Baths with a relaxation room are not a luxury or a whim, but an example of practical and convenient layout. To fully enjoy bathing procedures, traditional premises - a small dressing room, steam room and washing room - are not enough. In addition, the lack of a room where you can take a breather after visiting the steam room before going outside is fraught with disruptions in the functioning of the cardiovascular, immune and other body systems. After all, we all know that in the cold season, immediately after a hot bath, it is not permissible to go out into the fresh air: a steamed, relaxed body will easily “catch” a cold. So the designs of a bathhouse with a relaxation room are primarily aimed at preserving your health, making your stay in the bathhouse as comfortable as possible, and achieving the full extent of its healing effect.
Advantages of bathhouse projects with a relaxation room
What is a relaxation room in a traditional Russian bathhouse?
By tradition, the room is decorated with wood; wooden furniture is also preferable - tables, beds, benches. The air is filled with the aromas of dried herbs, the walls are decorated with lush bundles of birch brooms and traditional Russian kitchen utensils - ladles, scoops. But in principle, it all depends on the area of the room; there may be more pieces of furniture. How more modern version- the presence of a TV, sofa, billiard table.
Do you like to steam with a friendly company? Then a bath with big room relaxation is something that will interest you. While avid steamers enjoy the scalding steam, those who prefer a lower temperature socialize and have a snack in anticipation of the light steam. A great place and time to take a break from stress and relax!
And after the bath procedures, what a pleasure it is to sit on a warm wooden bench or soft sofa, drink a glass of kvass or herbal tea! Between “entries” to the steam room, you definitely need to rest - any experienced Russian bath lover will tell you this. An organism that has received a temperature shock needs a break.
In a room with a comfortable temperature, it is convenient and pleasant to massage and perform other cosmetic and health procedures.
Layout of a bathhouse with a relaxation room
As a rule, designers suggest placing a relaxation room in front of the steam room. This is the most convenient option. Often in bathhouse plans, the relaxation room is combined with a kitchen and has several entrances: to the steam room, to the corridor, to other rooms.Often, at the request of customers, the room is equipped with a fireplace and becomes even more cozy. However, designers advise not to get carried away with the design: when decorating bath rooms, the natural simplicity and artlessness of the interior is much more attractive. After all, the main purpose of a rest room is a place for relaxation, relaxation, and peace. The windows are covered roller blinds or blinds to ensure that the light is as diffused as possible. The finish should not be bright, natural soft tones are preferable.
A relaxation room can be included in the design of either a spacious or a very small one-story bathhouse with an area of 4x5. If desired, the recreation room can be used as a summer kitchen or a place for children's games.
If a bath house with an attic is being built, the rooms in different designs maybe several. If necessary, guests can comfortably sit here without disturbing the owners.
And that's absolutely right! Only natural wood in conditions of high humidity and temperature it will “behave” correctly, providing comfortable ventilation, enriching the air with beneficial phytoncides, and regulating the level of humidity in the room. Only in wooden bath breathe easy!
Nice and practical log baths, are not inferior to them in their consumer characteristics and high heat-saving properties of bathhouses made of profiled, laminated veneer lumber, or rounded logs. As a rule, the developer proceeds from personal aesthetic preferences and financial capabilities. Bathhouse designs with a relaxation room (one or more) can be implemented in any of the above materials. Experts will advise you which material is optimal in each specific case: they will take into account the type of soil on the site, the total weight of the log house, individual architectural solutions project. We can only clarify that in the end a bathhouse made of timber will cost the customer less than one made from planed logs. But a log bathhouse has a unique flavor and special home comfort. Choose the priorities that are important to you.
A standard private bathhouse contains the following set of premises: a dressing room, a washing room, a steam compartment and a relaxation room, but no one forbids increasing their number, increasing the functionality of the bathhouse and the comfort of its use. In the article we will look at some of the projects for the construction of baths with additional premises.
