We Built Our Own Camper From Scratch Out In The Desert

We are no strangers to camping. In fact, we have been living almost exclusively on the road, frequenting BLM and national forest lands, since 2018, and have gone through four campsites at that time. After a special work that planted us in one place for three months, we set off (mostly indifferent to the horizon) just as the effects of the pandemic hit the nation and the world: March 2020.

But we wanted something better than the cheaply built, often problematic RVs we were used to. We wanted something with hard sides (for safety) but not too heavy and bulky, as that would be a burden to transport along the way and limit where we could go.

A generous pile of 2 × 2 wood – we end up buying quite a bit more

Having a truck already, we worked with what we had. One of the bigger lessons I’ve learned over the years on the road is not to focus on what you don’t have, but to work to the limits and “do what you can, with what you have, where you is. ”(This is a quote from varlet Bill Widener, often attributed to Theodore Roosevelt.)

Framing it

We recently sold our latest “camper van,” which was a basic fiberglass truck capsule designed for contractors and converted by us for camping. It was low profile and big enough for a bed and some storage.

Now is the time for something more suitable for us.

We wrapped the studs with aluminum flashing, a total of five rolls

The seams were taped with aluminum waterproof tape

 

What we have done is not perfect. We have not experienced builders. But my wife and I combined our knowledge of construction learned in part during our younger years by helping our parents with various home remodeling projects and building something we hoped we could make happy.

The circumstances in which we built our truck were not ideal … at least. We had no flat terrain.

Lightweight foam insulation was inserted and glued between each 2 × 2

Adding the bookcase; by that time, we had moved to a friend’s house to continue the work

It was north of Tucson, a BLM site with nothing but pale green, shrubbery, some well-chopped saguaros, and all dust. Military aircraft flew daily, along with some private gliders, which circled silently above; even the occasional parachute trainers fell at high altitude somewhere across Interstate 10, barely visible in the midday sun.

Here is the framework for our bench storage

The fifty watts of solar energy we got in wasn’t enough to power tools beyond filling up any 12V batteries for my drill that were old, tired, and barely charged. Naturally, all woodcuts were made by hand.

The 2 × 2 wood at Home Depot was curved, knotted and prone to splitting.

Our budget was very limited due to difficulties I was able to fill a book discussion.

We got this cool vintage door and I framed it to fit using stained wood from an old bed frame

 

But in the end, we got framed in the camper and had a proper shell. At the time it was light enough to get into the back of our old Ford truck.

Over time, people with materials and various aids (you know who you are, and we always appreciate your help).

A beautiful sunset captured during the construction

100 watts of sunscreen tied to our signature blue awning, made of metal futon, which we bought for $ 20

Finally, the pieces came together and we had something workable. We recycled a lot of material and took advantage of our limited resources, forcing ourselves to work almost exclusively with what we had at our disposal, only by buying things considered absolutely essential.

What you see in the video (link at the end) is a tour of where we are right now. We have plans for more, but the project has reached a point where we are happy to share it with those looking for ways to live simply and cheaply and build their own platforms with a very limited budget.

It’s always good to see free electricity coming in!

Eventually, the camper becomes more domestic; the left “wall” is the bottom of the folding bed

The sofa and roof

We then added two windows to light and ventilate

The “New” truck with a freshly painted wooden flat bed

Then we added some steps

We hope you can gather some ideas for your own built-in project, as doing it yourself will ultimately save you a lot of money, give you the personal nuances, and hopefully give you the longevity you probably won’t get from most anything on the RV market.

Wild horses visiting our back door

Camping in the mountains at a new favorite place

Another of the greatest lessons I have learned and paid attention to: the most worthy things are also the most difficult; realizing something good can and will destroy you until the desire to stop completely. I have felt that many times. But you go on, it’s over, and you’re glad (and probably amazed) that you did it. Make no mistake: living on the road is NOT easy. Behindus behind all the good sunshine, beach campfires, spotless RV interiors and bright Instagram smiles are perhaps a near-train wreck. Vehicles break down, curtains stain, finances run out, plans fail, people fail, the weather prevents everything (although these are things that happen in any life scenario). But van life, bus life and truck life can be a much simpler and cheaper way to live. And if nothing else, you can’t surpass the ability to change your backyard (and your neighbors) whenever you want.

Some perspective … a little life in a big world

Prices and Types of Flooring Tiles in Pakistan

Guide for flooring tiles and their rates

Bathrooms and kitchens were previously the most typical places in Pakistan to find Flooring Tiles. In contrast to mosaic or marble flooring, which would have been historically popular in residences, now it is widespread and completely fashionable for newly built houses to employ tiles as the most frequent flooring type. As a result, if you’re renovating your home’s flooring or building a new one, you’ll need to know what type of tile to use and how much it’ll cost. Keep on reading as we go so over different construction tiles available in Pakistan, as well as their prices based on sub-varieties, brands, and some other criteria.

Types of Flooring Tiles

Let us discuss the most common varieties of floor tiles in Pakistan

Ceramic Tiles

Ceramic tiles are one of the most popular clay-based tiles on the market. They are mined, prepared, and molded before use. Their ability to blend in with almost any type of interior décor will astound you. Ceramic tiles’ most important features include their long lifespan, variety of applications, and strong resistance to scratches and abrasion.

They can sustain years of constant foot activity thanks to their durability. They provide a diverse range of design options. Ceramic tiles feature matchless colors and patterns and thus are usually covered in a durable finish. Ceramic tiles, but will not be used outside because they cannot withstand the heat and therefore do not adapt well to the freezing temperatures that winter brings. They have a proclivity for moisture absorption.

