The Dhaka Times Desk Everyone thinks that building a house requires a lot of money. That's right though. But there are some ways by which you can build a house at a much lower cost. Our today's arrangement is about building such a house.
The house was designed by I-Beam. They basically designed it with refugees in mind. So that it can be made at very low cost.
Pallets will be used to build the house. A pallet is a wooden box used to transport goods. They are no longer useful. As a result, they can be bought at very low prices. A year and a half of US pallets alone could house 33 million refugees. Let's see how to build the house…
First you need to design the house. Its dimensions should be fixed. Then collect the required wooden pallets. If you have more budget you can also use pieces of wood.
The floor and roof of the house should be made of wood. First build the floor. Then put the pillars of the house with long wood. Then make each wall separately and connect it to the room. The doors and windows will also be made with pallets.
You can use different materials like plastic, carpet if you want. Then paint the room beautifully.
You don't have to be a carpenter to build this house. It can be easily made in less time with very less equipment.
Although this house is designed for refugees, anyone can build it. Using wood instead of pallets will cost more but will make the house relatively stronger.
Such a house can be built at a very low cost. The number of slum dwellers in our country is very high. This house is an effective way to solve their housing problem. If government or private initiatives train people and build houses at low cost, on one hand people would get a healthy environment, on the other hand the areas would also look beautiful.