Bath-sauna with terrace
This project allows you to rebuild a standard bathhouse with with total area in 24.1 sq. m., of which 70% are inhabited parts. With this project you can easily create a multifunctional bathhouse in two possible options layouts. The common parts for both projects are the following premises: a terrace, a relaxation room and a steam room itself.
Distinctive features of these types of layouts:
- In the first case, bathhouse designs with a relaxation room and a terrace are complemented by a separate dressing room and a plumbing unit (bathroom, toilet).
- The second variation is the design of bathhouses with a relaxation room and kitchen, as well as a separate shower room. Moreover, the relaxation room is not separated by partitions, but a bar counter is installed in their place (read also: " ").
Also, having a swimming pool outside is never a bad idea, regardless of the season.
During construction the following set of materials will be required:
- prefabricated reinforced concrete blocks for the foundation;
- brick or aerated concrete blocks for laying walls;
- wooden beams for floor beams;
- metal tile sheets for roofing;
- lining for upholstery;
- plaster for finishing the base.
Conditions for effective design of a bathhouse
A timber bathhouse is one of the most popular structural options. The reason for this is the natural nature of the building material and its low cost. It is important to take into account a number of parameters that will allow you to create an optimal design for a small bathhouse with a relaxation room or other premises. For example, a bathhouse with a summer kitchen may have a similar design.
We are talking about the following parameters:
- maximum number of visitors in the bathhouse;
- planned intensity of use of the steam compartment;
- presence of an attic on upper level buildings;
- presence of a terrace;
- planned seasonal schedule for using the bathhouse;
- maximum permissible size of the building or financial limitations. By similar project a garage bathhouse can also be built, which, most often, are located on different floors.
Selection of building materials
Once all the nuances have been taken into account, the planning stage can begin. The bathhouse should be located 8-10 meters from the nearest buildings. To begin with, a timber is selected, which can be profiled or glued. The second variety will have a higher cost.
So, for example, if a bathhouse with a bedroom is being built (or according to any other project), the beams have the following features:
- profiled timber It is light in weight, which allows the use of ordinary columnar foundation. As a result, the foundation is laid quite simply without shrinkage. The edges of the profiled beams reliably protect the building from moisture penetration through the joints. Thermal insulation characteristics profiled timber are also high and can be improved by covering the room with foil;
- construction of a bathhouse from glued beams worth starting at winter period. Such a work schedule can even be called a necessity, since in winter the material costs less and its density is many times greater. Also, moisture absorption decreases in proportion to the decrease in temperature.
It is best to finish the inside of the building using lining, but in the rest room and washing room it is worth using material made of coniferous wood with forced drying, and in the steam compartment - from aspen. However, the selection process complicates the work, and therefore you should not refuse to consider standard projects baths: 6x6 or 6x4 meters. Most often, these are one-story baths with a rest room and a wash/shower room.
A standard project consists of the following structural elements:
- columnar base;
- frame made of beams with a cut area of 9.5x14.5 centimeters;
- interior partitions frame-panel (read: " ");
- beams with a cut area of 5x10 centimeters are used as rafters, and 2-centimeter boards are suitable for lathing;
- the floor pie should consist of a rough base, hydro- and heat-insulating layers, as well as boardwalk 2.5-2.7 centimeters thick;
- the interior is lined with clapboard.
Place on the site where the bathhouse should be located
When a standard bathhouse with a relaxation room and a bedroom or any other is being built, it is necessary to take into account such a parameter as the geography of construction. Entrance door the bathhouse should face south so that snow-covered paths clear faster in winter. If the windows are located on the west side, the level of natural light in the room will increase.
The effectiveness of using a bathhouse increases if plot of land A natural reservoir flows. The building should be 20 meters away from it, which will allow it to be used instead of a pool or font.
Some builders save space by pre-building a compact 3x3 bathhouse with a steam room and a washroom, and then build everything on a columnar base necessary premises. During the installation of the frame, you need to use high-quality materials, and then cover it in compliance with technology.