Porcelain Tiles

Someone frequently classified porcelain tiles as ceramic tiles because of the subtle differences between them and ceramic tiles. Porcelain tiles are made of denser clay but are fired at greater temperatures than non-porcelain ceramic tiles. As a function, the material is much more durable and resistant to harm. Porcelain tiles, unlike standard ceramic tiles, can be utilized outside because of their low porosity and improved resilience to cold and extreme temperatures.

Porcelain tiles are available in polished and unpolished finishes and thus are suited for a range of domestic and commercial applications with light foot traffic. They also are available in glazed versions, but this is less durable.

Granite Tiles

Granite tiles are the best choice whether you’re planning to put tiles in a high-traffic location. They’re made of granite, a dense and durable igneous rock. This rock’s speckled minerals and unique veining not just set it apart from other materials, but the mix of the two also ensures that neither two granite surfaces are alike. Granite tiles have such a fantastic reputation in the flooring industry because of this. Luxurious establishments get a strong demand for them since they are produced in a large variety of colors and have a great aesthetic value.

The natural and durable material utilized aids the scratch-resistant surface. Granite tiles are light and tiny in size, making them easy to work with. They are also acid-resistant. Granite tiles, like marble floors, are highly porous and stain-prone. However, once polished, they perform admirably in terms of scratch resistance.

Travertine Tiles

Travertine pieces are made of travertine, a form of limestone found in hot springs, natural spring springs, and caves all around the world. The material comes in a variety of hues and has pits or a rough texture that is caused by air bubbles and organic materials. Travertine tiles have such a beautiful surface that illuminates and provides your interior area with a natural look.

The durability of the travertine material can be judged by the fact that it was used to build the ancient Roman structures which can be seen in Italy today. As a result, the travertine is an excellent choice for temples, sculptures, and theatres. It is now commonly used in the construction of pathways, restrooms, pool decks, as well as other areas in which there is a lot of water exposure. Travertine is 100 percent biodegradable, giving it an ecologically friendly material. It’s both long-lasting and easy to manage.

Even though it’s a less expensive alternative than some other high-end materials, travertine tiles still are pricey, and so many people cannot afford to install them.

Slate Tiles

Slate, which is mined from natural mineral deposits, is one of the most popular floor coverings. It aids throughout the production of extremely durable tiles while still inducing natural beauty to give your floor a stunning appearance. The material can maintain a room warm even while providing a safe flooring option because of its high slip resistance. Regardless of the fact that slate tiles are less expensive than marble and granite tiles, they still are regarded as high-end and attain a greater price than ceramic tiles.

Sandstone Tiles

Sandstone tiles are designed to give your outdoor spaces a deep, natural feel. Pool surrounds, patios, and walks are among the most typical applications. Sandstone tiles come in many colors, patterns, and sizes, and they add a great earthy touch to every space.

Matte Vs Glossy

As stated earlier, a print, design, or pattern is applied on ceramic and porcelain tiles after they’ve been cooked throughout the kiln. The magnitude of these effects can vary, as well as the resulting pattern can be glossy or matte.

Matte tiles are commonly used in kitchens and bathrooms where there are a lot of water spills because shiny tiles could be highly slippery in high-traffic areas. Shiny tiles give the floor a sheen and add elegance to a room’s appearance, rendering them more popular in lounge spaces and drawing rooms. Granite tiles will not have prints imposed on them since they are made of natural rock, and they are usually available in matte varieties with a coating applied to give them even more enduring.

Half-body Vs Full-body

The amount of wear and tear that full-body and half-body tiles can withstand is the key difference. Concrete pavers are always half-body, which implies that after they are manufactured, a thin layer of paint is applied to a tile. Porcelain tiles, on the other side, come in half-and full-body variants. Because the printed layer on half-body tiles is just a few centimeters thick, when the tile is broken, the top layer would be exposed, exposing white or red clay beneath.

Full-body tiles, on the other hand, are designed to have their color, pattern, or design walk the length of the tile. When these tiles are chipped or filed away, they expose a second layer with the same design as the first, rather than a patch of clay underneath, that can be unsightly. Granite tiles, unlike the other two, are always full-body because they are cut from genuine rock.

Round-edged Vs Laser-cut

Tiles have always been put with a certain number of spaces between them, which are filled with grout. Depending on the manufacturing methods used and the material used, they could be round-edged or laser-cut. Granite tiles, for example, always are laser-cut away from the rock, resulting in sharp edges. Ceramic tiles, on the other hand, normally have rounded edges, but porcelain comes in a combination of both options.

What Type Of Tile Should I Use And Why?

You now know about the three most common varieties of flooring tiles in Pakistan; choosing between these may well be influenced by a variety of factors, such as.

  • Size
  • Strength
  • Durability
  • Target area
  • Availability of patterns
  • Ease of installation
  • Cost

Here is another quick rundown of the factors to consider about this before deciding on the tile that’s right for you.

Size

Tiles come in a variety of sizes, with 1224 inches, 1236 inches, 1824 inches, 2424 inches, and etc being one of the most frequent for central living areas. Larger square tiles are recommended for lounges, drawing areas, and dining rooms, in short. The most common sizes for corner walk-in showers are 912 inches and 1218 inches. Some individuals, though, prefer to use larger tiles in restrooms because they make a small space appear larger.

Tiles come in a variety of sizes, with 12*24 inches, 12*36 inches, 18*24 inches, 24*24 inches, and etc being the most frequent for central living areas. Larger square tiles are recommended for couches, drawing areas, and dining rooms, in short. The most common sizes for corner walk-in showers are 9*12 inches and 12*18 inches. Some individuals, though, prefer to be using larger tiles in restrooms because they make a tiny space appear larger.

