Pertimbangan Memilih Jasa Arsitek

Pertimbangan Memilih Jasa Arsitek

Pemilihan seorang arsitek yang baik itu tidaklah mudah dan tidak segampang seperti yang kita pikirkan dan kita kira, karena banyak hal yang penting yang harus kita pikirkan saat memilih arsitek atau konsultan arsitek untuk rumah impian Anda, berikut tulisan yang saya kutip dari website IAI (Ikatan Arsitek Indonesia) :

Pengenalan

Dalam proses awal, maka ada beberapa panduan ringkas yang bisa Anda jalankan sebagai tahap pengenalan akan tingkat kemampuan dan kualitas calon arsitek Anda:

1. Arsitek Profesional IAI dilengkapi dengan Sertifikat Ke-Ahlian (SKA) yang diberikan dan diperpanjang dengan syarat-syarat yang ketat. SKA yang dikeluarkan oleh IAI tidak bisa dibeli sembarangan hanya karena uang, karena pada setiap pengajuannya setiap arsitek wajib memenuhi persyaratan-persyaratan yang sesuai dengan standar kompetensi Internasional (untuk SKA Utama) dan Nasional (untuk SKA Madya dan Pratama). Setiap arsitek yang memiliki SKA IAI, sangat terikat dengan kode etik keprofesian organisasi IAI. Anda bisa meminta kepada calon arsitek anda untuk menunjukkan bukti SKA yang mereka miliki.

2. Anda dapat meminta contoh-contoh proyek yang pernah mereka tangani, dengan mengharapkan penjelasan yang lebih rinci tentang proyek-proyek itu secara mendetail untuk membuktikan keterlibatan mereka dan kesuksesan proyek tersebut.

Pemilihan

Dalam proses memilih dan menyaring dari beberapa daftar calon konsultan arsitek, Anda dapat memberikan pertanyaan-pertanyaan dasar yang bisa memberikan Anda kepastian tentang komitmen sang calon arsitek dalam melihat prioritas proyek Anda dalam agenda kerjanya.

1. Apa yang paling penting untuk dibahas dan dipertimbangkan dalam proyek Anda menurut sang Arsitek?

2. Apa tantangan dari proyek ini?

3. Bagaimana sang Arsitek akan mengumpulkan informasi mengenai proyek ini?

4. Siapakah dalam firma/biro mereka yang akan menjadi penghubung Anda? Apakah orang yang sama dengan yang mendesain? Siapakah yang akan mendesain?

5. Seberapa tertariknya sang Arsitek dalam proyek ini?

6. Seberapa sibuknya sang Arsitek saat ini?

7. Apa yang membedakan sang Arsitek ini dengan yang lain?

8. Bagaimana sang Arsitek menetapkan standar biaya jasanya?

Penentuan

Dalam menentukan arsitek yang tepat bagi proyek Anda, maka Anda harus mempertimbangkan bahwa nilai biaya jasa yang paling murah bukanlah segalanya. Pekerjaan keprofesian arsitek adalah mengenai pemberian pelayanan yang paling maksimal sesuai dengan standar minimal keprofesian yang harus diberikan oleh sang Arsitek dalam proyek Anda.

Batas-batas pekerjaan konsultan arsitek harus dibahas secara jelas pada awal perjanjian kerja sama agar terhindar kesalahpahaman profesi dan/atau kekeliruan spesifikasi pekerjaan.

Para pengguna jasa dan arsitek yang digunakannya harus dapat saling memahami lebih dulu tentang rencana dan rancangan yang dikehendaki oleh kedua pihak, agar pada pelaksanaannya dapat terhindar biaya berlebihan karena kesalahan konstruksi atau misinterpretasi desain.desain rumah minimalis online Oleh karena itu, para pengguna jasa harus dapat menemukan calon Arsitek yang dapat berkomunikasi dengannya secara baik dan dapat memahami keinginannya.
Nah setelah membaca hal di atas bagaimana dengan kalian ? sudah cukupkah pengetahuan mengenai pemilihan seorang arsitek untuk rumah impian Anda ? saya yakin sudah cukup karena IAI adalah sumber dan panduan untuk pemilih konsultan arsitek / arsitek profesional.

Terapkan Arsitek Hijau Untuk Jaga Bumi

Bumi kita semakin hari semakin tidak ramah baik itu dari udara, lingkungan dan hawa yang biasanya kita hirup di pagi hari yang dulu terasa menyegarkan kini tidak terasa menyegarkan lagi karena begitu banyak jumlah kendaraan bermotor dan banyak bangunan gedung bertingkat yang tidak lagi memperhatikan lingkungan sekitar baik dalam arsitek design, desain interior, desain eksterior dan hal lainnya.