It is also worth remembering that you can use a special oven for bathing procedures. Visually, upon inspection and in the photo, naturally the building will not correspond to elite commercial baths, but its efficiency will be high.
Bathhouse - a scale worthy of the rich
Such a design as a bathhouse-house is not an ordinary bathhouse with a dressing room and a relaxation room, but an integral complex where every visitor will feel comfortable and get real pleasure. The construction of such a bathhouse can only be carried out on a large site.
Kitchens and bedrooms are usually created as additional rooms in a bath house. Their sizes and technical features are individual and are selected by the owner, naturally, after consultation with a specialist.
Bathhouse on two floors - power, beauty and functionality
The second floor is occupied by living quarters and, perhaps, an individual plumbing unit is placed there for greater convenience (more details: " "). Usage attic spaces remains at the discretion of the owners. More exotic options may contain huge rooms for relaxing on big company, or Gym by the pool, etc.
Experts say that stairs should be located in places where access to moist air is minimal. For example, in the lounge, in the hall or on the terrace. The last option is less practical, because After taking procedures in the steam room, it is not entirely pleasant to be exposed to colder outside air.
In the bathhouse you can organize meetings with friends and drink hot tea. Fans of a real Russian bath say that a Russian person spends most of his time in the relaxation room than in the steam room itself.
The Mir Ban company can implement a project with either two or one rest room. Everything is selected individually, taking into account the wishes of the client. On the official website you can see photos of the bathhouses we built in Moscow to evaluate high quality our works.
Traditionally, a relaxation room is set up directly next to the steam room. This is enough convenient project location.
The advantage of designing baths in our company
It is not enough to design an object; it is also important to build it efficiently and finish it. When working, it is necessary to take into account the client’s wishes, down to the smallest detail. Our company can finish the bath using rare wood species.
To create a bathhouse in the same style, it is necessary to even provide for the arrangement of furniture in the room so that the owners of such a facility can spend time with friends as comfortably as possible. Therefore we can take upon ourselves interior design. Bath with interior decoration has a much higher price, but this option will allow you to enjoy the ideal design solution to the fullest.
The relaxation room in the bathhouse has become as important a part as the steam room. During bath procedures, exposure to high sauna temperatures alternates with intervals to restore the body between visits to the steam room. The rest room is designed to make these breaks comfortable. When planning to build a bathhouse, you should definitely allocate a room for restoration.
Advice from professionals will tell you how to choose the right project wisely.
Peculiarities
Bathhouse designs with a relaxation room can be divided into three groups. The first group is traditional one-story baths. They are built from capital building materials with low thermal conductivity, have standard set premises: there is a steam room, a shower room, a relaxation room, a dressing room, and sometimes a terrace.
The relaxation room is located on the ground floor next to the steam room and washroom and combines the functions of a locker room. This is the most convenient option that allows you to maintain optimal temperature in all rooms, since the stove evenly heats all adjacent rooms with steam supplied to the sauna compartment.
This layout allows you to place the furnace firebox both in the steam room, which is not always convenient, and in the relaxation room.
The stoker is in comfortable temperature, besides, it is easier to remove debris after kindling. Modern technological furnaces long burning may have a glass screen, which allows you to admire the play of the flame while relaxing, creating a pleasant fireplace atmosphere and giving living warmth the inhabitants of the room. Simple layout, however, includes everything necessary for bath procedures and has great variability in area.
The minimum building area is from 16 square meters. meters, which is convenient for small areas, the maximum is at the request of the owner. This option does not require large investments due to the energy intensity of heating.
The second group is projects with a recreation room located in the attic or on the second floor. This will require the construction of a second floor or roof insulation. what will entail additional expense materials, the foundation will need to be strengthened to increase load bearing. This option is convenient when large area buildings.