Strength

Granite is by far the most durable alternative available, however ceramic is the most vulnerable to breaking and damage. Porcelain tiles will be in the middle of the strength spectrum, but they outperform ceramic equivalents.

Durability

The durability of a tile also is determined by its strength. This implies that of the three alternatives, granite is by far the most durable. Granite also is easy to polish and restore to its former brilliance over time, but porcelain and ceramic tiles may have to be replaced.

Target Area

Because ceramic and porcelain tiles are not too slippery, they are commonly used in the kitchen and bathroom, while glossy tiles of both types are ideal for central living areas where water spills are uncommon. If we truly want your kitchen to survive, go along with granite tiles, which are not only more water-resistant than the other two but also more resistant to damage, cracks, and chips in the event that you drop a large pot or pan on the ground accidentally.

Availability Of Patterns

Geometric, floral, wood, and a variety of many other designs are being printed on half-body ceramic or porcelain tiles, leading to a new boom in the tiling sector. Full-body porcelain tiles, on the other hand, have fewer variations since it is more difficult to create a wide variety of ideas in the clay mixture before firing it. However, since granite tiles are produced from actual stone, there is indeed a restricted range of patterns from which to choose.

Ease Of Installation

Ceramic and porcelain tiles are simple to construct on cement floors because they are bonded with a layer of glue. It can be installed as a do-it-yourself project as well. Granite tiles, on either hand, require specialized installation. An ordinary tile mason can charge between Rs. 22 and 25 per square foot, but if you really want the greatest finish, choose who charges between Rs. 32 and 35 per square foot.

Cost

The cost of tile flooring in Pakistan is an important factor to consider. It flooded the tiling market in Pakistan with foreign ceramic or porcelain tile possibilities. China, Iran, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Spain are also the main suppliers of ceramic tiles. Chinese or Irani tiles, but are also the most frequent, are the cheapest, costing around Rs. 800 and Rs. 1,000 per meter (approximately 3.25 feet). Manufactured in Malaysia and Indonesia, a slightly better quality of tile is accessible in the store for roughly Rs. 2,300 to Rs. 2,800 per meter. The best quality tiles in Pakistan originate from Spain, and they begin at Rs. 2,800 a meter and then go up from that.

Porcelain tiles, on the other hand, are classified according to whether they are full-body or half-body in terms of cost. Half-body porcelain tiles start at roughly Rs. 1,200 per meter, whereas full-body tiles up to Rs. 2,000 per meter. It’s important to note that this was just the beginning price for porcelain tiles; branded and imported kinds might be considerably more expensive. Granite tiles are usually of good quality, with a long lifespan and great strength. As a reason, their typical price per meter is somewhere between Rs. 1,000 and Rs. 1,200.

If you consider the factors listed above, you know you’ve got a choice not only between various types of floor tiles in Pakistan but as well as between the features you want in your tiled flooring or the amount of money you have put down for a home repair and construction project. We’ve provided all of the information so that you can make an informed decision about your home’s flooring specifications.

Man’s Dream House: 4 Shipping Containers, $150,000

Hello again from Australia, which is the most beautiful structures made with shipping containers. On our tour today, we’ll talk about the Jake Richards container house built in South Coast, New South Wales, Australia.

4 x 40 ′ High Cube shipping container was used in the construction of the container house. The house, which has a usable area of ​​130 m2, lasted 3 years.

The cost of the house is about $ 150,000.

The architecture of the house is projected with two containers on the ground floor and two on the upper floor. Containers on the top are stacked about 2m behind. Thus a beautiful balcony was obtained in the front of the house. Dark colors dominate the overall design of the house. Black details dominate at the windows. A layer of milkwood is preferred outside the house. The thinness of the wooden cladding and its placement horizontally gave the house a beautiful view. Congratulations to Jake Richards for this beautiful container house which he completed in 3 years on his own.

If you’re interested in container houses, “traditional architecture” will appeal less to you. With containers, you can be modern-looking, vintage-looking, or whatever you can imagine. Container houses can be as simple as a single cargo unit with doors and windows or can be enlarged with several containers for a larger area. You have hundreds of options with shipping containers. You can create multi-storey container houses, put them on wheels, add porches, glazed everywhere, or whatever matches your unique style with a container house!

Nowadays, especially in the last year, many people have had to change their lifestyle because of Covid-19.

That’s why people have started focusing on new and innovative home solutions. Container houses began to gain popularity in many countries during this period due to their easy purchase and sustainability.

There are more than 14 million out-of-service shipping containers in the world. Some of these are currently used to build housing, apartment complexes, student housing, shopping malls. According to a market report prepared by the Business Research Company, the United States dominates the container market with about 40% market share, followed by Asia Pacific, Europe, Latin America and South Africa.

Container houses can be built in two ways. Fixed or mobile. Each country has its own construction and zoning standards, which can sometimes be very complex. Regulations may include the type of structure to be used, the requirements for square feet, the minimum insulation materials required, and the steel frame requirements required if you are building a second floor. These houses can be built on your land or in a factory and transferred to the land.

The cost of container homes ranges from $ 25,000 to $ 300,000. You can also exceed the $ 300,000 level depending on the materials you use and the size of the house. Overall the cost per square foot is significantly lower than for traditional architecture.

Market Watch in Australia predicts that container houses will have a global compound annual growth rate of more than 6.5% over the next 5 years.

