Checklist Before Starting Two-Storey House Construction

Building a two-story house is a big decision that requires careful planning so that the construction process runs smoothly and the final result is as expected. There are many things that need to be prepared, not only in terms of design, but also in terms of technical aspects, budget, and material selection. To help you, here is an important checklist before starting construction of a two-story house.

1. Ensure the Legality of the Land and Building Permit (IMB)
Before starting construction, ensure that the land to be used has a clear and complete legal status. Land certificates, sales and purchase agreements, and proof of PBB payments are important documents that must be available. Don't forget to take care of the Building Permit (IMB) or other permits according to local regulations.

2. Consult the Design with an Architect and Structure
A two-story house requires more complex structural calculations than a one-story house. Consult the design with a professional architect and make sure the design is reviewed by a structural expert so that the house is sturdy and safe.

3. Calculate the Cost Budget Plan (RAB)
Preparing a Cost Budget Plan (RAB) will help you project total expenses and avoid budget overruns. RAB includes the cost of materials, labor, professional services, and unexpected costs.

4. Choose Quality Materials According to Function
High-quality materials are very important, especially for main structures such as:

• SNI reinforced concrete for reinforcement
• Practical columns to strengthen vertical structures
• Bondek and wiremesh for second floor slabs
• CNP and UNP iron for roof frames or canopies

Make sure you buy from a trusted distributor to get original and durable products.

5. Prepare Contractors and Construction Schedule
Choose a contractor who has a good portfolio and experience building two-story houses. Ask about their work system, estimated work time, and the form of progress report that will be provided.

Prepare a detailed construction schedule, starting from land preparation, foundation installation, first floor structure, to finishing work on the second floor.

6. Pay Attention to Access and Logistics
Make sure the location of the house can be passed by large vehicles for transporting materials. If access is narrow, consider alternative methods of delivering materials so as not to hinder construction time.

7. Understand the Utility System (Electricity, Water, and Ventilation)
The construction of a two-story house must take into account the installation of electricity, clean water, drainage, and good air circulation. All of these systems need to be designed from the start so as not to interfere with the building structure during installation.

Conclusion
Building a two-story house is not only about aesthetics, but also about safety, efficiency, and long-term comfort. With this checklist, you can be better prepared to face the construction process, from the beginning until the house is ready to be occupied.
