Home Reconstruction - What you need to pay attention?


Prior to the reconstruction should be thoroughly clarified their needs associated with it.
We advise you on what you need to pay attention. For your Chicago Remodeling project!
  • There is a need expert technical condition of the building. In the case of the superstructure of more than one floor will be required land examination performed by a certified geotechnical. Technical expertise or opinion should contain data on the condition of the building. The study must be to find information about the design and condition of foundations, walls, lintels, ceilings and roof - in terms of design and functionality. The valuer should determine carrying capacity of materials and components. In the case of mold or insects found feeding on wood pieces should be extended to the development of the Mycological (identifying the nature and causes of corrosion treatments and identify ways to combat them.) The conclusions of studies should be to find data on the consumption of the building, causes damage and to indicate what and how to fix it. 
  • In addition to assessing the technical condition of the foundation, it is important also to determine the width of the footing and the calculation of the load. Outcrops allow to conclude what type of soil foundation is in place the foundations, which of course does not preclude the validity of the implementation of additional testing ground. 
  • You do the test groundwater (wells and the poll carried out by geotechnical) to identify the exact parameters of the soil at the foundation of the building. Thanks to the knowledge of soil parameters is possible to accurately determine capacity of existing foundations, which can protect the investor against costly strengthening the foundations. 
  • If we adapt the attic for residential purposes, check the attic roof load. Typically requires strengthening. Conversion for residential purposes is associated with heavy layers of roof laying floors, building partition walls. Do not forget to load a much greater utility of such a ceiling. 
  • An architect must design not only rebuild the building construction project, but also the project executive. * The materials used for the superstructure must be as light as possible - aerated concrete instead of ceramic tiles and sheet metal instead of wood - so they do not have to strengthen the existing foundations. Typically, homes of two-, three-storey have a strong enough foundation to building an even add one floor. The final decision belongs to the constructor. 
  • The construction of the building, consider whether you do not need to perform the installation of new water and sewage, central heating and electricity. Even if they have been recently upgraded, are often not adapted to the additional space, which is created after the reconstruction. For example, the central heating boiler may have too little power to heat the extra space. 
  • Asbestos-cement sheets can disassemble, transport and dispose of only the team with technical equipment and power to carry out such work. 
Contractors must be licensed to operate, which results in hazardous waste. The asbestos is not joking. Dismantling and storage, there is danger of inhaling asbestos fibers. Microscopic fibers can accumulate in the lungs and remain in them for many years, and eventually cause lung cancer. If asbestos is poorly linked to the material because of the fragility or the age of coatings, fibers increases the risk of leakage. If such material must be stored on the premises, the heap should be packaged with polyethylene film with a thickness of 250 mm, to prevent emissions of asbestos fibers into the environment.