5 Considerations Before Buying a New Construction Home

Buying an existing or new construction site is the most exciting day for many people and also the scariest. When a person rents an apartment or house, they cannot make any changes and must get permission to even paint a room. But they also don’t have to worry about maintenance and repair costs. When something goes wrong, a person just calls the landlord to ask for repairs. When a family buys a new home, they are responsible for care and repair. However, they can make any changes and make any decoration they want and can afford.

Buying a New Home

Buying a new construction home is almost everyone’s dream. But not everyone can afford to be the first owners of a new home. The next best ticket to home ownership is to buy a pre-owned home and remodel or renovate it according to the tastes and needs of a family. Buying a brand new home is still a dream for many homeowners who could start with an existing home and then move up to a new construction home when they can afford it.

But remember that buying a new construction home can also be a hindrance. It is not the same to buy an existing home. There are important considerations for the new home buyer. Here are five notable things:

Before You Start Searching for a Home

  1. Before starting the search get a good property with experience in selling new construction houses. They can protect you and make sure everything during the sale is done correctly.
  2. Find the best lender before starting the home search. They will tell you how much you can pay in payments and interest rates. The right lender can save a house by buying money. Understand all the financial options available to you. Get pre-approval for a loan before starting the home search.
  3. Before the home search begins, look at the different new construction neighborhoods and narrow the search to neighborhoods you can afford, and that appeal to you considering amenities and a convenient place to work and schools. The perfect house in the wrong neighborhood will not be a good choice. What are the amenities the builder plans for the construction? What is planned for the surrounding area in the near future? What is close to the planned neighborhood now? No one wants to be on a direct flight path from an airport or near a factory with harmful fumes.
  4. Look at the builders for the developments you’re considering. Check online reviews and ratings on customer satisfaction. Check with the Better Business Bureau for ongoing purchase complaints. Drive along to homes they’ve built, and take a look at their online website for house plans they offer. Take a look at their price compared to other builders. Ask the Agent that you have chosen to critique the good and bad points of each builder you consider.
  5. As a family, decide what is needed in a home and what every family member wants. Make a priority list of factors that matter in a new home, and try to get as many items on the list in any home considered. A home that does not meet the needs of a family is just not suitable. Don’t settle for a home that won’t be convenient and comfortable to live in.

When You Buy The New Construction House

Here are five considerations when looking for and buying a home:

  1. Remember that the model houses you visit are not the houses you will receive. Your house is yet to be built. Even if you specify that you want the same plan as the model home, it may not be the same. But you can customize each house to your liking. Paint and other finishes make a big difference without changing the cost if you stay according to the construction plans. If you like a floor plan except for a few changes, you can get the changes to the floor plan but it will cost more.
  2. Write down every detail of the new home purchase. This includes colors and finishes, floor plan changes, deadlines, and any other changes and choices. So if something is not so agreed upon, you have written proof of your choices.
  3. Get as many guarantees as possible and receive them in writing. This includes the home finished on time, the quality of construction and customer satisfaction. Ask these questions:
    • What percentage of the homes in the project are sold?
    • Who will you work with during construction?
    • What features are included in the price, and what improvements increase the price of the home?
    • How often can you visit the home during construction?
    • What happens if the home completion is delayed?
    • How are buyers ’concerns and complaints handled?
    • What measures are being taken in construction to affect domestic energy?
  1. Timing is important. When will construction take place? How long will it last? A new home can take from seven months to a year to complete. If you can’t wait that long, consider buying the model home if it’s the right floor plan and appeals to you. Model homes are sold when a large percentage of the homes in the development are sold.
  2. When the home is finished, be sure to receive an independent home inspection and request a correction of defects prior to closing. Builders make mistakes, and it’s best to find them and fix them before closing. Home inspectors see things a homeowner would miss. Then pay attention during the tour and take accurate notes on things that are not appropriate. One of the advantages of buying a new home is that you don’t have to worry about repairs or things breaking or failing for quite some time. So make sure there are no defects before you close the house. The builder will be more willing to repair defects prior to closure.

Buying a new construction site is exciting. Most people buy the biggest house they can afford, and then experience a few surpluses due to changes that increase that investment. Try to avoid any costly changes during construction. Once the closing has taken place and the family has moved into the new home, make sure the furniture and belongings are correct and make sure the unpacking is done promptly so that the family can enjoy living in the new home. Meet your neighbors as soon as possible, and drive around the neighborhood to get to know the family, where all the amenities are located. Now, enjoy the new home.

Things to consider before purchasing a property

Things to consider before purchasing a property

When choosing a house, you must take into account the physical condition of the property to the legal aspects that will allow you to know if the home of your dreams compares to or is identified with your lodging needs and spending plan.

Purchasing a house or condo is speculation that ought not to be trifled with. For this reason, it is so necessary to take into account certain aspects before becoming the owner of your own house or apartment.

So here is the list of things that you should keep in mind before buying a property:

Be minimalist when choosing a home

Be-minimalist-when-choosing-a-home

The process of looking for a house is very exciting; it is easy to get carried away by the most significant properties, those with the best decoration, the best floors or the best furniture. Those shine a lot brighter than small properties with simpler finishes.

The fact of the matter is, you will pay more for that additional room and for the conveniences. The proposal is that you begin visiting houses with costs that are near what you have saved. If you prefer to see it differently, start from the bottom and work your way up in case you can’t find something that stands out or, as the properties meet your needs and fit your pocket.

