I still remember when I was in my high school days when our science teacher bombard us with research papers and home works. We need to research one subject before we discuss this subject in class so that all of us have an idea on what the teacher are going to say. Well I can finally apply this research thin in real life situation. This is the first thing I did before I decided to build my own house here in the Philippines. I research the best materials my money can buy (that means it is cheap and at the same time it is quite strong). I also research lots of house designs. I google search some small house or tiny house out there and there are thousand of designs out there. I also research some building material prices on the web there are lots of online sellers who offers cheap building materials but I don't really have a plan to buy from them I just get their price so that I can have an idea.
So lets have a recap this is the list of things I research:
- Design of the house
- Basic building terms (wall footing, stiffener etc.)
- Materials
- Prices of building materials
- Google Sketchup (This you really need this one I'll explain it to you guys later on)
- alternative building materials (this is if some materials are not available or it is too expensive in your area)