Lalu bagaimana bentuk dan arsitek design dari bangunan atau gedung yang baik dan ramah lingkungan ? saya coba untuk menuliskannya walaupun saya orang awam, berikut kiatnya yang di berikan oleh konsultan arsitek :

Arsitek Design

Bentuk arsitek design bangunan yang baik dan ramah lingkungan adalah bangunan yang memperhatikan lingkungan sekitarnya seperti membuat taman di lingkungan rumah dan gedung selain itu kurangi jumlah penggunaan kaca pada rumah atau bangunan gedung kantor.

Desain Interior

Untuk desain interior sebaiknya kita menggunakan interior yang ramah lingkungan dan mengurangi pengunaan listrik yang sangat berlebihan, selain itu gunakan bahan bahan seperti kayu, dan kurangin penggunaan kaca dan lampu atau interior lainnya yang menggandung bahan kaca.

Desain Eksterior

Penggunaan bahan bahan bangunan yang berbahaya sebaiknya di hindarkan dan gantilah dengan bahan yang ramah dengan lingkungan.desain rumah minimalis online Perbanyak taman hijau dan taman yang memang di butuhkan untuk mengatur keseimbang lingkungan sekitar.

Tempat Sampah

Selalu sediakan tempat sampah yang dapat memuat sampah organik dan anorganik, agar kita tidak membuang sampah sembarangan.
Demikian tips dan kiat untuk menciptakan ruang hijau di rumah atau gedung.

Gaya Hidup Dapat Ditentukan dari Lantai Rumah

Gaya Hidup Dapat Ditentukan dari Lantai Rumah


Lantai dapat membangun tampilan, perasaan dan suasana tertentu pada sebuah ruangan. Untuk itu sangat penting untuk menentukan pilihan lantai pada sebuah ruangan.

Sebelum menentukan lantai apa yang cocok dengan ruangan-ruangan di rumah, ada baiknya mengetahui empat tips berikut dalam memilih lantai.

Gaya Hidup
Pemilihan lantai bisa bergantung pada gaya hidup sebuah keluarga atau juga bisa meminta bantuan kepada konsultan arsitek untuk membantu Anda dalam mencarikan lantai yang tepat. Jika keluarga Anda termasuk keluarga yang super sibuk di rumah dengan anak dan binatang peliharaan yang sangat aktif, maka lantai dengan karpet sangat tidak ideal. Lantai yang pas untuk keluarga seperti ini adalah lantai yang terbuat dari keramik, vinil atau kayu.

Sedangkan jika keluarga Anda super sibuk di luar rumah, maka Anda bisa menikmati kelembutan karpet di kaki. Paduan kayu dengan karpet akan membuat ruangan dirumah terasa lebih nyaman.

Lokasi Lantai
Beda ruangan, beda pula lantai yang digunakan. Pada pintu masuk rumah dan garasi sebaiknya menggunakan lantai yang memiliki daya tahan yang tinggi. Lantai dari batu adalah pilihan yang tepat. Jangan lupa memberikan keset di pintu masuk untuk mencegah masuknya air dan kotoran dari luar ruangan, sehingga membantu Anda menjaga lantai teteap bersih.

Untuk kamar tidur, sebaiknya gunakan lantai yang nyaman untuk kaki telanjang. Karpet bisa menjadi pilihan yang tepat jika Anda memang mencari kenyamanan berjalan dengan telanjang kaki.

Ruangan yang sering terkena air seperti ruang mencuci dan kamar mandi sebaiknya menggunakan lantai yang tahan air. Kayu sangat tidak dianjurkan pada ruangan ini karena akan mudah hancur.

Biaya
Setiap lantai memiliki harga yang berbeda-beda tergantung kualitasnya. Misalnya saja karpet sintesis. Harganya lebih murah daripada karpet berber.desain rumah minimalis online Perhatikan pad pada karpet sebelum membelinya karena pad karpet ini dapat membuat langkah Anda semakin nyaman dan membuat karpet lebih awet.

Pengunaan lantai marmer lebih mahal daripada karpet. Namun perawatan marmer lebih mudah dibandingkan karpet. Pilihlah bahan lantai ini secara bijaksana sesuai dengan dana yang Anda miliki, jika Anda masih bingung dan belum tau biaya yang ingin keluarkan sebaiknya mintalah jasa konsultan arsitek untuk membantu Anda dalam membantu dalam menyusun anggaran biaya yang tepat di kantong Anda.