When you start your search in reverse, that is, visiting and idealizing the largest and most luxurious houses, those that are often out of the budget of a first-time buyer, you run the risk of biasing against tiny houses or apartments. Your base of comparison will be that dream home that is not necessarily a good investment since buying it would mean a tremendous financial weight and not a step in the formation of your wealth.

Keep an eye on the mortgage you take

Keep-an-eye-on-the-mortgage-you-take

Buying a house or apartment through a mortgage loan is the best option, but paying it off before 15 years is ideal. Choosing to finance for a term of fewer than 30 years allows you to pay less interest in the financial institution. This is because the 15-year mortgage is not only much shorter (which means you will be paying more principal each month), but you will also have a lower interest rate.

Do not exceed 40% of your salary in the payment of a property.

Do-not-exceed-40-of-your-salary-in-the-payment-of-a-property

This is a good rule of thumb for financial health when buying a home or apartment. The first thing you should consider is the monthly payments of your existing doubts; then, you will have to add the monthly payment of a mortgage with a term of 15 years. If the total adds up to more than 40% of your monthly salary, then you are risking living on a tightrope, financially speaking, so you will have to reconsider or discard the purchase of that property.

If you exceed that percentage, we suggest you continue saving to buy that property or try to find properties with a lower price. Do not forget that there are expenses when buying a house or apartment that you must pay on your own even when you are granted a mortgage loan, for example, the deeds, the payment of taxes, the fees of the notary public and the real estate agent.

Furnish with the basics

Furnish-with-the-basics

Unless you buy a semi-furnished or fully furnished property, you will have to spend a good amount of money to purchase basic furniture and appliances.

One of the first things you will discover in the first days you spend in your new home is that it can look a bit empty and austere. The temptation to fill it as soon as possible will be latent. However, it is best to cover those gaps with second-hand or cheaper furniture. That way, you will meet your needs instantly, and you can update them eventually.

Doing this little by little will protect your pocketbook. Of course, avoid buying furniture on credit so as not to increase your debts and, much less, risk your savings or your emergency fund.

It is essential that you buy a house for the right reasons.

It-is-essential-that-you-buy-a-house-for-the-right-reasons

It is expected that if you reach a certain age, get married or have your first child, family or friends begin to ask you when you will buy a house. Social Pressure can be solid, and the assumptions of others can impact your choices. Make sure that it really is a personal desire and that you live the circumstances that make you feel secure about that vital acquisition.

To become the owner of your own home, you need to be financially and emotionally ready. Not only can home provide you with security and a sense of accomplishment, but it can also help you be financially successful.

Payment methods

Payment-methods

Define how much of what you have saved you can use, since banks or housing support institutions only lend on average up to 80% of the property’s value, so you must have that 20% previously to give the down payment and 5% more to cover the initial costs (appraisal, insurance, deeds, notary, the opening of credit, etc.).

The location

The-location

If you are going to invest in a property, look for you to have the communication channels or services that you require, such as education, health, shops, security, transportation, recreation and supply. Avoid risk areas! What’s the significance here, that the property isn’t under high voltage lines, gas tanks, underground pipelines, close to gorges or territories in danger of flooding?

Are-people-preferring-High-rise-constructions-over-plots

Are people preferring High rise constructions over plots?

In High rise constructions, The skyline of Pakistan’s major cities is currently one of modern high and medium buildings. The rapid demand and development of luxury residential towers and commercial skyscrapers essentially reflect the passing of the times when living in a separate house was considered a sign of prestige and honor. Are real estate in Pakistan changing from plots to tall buildings? let’s discuss it today.

Over time, the construction of mixed-use and residential buildings has increased dramatically in the metropolises. These skyscrapers and residential towers not only enhance the beauty of outdoor buildings throughout the city but also offer all the modern amenities and facilities.

If we delve deeper to find the cause of this change in real estate trends, we will find that there are many reasons behind this sharp demand for high developments in Pakistan. The first and most important reason is the rapid growth of the population in urban areas. The massive influx of people migrating from rural areas to urban centers has forced developers and investors to focus on construction. The lack of land and high prices are some of the key factors behind the real estate investment shift from plots to high and medium towers. The government has also taken strict steps to prevent the horizontal expansion of major cities to prevent any urban sprawl, which is yet another factor that has contributed to this trend.

Demand for Housing and Houses

Demand-for-Housing-and-Houses

If we look at the statistics of just the past two years, we can say that the demand for houses and apartments in Pakistan has grown en masse.

The rough analysis of the user records reflects the demand for plots in the Federal Capital Islamabad fell from 26% in 2018 to 21% in 2020. Over the same period, the demand for apartments is growing from 15% to 17%.

A similar pattern has been observed in other regions of the country as well. For example, if we look at Punjab’s statistics, the demand for plots has fallen to 20% in 2020 from 22% in 2018. However, the demand for apartments rose from 15% in 2018 to 17% in 2020.

Real estate in Sindh has also shown a more or less similar trend. Where the demand for plots decreases from 15% to 12% and demand for housing has increased from 23% to 25% over the course of two years.

Real estate trends in KPK have also shown a decrease in the demand for plots from 22% to 20% and an increase in the popularity of housing from 17% to 19%.

The Recent Trends of the Real Estate Market

The growing trend of high development in the country has attracted the attention of real estate investors as well as developers. At present, about 85% of newly launched projects consist of high-quality housing complexes, while the remaining 15% of the newly launched mixed-use and residential projects in major cities have plots for sale.

Considering the demand for apartments and houses, some of the most prestigious builders and apartments have started launching villas, town halls, marquees and apartments. Easy delivery plans have been introduced to attract more buyers.

