What is the cheapest construction method?

Discover the best construction method for your project with DiaseNetto Engenharia.

Choosing the best construction method is crucial. This is because various construction methods can contribute to increasing the value of your property. As a planning guide, we'll present seven types.

Masonry

First of all, it is important to emphasize that there are two types of masonry: conventional masonry and constructive masonry.

Conventional masonry is the most widely used construction system in Brazil today. This type of structure consists of reinforced concrete beams, pillars, and slabs. These elements are therefore part of the structure that supports the house, and the masonry serves to seal and insulate the space. This type of construction offers advantages in terms of labor and material availability, and ease of future renovations or modifications to the original design. However, this system is generally slightly more expensive and takes longer to complete.

Structural masonry, on the other hand, is a slightly faster and simpler type of construction, as well as being cheaper. However, construction requires more professional labor, as all walls must be level.

In this type of construction, the walls are joined with concrete or ceramic blocks. Therefore, it's crucial to develop a proper design and consider the electrical and plumbing installations, as the system doesn't allow for modifications.

Wooden frame

This type of construction, widespread abroad, primarily uses solid replanted wood for the structure. Therefore, you should pay close attention to the materials used to protect your home from termites and moisture.

Besides being low cost, this type of construction also offers excellent acoustic and thermal performance. However, to get this model right, seek out specialists. 3 - Container

This construction system is preferred by those seeking modernity and sustainability. As the name suggests, this system uses containers for construction, allowing for modularity, speed, and can reduce costs by up to 30%.

However, even in this case, you need to look for a professional contractor and carefully check for rust, transportation history, and whether there is space for a crane, which is essential for lifting the house.

Pre-factory

A prefabricated building model consists of modules that are individually assembled in a factory and transported to a construction site to be assembled into a home.

The modules can be made of wood or concrete, and their construction process is faster than traditional masonry. However, this system requires a slightly higher initial investment, which may be a disadvantage for some.

Concrete wall

This type of construction consists of solid reinforced concrete structural walls, highly fire-resistant and with minimal material waste. However, acoustic insulation is not very good, and manufacturing costs are high. Furthermore, the electrical and sanitary installations are already installed, avoiding invasions and rework on the walls. It is a highly effective system for large-scale construction.

Steel structure

A steel frame is very similar to a timber frame. However, instead of timber framing, galvanized steel profiles are used, and the ends are made of cemented wood panels or drywall.

This construction method is also called dry construction, which produces less waste and requires no water. In this type of construction, finding professional workers is also crucial to maintaining the quality of the work. Furthermore, there are floor space restrictions, meaning very tall buildings are not permitted.

Drywall

This type of construction is very advantageous, as it offers good acoustic insulation, cost-effectiveness, and maneuverability. So, you can add it to your construction list.
