89 free house designs. Officials did not expect such interest
New house designs appear on the website of the General Office of Construction Supervision from time to time, which can be downloaded and used free of charge. The initial idea was that there would only be designs for houses with an area of up to 70 m2, but the popularity of the idea meant that the Ministry of Development also allocated money to develop designs for larger buildings.
Several months ago, some rules related to the construction of single-family houses with an area of up to 70 m2 were simplified. Moreover, the Ministry of Development and Technology promised that people wishing to build such a small house for their own needs will be able to use free projects that will be available on the website of the General Office of Construction Supervision. The promised projects appeared and apparently met expectations, because Poles willingly download them. Following the trend, the ministry decided to expand the database of free projects to include larger houses.
– Free house designs up to 70 m2 turned out to be a real hit – almost 62,000 of them were downloaded. This prompted us to announce another architectural competition, this time for larger buildings that will better meet the needs of families. I’m sure they will be even more popular, he said a few months agoy Minister of Development and Technology Waldemar Buda.
HUNB: there are free designs for larger houses
And in fact, for several days now, designs of single-family houses with an area of area have been available on the GUNB website 120, 150 and 180 m2. ŁIn total, 89 projects are available on the GUNB website – including four houses. So far, they have been downloaded over 77,000. times
As pointed out by the Chief Inspector of Construction Supervision, Dorota Cabańska, quoted in the MRiT release, the house designs provided are “primarily universal, thanks to which they meet the needs of a wide range of future investors.” – Each project can be adapted to a given region and its specificity – she added
– Free house designs up to 70 square meters are very popular, but we are aware that for some individual investors such houses may be simply too small – large families are looking for something larger. I am even more pleased that four more proposals for energy-efficient houses with a larger area have appeared on the GUNB website, said former Minister of Development and Technology Waldemar Buda. As we wrote, yesterday he packed up and left the ministry building.
Such ready-made designs make it easier for people who are planning to build a house – a design from a designer costs from PLN 5,000. PLN up. Of course, the “ready-made” product must be adapted to the specificity of the plot and adapted in accordance with the development conditions or local development plan for a given area, which is done for a fee by the designer, but having a free design reduces the final cost. Ready-made designs can also be an inspiration for people who want to design a building from scratch but are looking for guidance.