On the ground floor there is a dressing room, a locker room, a steam room, and a wash room. On the second floor there is a rest room with or without a balcony. It will be necessary to allocate space for flight of stairs. A beautiful spiral staircase can decorate the interior of a bathhouse.
The third group of projects involves moving the relaxation room onto the terrace. This layout is convenient for summer use. In the cold season, the terrace will need to be glazed and a heating system needs to be thought through. However, this arrangement of the rest room provides a lot of scope for implementing design solutions.
A panoramic view of the landscape adds aesthetic pleasure to moments of relaxation.
The choice of layout depends on the seasonal use of the bathhouse. The first and second group of projects are suitable for year-round use. In summer, it is enough to have a rest room under a canopy with flexible glazing made of film or polycarbonate for a budget option.
The availability of free space on the site is of great importance, and if it is not enough, then raising a recreation room to the attic would be a good solution. Heating the second floor in the cold season requires the installation of an air or water circuit. Installing a long-burning stove with a convector on the ground floor can solve this problem.
The placement of a bathhouse on the site must meet the standards fire safety and ease of use. It is advisable to orient the windows of the rest room towards an attractive view. Glad to see beautiful landscapes before your eyes, and not a fence or a neighbor’s shed.
It is advisable to choose an elevated area for good ventilation and water drainage. The proximity of an artificial or natural body of water can be an effective addition.
Special attention are given to materials for the construction of a bathhouse. Traditionally, preference is given to natural wood in the form of timber or rounded logs of linden, aspen, and cedar.
Pine is more affordable and has beautiful drawing fibers of knotty wood and is a popular material for a bathhouse in the country. Its disadvantage is the porous structure of the wood, which greatly changes its performance due to heat and high humidity, so in the steam room and shower, pine needs to be sheathed with a hardwood slats, and for the rest room pine with its pleasant smell and aesthetic appearance will be the optimal solution.
Brick is a more expensive material, but it has the most best performance durability, resistance to temperature changes.
A budget building can also be built from foam blocks. The construction of a bathhouse from blocks can be done with your own hands, even without special knowledge.
Interior sheathed with a block house, finished with tiles or natural stone.
Decorating a relaxation room involves following a certain style; finishing materials are selected depending on the design.
Subtleties of design
Designing a bathhouse yourself is an exciting activity. To do this, you need to stock up on paper, pencil and ruler.
For a family of 4-5 people and several guests optimal size a bathhouse of 6x6 meters with an attic is considered. On the ground floor there is an entrance hall, steam room, shower room with toilet, relaxation room or living room. The recreation room can be supplemented with a kitchen, and the second floor is reserved for leisure and extra seats to accommodate guests or family members. The entrance area of the second floor with an area of 18 meters can be occupied by a studio or billiard room. Behind it there are two symmetrical bedrooms or rooms for children of 9 square meters. meters.
The functionality of the bathhouse is significantly expanded, and for this there is no need to build big house. Compact layout with a bathroom satisfies the needs of the average family for a country holiday.
With terrace
A sauna with a terrace is an excellent option for summer meals on fresh air after bath procedures. A barbecue grill can be placed on the area in front of the bathhouse or a grill area can be added to the veranda space. To do this, the size of the terrace must be increased so as to provide free access to the brazier and avoid smoke. dining table and windows.
The minimum distance between the stove and the table must be at least 2 meters. A ready-made metal brazier is installed or a stone brazier is built from bricks with a chimney. For such a barbecue, a separate foundation is erected, which is taken into account at the design stage.
It is better to make the floor of the terrace from paving slabs or sandstone if the terrace is open. For glass terrace apply and wooden floor . Glazing is made of sliding aluminum or plastic frames. Plastic frames used for warm glazing. Lightweight aluminum structures provide protection from the elements, but the temperature inside the enclosed space will only be a couple of degrees higher than outside.
A bathhouse with a barbecue and panoramic glazing on the veranda will become a place of attraction for household members after a working week.