Ciptakan Karakter Warna Rumah Yang Ceria

Ciptakan Karakter Warna Rumah Yang Ceria

Fasad atau tampak muka bangunan umumnya memiliki ciri khas dan berkarakter. Tidak hanya dari bentuknya, tetapi mulai dari material, tekstur sampai dengan pemilihan warna. Bentuk fasad bangunan bisa menyesuaikan dengan tren pada masanya. Begitu juga tren dapat mempengaruhi pemilihan warna yang tepat. Hal ini menjadi unsur utama dalam menghasikan totalitas suatu desain. Pemilihan warna yang tepat bisa memperindah desain suatu fasad bangunan. Mengingat setiap warna pada fasad menghasilkan passion dari suatu bangunan. Maka dari itu warna dapat mempunyai daya tarik tersendiri dan mempengaruhi secara psikologis pada diri manusia. Hadirnya kesan dan suasana sebuah desain baik atau buruk sangat tergantung pada pilihan warna yang tepat. Dengan adanya kesamaan unsur warna, komposisi antarwarna yang tepat, dan kejelian dalam memadukan jenis warna, akan menghasilkan suatu fasad yang indah, harmonis, dan enak dipandang. Dengan mempertimbangkan iklim sekitar, dan juga karakter daerah lingkungan fasad bangunan itu berada, maka ekspresi fasad akibat pemberian warna sangat memberikan dampak yang sangat berarti. Hal-hal yang harus diperhatikan dengan teliti :

1. Pengaruh warna pada fasad dapat menimbulkan berbagai macam kesan bangunan, sebagai contoh warna dengan karakteris lembut, nyaman, menarik dan romantis, seperti abu-abu, pink, orange, ungu.

2. Warna dengan karakteristik memberikan kesan tenang dan damai bisa menciptakan kesan yang sejuk pada lingkungan sekitar, yaitu adanya perpaduan warna hijau dan biru tua.

3. Warna dengan karakteristik individual dan berani, yaitu warna merah termasuk dalam kategori ini, warna ini memiliki karakter yang berani, energi yang sangat tinggi, memberikan suatu kesan vitalitas yang tinggi, dan dapat memberikan kesan kepribadian yang kuat.

4. Warna dengan karakteristik warna ceria, yaitu warna kuning, warna ini merupakan warna terang yang memberikan kesan ceria dan hangat.desain rumah minimalis online Untuk menyeimbangi warna tersebut pada fasade bangunan dapat menggunakan warna putih atau krem.
5. Warna dengan karakteristik ringan, bebas, dan mudah, yaitu warna putih, atau warna alami (seperti warna kayu) , warna ini adalah warna netral yang bisa difungsikan untuk mengkombinasikan berbagai karakteristik warna, sehingga banyak sekali fasad bangunan yang memakai warna putih. Karakter yang terdapat pada warna putih adalah netral dan dapat memberi suasana ketenangan dan mengandung arti spiritual tersendiri. Banyak sekali bangunan publik menggunakan warna ini baik sebagai warna untuk fasad bangunan (eksterior) maupun sebagai kombinasi warna untuk interior dalam bangunan.

How you dress your windows also effects your French country style home décor look.

How To Turn Your Guest Room Into A Tuscan Retreat

By Lee Dobbins

Your guest room is a place to make your guests feel welcome and what better way then to add some sunny and warm Tuscan decor!

Regardless of your budget you can get the look of Tuscany in your guest room by making a few changes such as wallpapering and coordinating your bedding and pillows to give the room a look of old Italy. A budget remake can encompass simple changes to accessories while a top notch remodel can include alterations to lighting fixtures, flooring, wall coverings and decorative accessories as well as new bed and bureaus.

Great lighting is a must in most rooms and the guest room is no exception. To enhance your Tuscan home décor theme, you might want to keep in mind the style of light fixtures as well as the type of light. Most guest rooms can make good use of night stand lamps in addition to overhead lighting. When you are decorating with a Tuscan style, try installing rustic ceiling fixtures with alabaster wall sconces and avoid any lighting that is too modern or shiny like chrome or stainless steel.

The flooring can make a big difference, but if it costs too much for new floors for your guest room then work with what you have by covering them with area rugs that have a Tuscan look. If new floors are in your budget, consider using aged hardwood floors or Italian tile or marble.

