As in the case of member, number 4282064 who wants to design a house by an architect to get both exterior and interior house styles that meet the needs and budget there. What is the process of employing an architect? Can see.

Share experiences, hire architects and interior design houses
(By member number 4282064)

My wife and I thought that building a house would cost a lot of money because it already had land. But when trying to find information, it was found that there was a high budget. Causing the idea that buying a house in the village is better But the problem is that the house price and living space do not match the demand. So I thought that building a house would be the answer to the price and living space.

First, I started from Find information from the internet and consult with the neighbors by introducing new graduates When he talked to the architect, I felt his enthusiasm. Therefore agreed to help write the form By making one contract.

After 1 month, therefore get a house model.

Lower floor plan

Top floor plan

When actually created, there are many changes within the spot because there are plans to make a room for a daycare. Try to use Windmee to know about house ventilation.

Exterior house

When I saw the house plan that the architect designed, I liked it. Outside, I didn’t give him anything to change.

At first, I set up a budget of 3 million houses. But the greed has blinded him, adding that until the budget escalates, the new appraiser becomes 3.5 million. This price is just a rough talk. Have not yet seen the details of the material, how good it is to create it or not, still not sure

This image, Architect Rendering, see Because I complained that the house would come out beautiful?

When the house was finished, I asked for a land survey. By contacting the process fee 6,000 baht

When the day of the land surveying Waiting for the staff for about half an hour. I saw a pickup truck with 4 people sitting behind me. I guess it was a car from … of course. When the car was finished, there was a man from the car. Complained from far away that “the hot sun told the land without trees Look, there are lots of trees and water. How can I go down to see the pins? ”

Me: At my place, it is on 3 corners of the road. There is only 1 corner in the water. We measure 3 corners and drag it to the 4th corner.

The man: didn’t have to find 4 corners at all.

Uncle in that area: You don’t have a camera to shoot.

The man: I’m not a camera.

I: What to do?

The man: If letting my workers go down to find pins, I ask for 4,000 wages. Which he also paid me

Me: Have you already paid?

On the side: Yes, including the surveying fee is 10,000 baht.

Me: In conclusion, do I have to pay more?

The man: Yes, because I will let the workers go down to find the pins. Will let me go down one way, I mess up and how to go back to work

I: Take money in the envelope well, or today, the job is not walking.

PS. I feels very negative about this event.

After completing the survey for another 30 days, hired a reclamation area of ​​69 sq.w., depth of about 1 meter, filling up from the road for another 50 centimeters. There are 1-2 large trees. Price 250,000 baht. But the uncle received a very good work filling. On the same day, the soil was compacted and the soil did not mess up the road in the alley.

After the house is finished and filled I talked to the architect about finding a contractor. Which I have enough people to know to build a house, but the history of each person has money problems, mostly causing me to not trust So I asked the architect to play.

Me: If you hire a house builder, can you do it?

Architect: Now I’m building a house for others.

I: Oh … .. building a house too? Think of writing one example.

Architect: I build a house and write in style.

Me: In this way, you can build a house for me.

Architect: Yes. If you are going to hire me, then make it.

In conclusion, I hired an architect to design and build a house. By the architect already having a regular contractor, the architect himself will control the contractor again I ask the architect to make the contract as detailed as possible. Because fear is also disadvantageous

While waiting for the architect to contact the Land Department to request permission for construction I have an idea of ​​how to build a house.

Is it expensive? What was found was as expensive as building a house like KIRIN. The job was very beautiful. But the price is also high

So I consulted the architect what to do after building the house. The architect gave advice that he tried to find the ceiling, wall and floor countertops.

If possible, will help save a lot of money. Looking for information, as always, most will find a house image on Pinterest and Houzz. Finally, I decided to hire an interior to design the house. At home, I haven’t even created it. I agreed to contract the interior design. By employing only 100 square meters of design

Takes about a month In my house I came out like this.

 

After I watched the photos that the interior designed for, it still didn’t answer me. What really wanted Is a house that comes out as beautiful as the photos we watch on Pinterest, but it doesn’t look like the money that needs to be paid for interiors So consult the person who recommended the interior to be the architect.

Me: I would like to consult the interior.

Station: Can you have any problems?

Me: is the interior style that the interior came out to me is not pretty.

Architect: May not have a light to put on, so it’s not pretty.

Me: If put on fire, will the image look more beautiful?

Architect: It will be more beautiful.

The image after making rendering and come out pretty and beautiful, but I don’t know how to create it.

Summarize what was obtained from the architect and interiors found Feeling friendly and attentive to the job, because both people are still teenagers, so they want to create a good work. Do not forget to try Windmee to know about house ventilation.

Top 5 Most Used Architect Programs

Do you want to know what the architects currently use to create some home designs? We have collected popular programs, let’s see.

Autodesk AutoCAD

Autodesk AutoCAD is a computer-assisted design software (Computer Aided Drafting / Design, CAD) that can support both 2D and 3D operations. The development company is Autodesk. Even in the software market, there are many CAD programs. Engineering, architecture and various industries of organizations, both government and private organizations around the world, most commonly used AutoCAD because it is a software with high capabilities. The three-dimensional modeling. The designer can control the drawing. Change the view in all directions around Determine the characteristics of the drawing as needed. With commands and powerful help tools Helps save time and money, making AutoCAD a good choice in high resolution and precision applications.

Sketchup

Sketchup is a program created under the concept of combining advantages from prototyping. With a pencil to write down
Paper and using digital media to combine applications Effective It has an intelligent guidance system that uses the points, lines, surfaces to be used as a reference in modeling. Making the job creation like Smooth and fun It also has an easy-to-use interface.
The 3D model created in SketchUp looks like a surface model, forming a 3-dimensional surface, making it inside the hollow model. Unlike creating a 3D model, Solid is similar to clay molding, making it within a ton model. In addition, the curve characteristics in SketchUp are due to consist of The small straight line together, the rounded surface is the composition of the small flat surface together. The model is therefore not as smooth as creating a curve from a true curve, but good results. Is to make use of less resources File size is not large And fast processing

There are many programs for creating 3D applications. Different with features, usage, features and price from free to use properly.

Lumion

Lumion is a popular virtual scenery program. Because it is easy to use Fast and save time in work, can quickly render images, which will allow the designer to reduce work time and create beautiful works in a short time, able to support object models from external programs Various forms

Autodesk 3ds max

Autodesk 3Ds Max is a graphical computer program for Three-dimensional models and animations Works in the form of a three-dimensional principle, which has an x-axis, y-axis and Z-axis together,  able to create curve shape easily, able to create in realistic scenes and good at render.

Autodesk Revit

Autodesk Revit is software for Autodesk. Is a software to help design the building work, especially in the form of CAD, using the principle of building a building information simulation system or building a building information model (Building Information Modeling) instead of drawing. By using the Parametric Change Engine, which will be followed by the construction model, various composite items, landscape images and rough construction materials The form of usage will be three-dimensional.

This is a popular program used in architects. Also, we recommend a program that will help analyze the flow of wind in the house. To help design Can be applied to all of the above programs, that is WindmeeWindmee aims to develop simple automatic wind simulation from house, condo, room or any building floor plan image instead of creating a 3d model for building analysis, our process is based on image processing that recognizes and analyzes a image of building plan, then uses it to simulate airflow in realtime building simulation.