With swimming pool
The benefits of bath procedures will increase many times over when arranging a swimming pool or plunge pool in the relaxation room. The pool is located near the shower room.
The pool bowl is made of concrete and finished with tiles.
The tiles are selected to match the overall decoration of the rest room. Floral patterns and mosaics will add an oriental flavor. For a Russian-style bathhouse, stone, brick and wooden sides are suitable.
IN one-story baths often they design a complex of a terrace with a plunge pool under a canopy. The font is made of wood and placed on a wooden platform in the fresh air.
In the Japanese version, the hot tub is heated with electric heating elements, which are built into the housing. Combining a recreation area with a bathhouse, a ready-made frame pool is installed for summer swimming or a stationary pool is erected, with sun loungers or beach chairs placed nearby.
The reservoir can have strict geometric outlines or be close to its natural shape. In this case, the shore is decorated with pebbles and plants: hosta, astilbe, and cereals. The bathhouse with a swimming pool on the terrace is protected from prying eyes by a hedge from flowering bushes or vines on supports.
A comprehensive recreation area requires good lighting, as it is used in the evening.
Lighting the area with electricity is done if there are communications, more economical option– lighting with LEDs or solar-powered lanterns.
Small room
Small baths cannot boast of a large set of rooms, so they often have a shower in the rest room. In the decoration of premises with such planning solution it is necessary to take into account high humidity and select appropriate materials: tiles, plastic panels, natural or artificial stone.
The shower must be separated from the relaxation area with a glass or plastic partition so that splashes do not disturb vacationers.
It is preferable to purchase furniture from moisture-resistant materials. Correct selection finishing will make using the shower convenient, and staying in the rest room will be comfortable.
Design
The design of the rest room is determined by the chosen design style. For finishing a bath it is better to choose natural materials, resistant to moisture. All rooms are convenient to keep clean if the space is not cluttered extra items, and the surfaces are easy to clean. The design of the rest room is determined by the chosen design style.
Rural or Russian style
Direction involves application natural wood for covering walls and floors. Wood is processed special compounds against fungus and coated with oil or wax. The natural color of wood gives the interior light tone, which visually increases the space.
It looks interesting to use in wall cladding unedged boards, which is cleared of bark and polished. The room takes on brutal features.
This inexpensive finish provides thermal insulation and an aesthetic accent.
The walls can be lined with clapboard coniferous species, decorate with carvings.
The furniture for such a relaxation room is made with your own hands from solid pine or purchased ready-made and complemented with decor from relief images on wood with a bathhouse theme. Look beautiful log walls as a symbol of traditional Russian culture. For budget options use a block house made of plastic, imitating various types of wood.
Scandinavian style
Optimal combination functionality and simplicity. The decoration prevails White color with brown or black structural elements.
The main materials are wood and glass. The entire color scheme is calm, and the geometric theme can be seen everywhere. It is appropriate to use natural or artificial stone, the panel made from wood cuts looks original. The entire furnishings are practical and durable.
The design of a residential bathhouse has recently become one of the most popular construction options for this building in Russia available today.
This is primarily due to the high cost of land, especially in the suburbs of large cities, which is why land owners begin to save literally every square meter. m, and try to combine several buildings under one roof. As a result, you can see how bathhouses are being built, combined with guest houses, or with living rooms.
Pros and cons of residential baths
Residential baths and their projects have both pros and cons. This is due to the fact that such a structure is a small mansion, which is specially divided into several functional zones, which may include rooms quite different in their purpose. For example this:
- kitchen studio;
- bedroom;
- rest room;
- direct bath rooms – washing room and steam room.
From a technical point of view, such buildings can be implemented, for example, as a bathhouse project with a second residential floor, or as projects of bathhouses with a living room. In any case, such buildings are built on the same foundation using common engineering communications. As a result, the owner of the land plot has at his disposal a whole complex of premises, which allows him not only to enjoy comfortable rest in a bathhouse, but also to live in it with all the amenities characteristic of an ordinary residential building.
