Many families dream of having their own house, but once the long-awaited wish is fulfilled, it can turn into a nightmare if the construction was not planned with the safety and care measures.

It is important to bear in mind that a safe construction will protect our lives and provide us with good living conditions, as well as the security and tranquility necessary to face natural phenomena. In this way, damage is avoided not only within the home, but also to neighboring lands and to third parties.
Construction
– For Construction
– The house must be located on a soil whose base is hard, with very strong and compact rocks such as granite, quartzite, calisa and basalt.
– To build a wall, clay brick must be used, and the tambourine type for ceilings. Walls, walls and ceilings are raised with different types of brick.
– To join the bricks it is essential to use quality cement. This is ensured by verifying that the Technical Quality Standard is printed on the bags: 339.114
– The cement must be fresh and without lumps.
– The structural columns must include the use of steel bars or corrugated iron. The thickness of these will depend on the size of the construction.
– If the house is a single story, the corrugated iron, for example, will be one inch, and the iron that joins them, half an inch.
– Electrical Installation
– One aspect of home construction that is not often taken into account is the electrical installation.
– For this reason, the electrical installations and accessories or supplies that are going to be used such as cables, tubes and connectors must follow the technical standards to avoid overheating.
– The switches must be made of a material resistant to heat and that withstands the energy ups and downs that may arise.
– For example, it should be checked that the light meter is checked and calibrated.
– In case of using extensions, it is advisable to use 70% of their capacity and that the cables be vulcanized.
– Use plugs that support intense electrical loads, because nowadays they are used to connect electric ovens, laptops, cell phones, dryers, among others.
– The bulbs that are used, preferably that are the savers and Led because they consume less watts of power.
– Gas Usage
– Regarding the use of gas, the hoses that connect the valves to the balloon must be flexible and made of rubber (PVC, which is a type of plastic), with a shiny appearance and high resistance to elongation to avoid the risk of breakage or gas leakage.
– The shut-off valve must be automatic.
– The gas container must be portable.
– In addition, the gas bottle must be in a place away from the kitchen to avoid that the fire or the electrical spark from a poorly installed switch nearby creates risks.
– Finally, the gas meter has to be checked and calibrated by the technician.
– Sanitary Ware
– The quality of the pipes for drainage systems is important. For example, it is necessary that they withstand the high traffic of water and temperature. To prevent leakage, the lid that allows the toilet tank to fill must be made of stable and resistant rubber.
– The sanitary water and sewage facilities must be of quality, that is, they must comply with the technical standards of their respective countries.
– The same to place the water meter.
It is worth mentioning that caring for the family is priceless, so it is important that the home is a space where they feel safe and not the opposite. The best for you and your loved ones!