Loans, Mortgages and Construction Financing

Loans-Mortgages-and-Construction-Financing

The government is also working to facilitate home loans for investors. Commercial banks have also been instructed to use 5% of their total lending to finance housing while the State Bank of Pakistan has also introduced steps to encourage construction financing to developers.

The government is trying to develop a mortgage financial structure in Pakistan. It has reduced the tax on bank income generated by cheap housing finance from 39% to 20%. This will serve as an incentive for banks to provide mortgage and home loans to middle and low-income earners.

Pakistan Naya Housing Program (NPHP) has also launched a plan for home loan purchases at lower markup.

Please note that we never recommend our readers to choose any funding option that implies an interest in any form.

How This Change In Real Estate Trend Affects The General Sector

How-This-Change-In-Real-Estate-Trend-Affects-The-General-Sector

The growing demand for high and medium construction is directly proportional to the construction activities in the real estate sector. This will result in generating more job opportunities and more economic growth for the country. This will also grow the trade of hundreds of industries associated with the construction sector.

Additionally, the development of high and medium buildings is a realistic solution to deal with urbanization with a smaller plot of land. Horizontal expansions of cities not only cause urban sprawl but also cause the disappearance of agricultural land, threatening natural resources and environmental peace. From that perspective, we can say that vertical expansion reduces these problems by a significant margin.

Another effect of the real estate investment trend of plots to high towers is that this practice allows investors to raise capital gains and enjoy rental income as opposed to plots.

However, Urbanization is still the biggest factor that has caused the vertical expansion of cities. The need to accommodate the massive influx of people in major metropolises has led the government and builders to choose tall buildings to serve the purpose.

Considering the aspects we discussed above, we can conclude that this shift from real estate trends from plots to medium and tall buildings will not only benefit the construction companies across the country but will also provide an affordable living option for people who want to settle in. urban cities. areas.

Are people preferring High rise constructions over plots?

In High rise constructions, The skyline of Pakistan’s major cities is currently one of modern high and medium buildings. The rapid demand and development of luxury residential towers and commercial skyscrapers essentially reflect the passing of the times when living in a separate house was considered a sign of prestige and honor.

Taiser Town Scheme 45 – Brief overview of History, Developments, and Future

Karachi Taiser Town Scheme is one of the most talked about buildings in the city today. Like many other regions in the vicinity of Karachi, Scheme 45 is also seeing rapid real estate development. The project has been stalled for quite some time, however healthy real estate activity in terms of business and development is evident now after the 2019 election. Today we will explore all about Scheme 45 Taiser Town and inform our readers about the latest developments in the area.

SCHEME 45 TAISER TOWN KARACHI

As we wrote earlier about Taiser Town, this project was started in 1986 by the Karachi Development Authority (KDA). Ten years later, in 1996, this project was handed over to the Malir Development Authority (MDA). After this project was submitted, MDA relaunched this project in 2005. Taiser Town is basically located in the northeastern part of the city. Upcoming well-known projects in this area include Gulshan-e-Maymar. Dreamworld Resort is another popular water park located in the same area. The project is planned to house about 2.5 million people with the area extending to about 21,000 acres. The housing structure was divided into two phases. Phase I will have nine sectors, and Phase II will have 30 sectors.

The Taiser Town Scheme 45 master plan was designed by The Engineering Consultants International Limited (ECIL). The design includes a wide range of facilities and amenities such as recreational avenues and parks for families. A total of 9,500 acres of the area has been earmarked for recreational facilities in the town. The housing association was planned so that it itself would be a small town. This means that the society will include all roads for commercial and recreational activities so that its residents do not have to travel far into the city to reach these facilities. One of the attractive features of the project includes the business district along Karachi North Bypass. This is one of the main routes in Karachi, which has a lot of potential for business opportunities as the route is well-connected and offers easy travel to residents.

Initially, the area was viewed slightly away from the city center. However, the city is rapidly developing and expanding which is leading Scheme 45 to fame and people are now looking to invest in this project.

SCHEME 45 TAISER CITY: STATE OF DEVELOPMENT

Taiser Town still receives NOCs from service companies. However, this should not be a critical aspect for investors, as many real estate experts have predicted that prices will rise in the coming years. Therefore, Taiser City Plan 33 will give a healthy return against medium-to-long-term investments.

Speaking of the development action, according to the official website of Scheme 45, the Taiser Town area will consist of the dedicated residential sector, commercial sector and mixed buildings. However, 10% of the total area of ​​the project will be reserved for parks, playgrounds and for other recreational activities. In addition, the project aims to provide the following facilities for 1000 apartments each:

  • schools
  • colleges
  • places of worship
  • library
  • Water treatment plant
  • hospitals
  • clinic
  • offices for useful departments
  • wedding halls
  • community centers
  • auditorium
  • bus station
  • local post office
  • dumps
  • fire stations
  • police stations
  • parking lots
  • markets
  • public toilets.

AVAILABLE EVAPS IN TAISER CITY

Buyers have a wide range of residential and commercial plots when it comes to investment options in Taiser Town. As we mentioned before, the project was classified into two phases. Phase I has relatively higher prices compared to Phase II. However, even phase I is quite affordable for many investors. For example, you can easily get a 120-square-foot plot in a range of PKR 6 to 8 lakh. The cost of 80 square meters is about PKR 4 to 5 lakes. In phase II, you can get plots even at a lower price.

Authorities on foot get water, electricity and other services from the housing society. All projects are leased by the government, but the MDA has put in place a proper procedure to obtain your property in the name of the buyer. This procedure should not take more than a month. Most sectors of phase I have assets available, as major development work has already ended there. However, in phase II, development work is still progressing and properties will be available in the future.

