landscape, in which all the irregularities on the surface are smoothed out. This project assumes that the construction will be carried out on a flat area. A house erected on an area with a normal slope needs to be reworked on the basement side. In this case, the dwelling will have some peculiarities and flow smoothly into the landscape.

The landscape is divided according to the following criteria:

• flat slope - no more than 3%;
• small slope - up to 8%;
• average slope - up to 20%;
• steep slope - over 20%.

A number of advantages appear with a vertical layout of the terrain (for example, the creation of a drainage system, a number of walking paths that are located at an angle). It becomes possible to create a system for draining rain streams at a certain slope into the lower part of the site. It is almost always difficult for owners of uneven plots of land to plan. To solve such problems, there are specialists who are engaged in planning and changing the landscape of the earth with a vertical inclination.

In such a situation, it is necessary to draw up a basement project. On the basement floor (in the walls of the lower floor), drainage must be installed. There are many examples of redevelopment of such an area, but not every owner, by virtue of his strength and capabilities, can with great confidence undertake the implementation of the construction of housing in such non-standard conditions. Therefore, it is recommended to contact a specialist for an accurate diagnosis of the area, the composition of its soil, the depth of the groundwater and the structure of the soil. Professionals in their field will help to make a plot of the land plot.

When considering a building with a slope to the south, it is recommended to locate the house as close as possible to the east side.The lower part is used for the construction of outbuildings (due to its low suitability for arrangement in the form of a comfort zone). It is advisable to do the improvement of the area on the upper part of the square, planting several strips of flower beds, plant several decorative trees around the perimeter of the entire recreation area, shifting them to the south side.

The planning of the drainage network should be reasonably consistent with the topography of the area. and have a drain in the lower part of the site. If you are an adherent of the eastern philosophy of feng shui, you need to make sure that the doors are located to the north, or to the east.

The main building should be located about 10 meters from the border of your lot. You should be at least 3 meters away from your neighbors' house. Buildings should be at right angles to each other. All measurements can be done independently (without having any skills in construction or experience in design). A tape measure is sufficient to measure the distance.

Outbuildings are erected simultaneously with the dwelling, although it is best to do this after the end of the main building. Household buildings should be erected at a certain distance from the buildings of neighbors. Experts give recommendations that it is best to build barns, sheds and latrines 3 meters from the buildings of neighbors.

When building, the same rules must be followed as when building a house. Following the recommendations of specialists and observing the rules for building objects on land with a large slope, the strength, durability of housing and other buildings (gazebos, greenhouses, barns, cellars, homemade ponds for decorating a plot, baths, saunas) is achieved.

It is impossible to carry out grandiose projects on an area of ​​up to 5 acres. On such a site it is possible to build a house, a restroom and a bathhouse. On an area of ​​10-11 acres, you can add a gazebo, a pond and several flower beds. On an area of ​​15 acres and above, everything will be limited only by your imagination.

Everything must be planned in advance, the documents must be drawn up, the material must be purchased, specialists must be hired. Only then, with peace of mind, you can get down to business and equip your favorite area according to your tastes and views.

The correct layout will provide you with a good, warm and reliable home. During construction, it is advisable to contact a specialist. Consult with them, clarify all the subtleties of the construction site: this will provide your home with durability, and also save you from hassle in the future. When changing difficult terrain, it is worth remembering that sometimes this state of affairs can play into your hands.

Each situation should have an individual approach to solving the task at hand, because any surface is made up of different planes. This affects the different composition of the soil in rather small areas, the overlap of different layers of the earth causes the curvilinearity of the perimeter. All this makes the work on the improvement of this site quite difficult. During the construction of facilities in such areas, specialists thoroughly study the surface relief, meteorological data of the region, find out the depth of groundwater deposits, the likelihood of soil subsidence under the weight of the building and many other key factors.

More often, construction on such a surface occurs in recreation areas or resorts. The view from the window of the building at a height will not leave anyone indifferent, but the main factor is the improvement of the area, equipping it with all the benefits of civilization, without which it is difficult to imagine our daily life. The disadvantage of such a terrain can be attributed to the fact that the expenditure of the budget for landscaping will be much higher than for a plot with flat terrain.Therefore, to implement your ideas, you will have to fork out a round sum. The positive side stems from its disadvantage - the uneven surface creates a sense of exoticism, which cannot but attract attention. With the right approach to the layout of a non-standard surface, a plot with a small area can be turned into a piece of paradise.