It’s worth saying right away that bathhouse designs with a living room have only one drawback - the high cost of construction. At the same time, construction needs to be carried out quickly, without stretching it over several years.
The point is that when phased construction the building may sag, as a result of which the new parts being added may end up at different levels, and cracks will appear in the already built parts.
As for the advantages of such a project, the first of them is the economic aspect. The fact is that it is more profitable to maintain buildings under one roof from a financial point of view. This applies to heating, the use of electricity and sewerage, overhaul. Separately standing buildings much more expensive to operate, as they require individual maintenance.
The second advantage of combined projects is the opportunity to significantly expand living space premises available on the site. This opportunity can be appreciated by families with growing children or those who have moved to the area from another region. In this case, there is no need to purchase additional land area or expand the existing one.
When a bathhouse with a living room is built, the project implies it permanent residence there are people in it, so it is important to comply with all fire safety requirements with the maximum possible use the entire area of the land plot. The fact is that SNIPs require maintaining a distance of 5 m from other buildings when constructing bath structures. If you combine them with living rooms, you will be able to use the area of the site under the bathhouse for your family members to live in it, and you will not need to build a second house on the site. 
Options for residential bathhouse projects
Currently, the construction market presents a wide variety of projects for the construction of bathhouses with residential premises. At the same time, it is possible to combine exclusively bath rooms and living rooms in only two ways: by building them on the same floor, and by dividing them on different floors. Thus, a residential bathhouse and its construction project, which involves the construction of living rooms in the same building with a steam room and a washing room, usually includes 2 zones, sometimes with different exits.
The feather zone is the bathhouse itself. The second is living quarters. Basically this ordinary house with a bathhouse, so you can’t expect any frills from him in terms of equipping the steam room itself. At the same time, you will have to equip more reliable and efficient ventilation, allowing you to remove all fumes from the steam room and washing room to the outside. You will also have to carry out enhanced waterproofing of the combined room, since moisture from the bathhouse will penetrate into the living spaces and spoil them.
The second option for constructing a residential bathhouse is protected from the need for enhanced ventilation and waterproofing, since all residential premises will be located on the second floor. The design of a bathhouse with a residential second floor can be made with or without an attic. If you prefer classic version, then you will be able to build living rooms of a larger area, in addition, they will be better suited for living in winter.
If you liked a residential bathhouse with an attic, then its designs will provide for the possibility of erecting lightweight structures. At the same time, the area of the attic living room will be smaller than if you preferred classic design. However, the option of building a bathhouse with a residential attic is cheaper compared to building a residential building with a full second floor.
There is another option for combining a bathhouse and a residential building - this is an extension. In principle, this is a pretty good solution in the case when you definitely need to build it, and there is not enough space on the land plot. In this case, you will have to mandatory take into account during construction compliance fire safety standards and rules, as well as the need to correctly fit the extension into the existing architectural ensemble. 
The most popular residential bathhouse project
As for the most popular types bathhouses combined with living rooms, today Russians prefer the 6x6 bathhouse design with a second residential floor. This is explained by the fact that such a building takes up little space, while the rooms in it are spacious enough to live in. all year round. At the same time, it is possible to heat them with the least fuel consumption. This is very important when your bathhouse is located outside the city.
The second most popular option is a bathhouse located inside the guest house. In principle, such a project cannot be called independent, since in this case the steam room and washing room become a type of bathroom, but they will be maximally integrated into the design of the house. Besides, in in this case it will be possible to combine a bathhouse with accommodation for guests for a sufficient for a long time. But the house is much better suited for life than the second floor of a bathhouse or an attic.
As for the popularity of projects from an architectural point of view, perhaps in first place is classic style or a traditional Russian wooden bathhouse. The second most popular can be called Finnish houses or Scandinavian style, and the third – Art Nouveau style.