Phase I properties include residential plots of land of the following sizes:

  • 80 kv
  • 120 kv
  • 240 kv
  • 400 kv

These plots are available in old sectors. The voting of these plots took place in 2005. However, plots that were recently voted in 2019. are available only in 80 and 120 sq. M. Transfer fees for the plots in relation to size are as follows

  • Rs 5000 for 80 kv
  • Rs 6000 for 120 kv
  • Rs 12000 for 240 sq. Ft
  • Rs 16000 for 400 sq. Ft

In addition, authorities work with buyers to assist them in their respective construction plans. Every development for utilities like electricity, water and sanitation has been done. Since it is a government project, the government will provide service connections only after people settle here.

Despite the fact that ownership is available, people are not yet building here. The authorities are trying to entice buyers and investors to invest here given the fact that prices are still relatively low.

As we reported earlier, the overall demand for real estate in Karachi has almost doubled during 2018-2020. The plots saw a 49% increase in demand and demand for houses drastically increased to 103%. Meanwhile, housing demand grew by almost 120%.

The increase in demand is directly proportional to prices. This means that the increase in demand raises prices. We are also seeing this in the real estate sector. The average prices of various sizes of houses have seen the following increases.

  • 120 square prices rose by 35%
  • 240 square prices rose by 17%
  • 400 sq yd and up by 13%

The prices for plots also showed a similar pattern. The jump in market prices for plots is as follows:

  • 120 square yards increased 14%
  • 240 kv. Yd up 15%
  • 400 and up by 22%

These figures essentially reflect the fact that the demand and value of residential houses in the city are growing dramatically. It also indicates the importance of affordable societies like Taiser Town, where investors can earn a good profit in a short time. Moreover, people can also consider this option for living purposes with a minimum budget.

About Gutters: What You Need to Know

Gutters are often the most ignored parts of a rental house. Although they have simple designs, they help protect your property from any major water damage. So, with this important work, it is best to learn more about drains and how this system affects your house.

Basically, drains collect rain from the roof. Whenever it rains, the water rolls down the slope from the roof to the gutters. Like the rainwater pools, it travels through the drainage system from your rental home to your downstream, which carries water from the drains to the base of your property. Typically it is deflected to protect your foundation and basement from flooding and other water damage.

Drains Vary In Materials

Drains-Vary-In-Materials

Whether you are planning to install a new drain system or replace your current drains, one of the things you need to know is that drains have a variety of materials.

Some of the popular materials of which most drains are made of vinyl, copper, steel and PVC. Cast iron gutter is also a common option nowadays due to its affordability and durability.

To make the best decision on which materials are a good choice for you, you need to explore their pros and cons. This way you can make a well-informed decision about what kind you need to install in your rental property that would best serve your tenants. If you are still confused with the options available, never hesitate to ask for professional help.

 

Cleaning Your Flute is Important

Cleaning-Your-Flute-is-Important.

No matter what your cleaning time is each season, cleaning your playground’s drain system should be one of your priorities. Don’t just rely on your tenants ’schedule or initiative to clean it up. Remember that keeping dirt or debris away from your drains is important to protect the structure of your property and prevent costly nuisances in the future.

There are other reasons why it is necessary to clean drains, especially if you own rentals. These include the following:

  • Reduce The Risk Of Cracked Foundation:

    If you have clogged gutters, the water can build up around the foundation of your home, which can crack your foundation after it freezes and expands during the winter season. As a wolf owner, you don’t want something like this to happen because that would mean significant repair costs.

  • Save the Plagues:

    Clogged street gutters with leaves can be a desirable home for birds, rodents and insects. If you want to keep the pests at bay to prevent them from damaging other areas of your rental, make sure your drains stay clean.

  • Protect Your Precious Roof:

    When rainwater continues to flood, it can leave a leaky or rotten roof. Once your roof has suffered water damage, it may cost you a lot to repair it. So, if you don’t want to spend more for roof repair because your tenants have failed to take care of your drains regularly, be sure to include them in your cleaning routine.

  • Prevent Water Damage:

    Once your showers and drains are blocked with debris and leaves, rainwater may not be properly suited. As the water overflows from the drains, it can result in water damage both outside and inside of your rental property.

  • Save Money:

    Rain and runoff can help prevent costly and unexpected roof or runoff repair services. Taking some preventative measures can help reduce the likelihood of having to replace or repair your roof.

  • Protect the value of your rental property:

    Drains are one of the parts of your rental home that will enhance the aesthetics of your property as they are easily visible. Poorly maintained drains can fall off, and the overflow can stain fascia boards. Such problems can diminish the integrity of your structure. In addition, clogged drains can decrease the rental price you can charge for your property. They will also cause problems if you intend to sell the house in the future.

Considering that reason, it’s important to clean your drains. Repairing them will improve how the roof looks, improving the potential rental prices of your rental home, overall value and brake appeal.

 

Should You Hire or Hire Professional Gutter Cleaners?

Should-You-Hire-or-Hire-Professional-Gutter-Cleaners

Because cleaning drains is a simple task and can be a part of anyone’s home care checklist, it is also a good idea to do it on your own, which can let you enjoy savings. However, if you have a busy lifestyle and hectic schedules like most wolf owners or investors, it would be best to hire professional street doctors.

The best thing about hiring experts is that they have the proper equipment and tools to properly clean your drains. They also have the knowledge and expertise to provide proper care and maintenance for drains. So, if you have extra money for your budget, it is worth spending on professional solutions.