Decorative items are vital to pulling your Tuscan home décor design together. You can even totally alter the appearance of your room by simply changing the accessories! Concentrate on choosing bedding, pillows and artwork, in colors that compliment your Tuscan design. You'll be amazed at how easy and inexpensive it is, and what a huge difference these changes make! Make sure to incorporate plenty of antiques in conjunction with majolica pottery which can be purchased either new or old. You could even try some country wooden items mixed in with a few shabby chic crystal accessories with drippy prisms to get a professional look for your guest room. Extra touches like lots of silk flowers and plants can help give your room a picture perfect designer appeal.

One thing to keep in mind when decorating your guest room with a Tuscan home décor theme is your wall color. For this design style the colors are important - consider using golden mustard yellow and earthtones as a paint color. Try using a faux plaster with an aged patina on the walls, or use faux painted walls that look antique and resemble old cracked plaster. You don't have to get too fancy or spend a lot of money and if you are afraid of too much color, simply paint the walls a neutral shade and play up the color with accents.

It's not necessary to have a coordinating bed, bureau, and side table but the guest room should have plenty of antique or reproduction furniture. To really compliment the Tuscan theme, bring in furniture that has a hand painted or antique finish.

What you put on your windows can enhance your Tuscan home décor theme. There are a variety of window treatments that go great with this style, particularly if you use coordinating fabrics, but be sure to avoid anything too cutsey or frilly. To get a nice look in your guest room you should try using panel drapes or sheers.

One vital area that is frequently overlooked when decorating your room is the wall space. Any wall can look wonderful with great accessories and wall art.desain rumah minimalis online Try adding antique paintings or perhaps a wall mural of a Tuscan country side to your guest room walls to enhance the warmth of your Tuscan decorating style. An interesting addition could be a mural of a small vignette or nook with an Italian flair.

Achieving a great Tuscan look in your guest room doesn’t have to be difficult if you pay attention to detail and match your accessories and furniture. You may find that you’ve done such a great job with your Tuscan home décor that your guests don’t want to leave!

George and Martha Washington Lamps - A History

By Jim Hoyle

Sorry, but these lamps really have little to do with George and Martha Washington except for their fashion of clothing and dress.

Most George and Martha Washington lamps were made of porcelain circa 1940. They were commonly made with real 22 K gold trim. Try as much as you like but you can never duplicate the gold color trim used in these beautiful porcelain lamps unless you use real gold.

Although commonly called George and Martha Washington lamps, the decorative figures adorning these porcelain lamps actually represent wealthy members of the court of French King Louis XV around 1765.

The decorative figures are usually in various states of romance, picnics,dancing, poetry, singing, etc. The original paintings on many of these lamps were originally from the French artist Jean- Honoré Fragonard (1732-1806). Fragonard was well known for his very lewd and hedonistic art that was highly sought after by wealthy art patrons of Louis XV's morally loose and fun loving court. George and Martha lamp decorations represent Fragonard's much more reserved paintings.

George and Martha Washington lamps are no longer being produced and the value of these vintage lamps continue to rise.

George Washington lived from 1732- 1799 so he was alive when the original designs were created for these beautiful lamps in France.desain rumah minimalis online

In 1775, the Continental Congress appointed Washington commander-in-chief of the American revolutionary forces. He was later elected president in 1789 but George and Martha Washington had nothing to do with these lamps except they both had a similar fashion of dressing which was also common in France during that period.

Torchere Glass Lamp Shade Replacement Types

By Jim Hoyle

There is hardly any more confusion in the lighting industry than how to select a replacement glass shade for a torchiere lamp.

First let us define a torchiere lamp. A torchiere lamp is any table or floor lamp whose light is directed upward by means of a glass, metal, stone, plastic or other type of reflector. These lamps take many forms and are made of many materials but most commonly made as floor lamps.

The word "Torchiere" is derived from the French word "Torche" torch.

These popular lamps provide excellent area lighting because they bounce light off the ceiling and diffuse it throughout a large area of the room.

There are four (4) basic types of torchiere glass.

1) Dish type torchiere glass (most common) is a dish or bowl shape glass shade with a 1 5/8" wide center hole that simply slips down over the electrical socket and rests upon a metal or plastic holder. There is a threaded ring which screws down over the electrical socket to hold the glass in place. This type torchiere glass is usually frosted white, beige or plain white.

2) Reflector waffle pattern opal white torchiere glass is a cone shape glass shade available in two (2) common sizes: 2.75" fitter that is 10" wide and the other is a 2.25" fitter that is 8" wide. This torchiere glass usually has a waffle type pattern pressed into the surface of the glass although there are some with no pattern in the glass. These torchiere glass shades were very popular in the 1920's and 1930's and were found on many 6 way floor lamps that had 3 arm lights plus a center light. They are also available on some modern lamps as well as some floor lamps without arms. Many of these lamps are designed for a fabric lamp shade to rest upon the reflector glass. This arrangement not only provides excellent area lighting but also excellent reading light.

