~ Points Homebuilder ~~ Should Watch For:

The construction of a house is a ‘complex undertaking involving many details. In-order to chart the course construction will take and ‘to help the individual under- stand and visualize the details

involved plans are produced.

Such plans ‘are awn, to scale, which inthe majority of cases for , house” construction represent one quarter of an inch to equal each foot in width, len- gth and height of the house. Symbols are shown to indicate ‘the different component parts, so. with the help. of the scale | and symbols the average -person | is “able to nnderstand the size rooms, halls, closets,

etc.. and te visualize the unit as oe whole “Ensure that the particular

plan chosen suits your purpose,, as changes after construction | has started can be costly. When a house is_ being constructed | with National Housing Act fin- ancing, alterations to plans have

to be approved to ensure that they conform to the required standard of the relevant part of National Building Code of Can-

-ada Central Mortgage and Hodsing Corporation offers free of

charge to anyone contemplating building a house an excellent book entitled “Choosing. A House Design” ALTERING HOUSE PLANS

The’ Corporation will not’ en- dorse a change in an approved plan if it is likely to alter the lending value on which a WNa-, tional Housing Aet—Joan is bas- ed

Minor changes can be made after having first obtained t he Corporation's approval, but care should be exercised when making changes to plans to en- sure. that no other part of the structure will be affected by the | change.

For -example enlarging, a ° room could possibly result in the .

supporting joists being over. their designed span limit, Many | NHA approved plans are aval}. | ie Central ‘Mortgage and Hous- | inc Corporation. offers. a good’) selection at nominal prices in a | catalogue entitled ‘Small House | Desizns” which can be obtained “free of charge This book and | many~—other ‘publidations_of. as-

sistance to a prospective home-

owner may be obtained ‘from anv CMHC office

Srecifications are the ‘written description of the work to be done In general they cover all | the features of the work which are. tot shown on the plans, such as the quality of the mater- | tal, the nature of standard of | workmanship and should he ted as carefully as the plans

They supplement: the plans, as the specifications furnish the instructions the plans do not and -the plans show what the specifi- cations cannot . Whére a4 prospective =hemec

should therefore enter “into every. phase of the specifications with his builder before construction begins. ° ce

Such items .as ‘concrete stren- gth, lumber grades, électrical

ing; exterier finish-should all be | designated, \and understood . by both parties prior to commen- cemeént_of work.

FOLLOW SPECIFICATIONS During the course of construc-’ tion the homeowner should

check for himself, or have

checked by his architect if ap-'

able. - that the itfons as

aid down by the specifications are being complied with. — In- spection firms offer this service ‘to ‘the homeowner in some of lour larger communities.

Since a house is in many cas- ies the largest single investment imany families.ever make, ‘the additional fee required to retain an architect or inspection firm to do the inspections can be a very sound’ investment. It is ‘cheaper to prevent errors in construction than to correct mis- takes later on.

will inspect the house at: varying stages of construction, but only in order te ascertain. that the relevant section of the National’