 

Conclusion

Gutters are essential as they protect any house from water damage and rain. Without a good drainage system, rainwater will collect in your roof, which can cause mold, deterioration or rot. It will weaken the shingles, fascia and ceiling. So make sure you choose the best drain system suitable for your rental property. Don’t forget to provide proper care and maintenance to extend its lifespan and better serve current and future tenants.

Real-Estate-Investment-on-Installments-vs-Cash-in-Pakistan

Real Estate Investment on Installments vs Cash in Pakistan

Real Estate Investments on Paying Against Money in Pakistan

Real estate investments transferred and real estate for sale with cash are the two options available to you when you plan to invest in real estate in Pakistan.

We can further classify these two options as below:

  1. Possession plots about money.
  2. Possession plots of money.
  3. Ownership Plots in payments.
  4. Real estate built with money.
  5. Buildable buildings (houses, apartments, shops) in installments.

Generally buying real estate is a facility for those who cannot afford the prices upfront. However, if you plan to invest, you can use it as well as leverage and invest small amounts to get huge income. So even if you have the money available with you, it may be better to invest smartly and pay in installments.

Fees against Monetary Investments

Fees-against-Monetary-Investments

Before we proceed with the case study, we must first understand the general advantages and disadvantages of cash versus real estate.

Advantages of cash against real estate investments in arrears

  1. The first is obvious, you can buy a property even if you don’t have the full payment, thus making it easier for you to save and pay as you go.
  2. You get taxed because real estate prices go up over the entire property and not just for what you paid.
  3. It usually offers more flexibility, as you can buy more properties with the same money and then liquidate them in part at a profit.
  4. Buildable buildings (Houses, Dwellings) in parts are usually available at a price less than or equal to similar owned real estate.
  5. You can take advantage of Dollar appreciation if it occurs during that time period.

Disadvantage of cash against real estate arrears

  1. Plots in installments may be a little more expensive than in cash. Usually, plot payments cost 10 to 20% more than buying a similar property in cash.
  2. Buying cash-owned property is safer than investing in property in installments, which is yet to be developed.

The comparison

The-comparison

If you do not have the money, obviously it is your choice, all you have to do is buy a property after the payment. However, if money doesn’t limit you, it’s time to evaluate all the options to find what works best for you.

Possession plots on Cash

Possession-plots-on-Cash

When you have money, you can certainly find many opportunities waiting for you in the market. You can also take full advantage of speculative trading and enjoy the market spikes as recently seen in 2020-21 in DHA Lahore.

However, you will not always succeed and some losses are always on the horizon. Buying a plot in a mature area that has already reached its full potential is like putting your money into a gutter.

Landless plots for money

Landles-plots-for-money

Buying an indispensable property is not very economical as such. The thing is usually that most developers will only offer a 10% discount on cash payments. This is much less in my opinion and it is much better to pay delivery in a period of 3 years than to buy it in cash. Obviously, if the delivery period is less or about a year then it makes sense but not otherwise.

Plots on Episodes

Plots-on-Episodes

There are various ways you can take advantage of buying plots for free. You can improve your position and invest a lot. As well as speculative trading, you need to form a plan to include:

  1. Expected appreciation of the plots in the near future.
  2. How long can you keep the real estate without draining all your money?
  3. Terrible sales planning for profit/reward.
  4. Failure plan if your plan does not work.

Everything seems good, yet a problem with such investment is that in underdeveloped societies takes a decade or more to fully develop. However, if you are a smart investor, you may be taking advantage of investment / speculative bubbles within this period.

Real estate built with money

Real-estate-built-with-money

This is always a good option to get a mature property to generate solid cash flows. Rental income in my opinion is the mother of all real estate in Pakistan and in the world. However, many people cannot do it due to financial constraints, as built profits are usually more expensive. That is why speculative investments in plots continue to remain the most popular real estate investment in Pakistan.

However popular does not mean success either. The success rate of people who have invested in rental income-generating real estate exceeds that of those who have invested in plots.

Buildable real estate in installments

Buildable-real-estate-at-installments

In addition to just buying plots, you can also invest in construction projects for payments. These include houses, shops, apartments, etc. Such investments have some additional advantages such as:

  1. Residences, houses or shopping malls are usually made in places already mature. So technically you are investing in an already mature asset.
  2. The maturity of a construction project is usually less than that of complete social development. It takes between 3 and 6 years for a construction project to fully develop and mature, which is much better than a society that will last more than a decade.
  3. The price of real estate is gradually increasing according to a fixed pattern as the construction progresses. It’s easier to plan and profit from an outing.
  4. The product of your investment is an asset that can be rented out and used to increase your passive income.

The only major drawback I see in this type of investment is that sales are usually slow compared to plots. This is due to the fact that these are usually end-users after a natural gain and do not serve the purpose of part-time investors looking for speculative bubbles. However, this aspect is also improving as the construction trend continues to grow across Pakistan and investors are getting more and more engaged.

The winner won a chicken dinner

Winner-won-a-chicken-dinner

The winner in my opinion is construction projects in installments followed by rental income-producing real estate in cash. The thing is, real estate adds capital gain in access by about 50% during its construction. In addition, the end result will produce a property that generates cash flow as opposed to plots and you will not fail to raise money as so many people did between 2016 and 2020 who invested in plots.

The past has taught us one thing, conspiracy investments in Pakistan have long periods of zero to negative growth. If you get stuck in one, you’ll have to wait half a decade before you can even think about liquidating your asset.

The secret to our success is the loyalty and trust we share with our investors, we win when you win.
