If a year ago the question of what is cheaper - to buy ready-made housing or to build - was not raised, now, looking at the price tags that have soared to unimaginable heights, one cannot answer with confidence. But what is there, it is possible: construction has become almost three times more expensive, and housing in the secondary market has risen in price by 30 percent. Only oligarchs are now being built of bricks. Aerated concrete, for completely incomprehensible reasons, almost doubled in price. And what do they say about the minimum inflation? I just would like to find at least one person who would clearly explain why the forest has risen in price so much? If even last winter we actively discussed that construction from logs and beams has become very affordable, then this winter it has become an unaffordable luxury. In general, what to do if you bought a plot and collected a certain amount for construction, and there is nowhere to retreat? Let's see what it is really possible to build from with minimal costs.

Main savings
The biggest savings in construction is labor. If you can attract your own forces, relatives and friends to work, then consider that at least half of the amount has been saved. Yes, it is not easy, but if you look at the very recent experience of construction, then they used to do this: they collected all the relatives and put together a house with joint efforts, then you will help someone close.
There is another way to save money - refuse the services of an architect, take a typical project. When there is not enough money for building materials, there is no point in perverting with an individual project, and even more so - contact an interior designer, the cost of whose services will be almost equal to the costs of construction.
The cheapest foundation
Monolithic foundations and block foundations are expensive, expensive, and again expensive. If we take brick construction, then the foundation will eat up half of the budget. You will literally bury your money in the ground, and without the confidence that it is reliable.
Provided that lightweight wall material is used, it will be more than enough, and in addition to this, such structures are resistant to seasonal ground movements, and this is already an invaluable advantage.
The cheapest options for wall material
Someone will tell you that the cheapest option right now is frame construction. Do you know that it is not so? The reason for the rise in price of karskasniki lately is also explainable: the forest has risen in price. A frame house is first built from wood, and then from the doubled OSB. An alternative can be wall materials that were used by our ancestors. And we can say with complete confidence that these technologies are time-tested.
In the first place is adobe. It is a mixture of clay that is literally under your feet and straw or sawdust. The technology is very simple - clay is kneaded with filler and dried in the sun in molds.
In second place, perhaps, is arbolite. If there is no clay in your places, then you can make the same mixture from sawdust, only use a little cement mortar as a binder.
And you can also quite recall the earthen houses, and about the houses from pressed straw, and from sawn shell rock. See what your land is rich in and use what you can get for free. Yes, you have to be puzzled by plastering the walls from the inside and outside, but in any case it is cheaper than brick, and only your great-grandchildren can tell about durability.
Roofing: how can you save money here?
Yes, you can, of course, save even here. What pulls the main amount out of the budget? You will be surprised, but this is not a roof covering, but rafters (and again about a tree that has risen in price). We will resist: you can make I-beams from OSB with your own hands.
