Home Building Checkpoints That Homeowners Should Know
Home Building Checkpoints That Homeowners Should Know
Description
Book Introduction
Approximately 100,000 single-family homes (including multi-family homes) are built in Korea each year.
In a world where the fear of the coronavirus still lingers, more and more people are dreaming of living in a single-family home, like a country home.
Most prospective homeowners who are new to architecture are confused and have difficulty knowing where to start, what to prepare, and how to proceed.
Moreover, each structure that makes up a house has its own characteristics and advantages and disadvantages.
Only by properly understanding this can construction be done to minimize defects.
However, the actual building owner has no choice but to trust the construction company and leave the work entirely to them, leaving the burden on their shoulders.
The author, who was awarded the title of "Architectural Master" by the New Architects Association, has experienced a wide variety of construction projects and has overcome individual situations and challenges at each site.
The vast amount of data accumulated in the process was organized and summarized into a book.
It introduces the overall process of building a house, taking into account not only the builder's perspective but also the owner's perspective, and further serves as a rough guide for each stage of construction.
Furthermore, it provides detailed explanations of key checkpoints for each process that not only designers but also general construction workers and construction professionals must know.