The number of rooms in this case is limited, since at least 2 rooms will be given over to a bathhouse. Thus, you can get only 3-4 rooms to live if you build a second floor or attic. This circumstance should be taken into account in the case when you need a bathhouse with a second residential floor and projects that take into account the possibility of building a second floor.
There are 2 options for choosing a project to build a residential bathhouse - independently and with the help of a professional architect. You can independently choose the option for constructing a building in the case where it will have small sizes, and you plan to build it separately. If you are going to build an architectural complex, then in any case you will have to turn to a professional architect, since you will not be able to independently take into account all the nuances of building a real large-area residential building with a built-in bathhouse. 
Technical nuances of construction
The construction of bathhouses combined with residential premises has some nuances that must be reflected in the project. So, for example, if you decide to build a two-story building, you will need to significantly strengthen the foundation of the building. If for an ordinary bath a light one is quite enough strip foundation, a two-story building will require significant deepening, as well as the use of reinforcing mesh during its construction.
In addition, you will have to pay great attention to the arrangement of foundation drainage, as well as waterproofing, which is not typical for residential premises. The fact is that the bathhouse generates a large number of Wastewater, which can penetrate into living spaces and damage them. In addition, poorly constructed sewerage can simply wash away the foundation of a building. In this regard, you will have to spend additional money on creating good drainage and sewer system, as well as for waterproofing.
In the bathhouse they are created high temperatures, which can be combined with high humidity. The washing machine can emit quite unpleasant odors, which can be carried throughout living rooms.
Only properly executed powerful power will help you get rid of them. ventilation system. Naturally, it will cost quite a lot of money, so these costs will need to be taken into account at the development stage.
The design of a bathhouse with living quarters also has its own characteristics. So, for example, usually a steam room does not have windows, so if you have a two-story bathhouse, then the first floor will have only 1 window - in the dressing room or washing room. As for the finishing of the described structure, it can be anything: ceramic tiles, siding, metal profiles. At the same time, if you are building from wood, then it will be enough for you to coat the outer walls with varnish. 
Build it yourself or order it?
After you decide on the design of your bathhouse and take everything into account technical nuances construction, you will be faced with the question of whether to build it yourself, or order construction from specialists. Each option has its pros and cons that should be weighed before taking necessary solution.
So, if you decide to engage in independent construction, you will have the opportunity to build a residential bathhouse exactly in the form in which you need it. You can independently increase or decrease the size of a particular room, as well as add additional architectural elements to their equipment.
Besides, self-construction will allow you to significantly save money on paying for the work of builders and purchasing building materials. The fact is that if you buy building materials for your bathhouse yourself, you can save up to 10%.
As for the disadvantages, the main one is the impossibility, without special knowledge, to take into account all the nuances of building a bathhouse located in a residential building. They are treated as technical points, and compliance with requirements sanitary standards and rules, as well as fire safety rules.
In the event that you decide to select or order a construction project from a construction company, you will be relieved of worries about its compliance with legal requirements. In addition, such projects are usually already tested by clients, so you will end up with a convenient and comfortable building.
Another advantage of deciding to entrust the work to builders is that you do not need to be constantly present at the construction site. So, all you have to do is choose the project you like and sign a construction contract. Next, you will only need to come periodically in order to accept one or another stage of the work and pay for it.
The disadvantages of building a bathhouse with the help of professional builders include, firstly, the inability to make any changes to the construction project. The fact is that the builders will adhere to the agreed project, and if you decide to add another room or reduce one of the existing ones, you most likely will not be able to do this.
Secondly, construction costs are usually inflated construction companies. This is achieved by purchasing building materials at inflated prices from their suppliers or by changing the volume of work performed. In this case, you can overpay up to half the actual cost of the entire construction.
In any case, the final decision should be made only after you have taken into account and calculated your strengths and capabilities, both physical and material.
