Cost Factor Analysis
The Cost of construction of a building depends on the parameters and specifications of the material used. But it is the common practice to put the safety of the building at stake to reduce the cost instead of adopting a wise design. Although it is not the subject matter that can be explained on the web site, still to put some light on the matter there are very few examples.
Beam on wall theory:
It is often advised to erect internal walls with half brick i.e 115 mm (4.5") thick walls and to put the beam on their top to strengthen it. since half brick walls are not considered as able to bear the load. By doing so they spend the saving of wall material in extra beam and put the safety at stake.
Design of Roof:
RCC roofs are generally laid as per the design of masson, He due to the fear of safety put more steel than the required make it more harmful than with less steel. Thus the material is being wasted and structure is still unsafe.
Room Sizes:
In multistory structures room sizes considerable affect the cost of construction, greater the room span greater is the cost of construction.
Foundation System
Foundations Consume a major share of project cost well designed foundations can save lot of money without playing with its safety.
In Nut Shell For Constructing a Safe and Serviceable Building Proper Planning and Designing is must.