3) Long neck torchiere glass is a larger glass, usually around 13-16" wide with a long neck that fits down inside a 2.75 - 3"" wide holder. This glass shade has the appearance of a very wide funnel with neck. These are the most expensive type of torchiere glass shades.

4) Stiffel replacement torchiere glass is made specifically to fit lamps from this lamp maker.

If you need further help selecting the correct torchiere glass for your lamp, be sure to contact a professional full service lamp company with lots of experience with torchiere lamps.

Good luck on all your lighting projects.

Drum Lamp Shade - What is it?

By Jim Hoyle

The answer to that question use to be very simple. But today, we are stretching the definition. Traditionally these lamp shades are similar to a cylinder with fairly straight sides. Just think of an oil barrel!

However, today drum lamp shades take on many variations of form and design. You will find modified versions which have a relatively narrower top diameter. There are bell shape versions with graceful curving sides. There are V shaped notch designs in the top and/or bottom rims. There are shallow shades which are short and stocky in appearance, also called Bouillotte lamp shades.

Drum lamp shades are very functional because they not only diffuse light outward through the shade fabric, they also reflect light downward and upward where it can diffuse of the ceiling.

Generally, these lamp shades are relatively larger compared to others which allows the usage of larger wattage bulbs and therefore more light output.

Drum lamp shades were extremely popular from the early 20th century up through the 1980's when they fell out of favor. Today they are becoming extremely popular and they are "new again". Nearly all home design magazines are filled with drum shades. You will see them being used throughout all rooms of the house.

Although there are plenty of options, here are some lamps that simply "cry out" for drum shades:

Hollywood Regency Lamps

Stiffel Lamps and Lamps With The Stiffel Look

Antique Ornate Metal Lamps

Antique Crystal Lamps

Antique Porcelain Lamps

Antique Capodimonte Lamps

George and Martha Washington Lamps

Antique Lamps Circa 1950 - 1980

New Reproduction Lamps of all styles listed above and many others

In summary, most lamp styles can be used with a drum lamp shade.desain rumah minimalis online It depends a lot on personal preference and the look you wish to achieve with the lamp.

Good luck on your next lamp shade project.

Designing Your Own Home With Software

Designing your own home with software can be quite simple. Today’s advanced home design software can allow you to design every element of your home from your own computer, without advanced architecture training! Home design software allows you to plan your home from start to finish so that the end result is something that you can be proud of.

Buying the Software

Picking out the software should be based on user friendliness, read reviews before buying and keep in mind cheaper is not always the best value. If you have to pay a little more for software that comes with some type of tech support that may be an option worth looking into. There are plenty of options on the market that range from $99-$500 or more. There are some free versions of this type of software online – but they typically don’t have as many features as other types of software suites that you can purchase.

Considerations

Before you begin designing your own home with software, consider the needs of your family or your future family. How many bedrooms will be needed? How big will the rooms be? How many square feet can realistically be afforded? Is there a need for a formal dining area? How many bathrooms? These considerations seem rather elementary but they absolutely have to be addressed. Designing your own home with software may leave the home with five bedrooms and one bathroom. So, much consideration will have to go into the needs of the occupants of the home before the design can begin. Buy a notebook to jot down consideration, ideas, budget and research. It is harder to ignore something if it is in writing.

Budget

Budget is a huge factor of the design element. Designing your own home with software makes it easy to get carried away with wants. Pre determine the cost of square footage built. Talk to builders in the area to get a general average of what it cost per square foot so that when the design phase begins determinations can be made about needs and wants and where the money can be spent. Designing your own home only to find out you cannot afford what you designed is best avoided, better to be realistic from the start and stick to a budget.

Research

Get inspiration and ideas from homes that are in the area. Look at design magazines, search the world wide web to gather ideas and inspiration.desain rumah minimalis online Most design software comes with the ability to place furnishings and appliances in a space to give a more realistic idea of what a given space can and cannot support. Visit with friends, neighbors and relatives to check out spaces. Visit design schools in the area if there are any available. Taking a class at a community college would also be a step in the right direction.

Begin the Design

Once all the research is complete and the vision is in place starting the design will be the fun part of the process. Gather all of your information to include your notebook. Follow the directions that came with your software and beginning designing your own home from software.

Filing a homeowners insurance claim

The least pleasant and most stressful moments of home insurance is of course filing a claim. Insurance companies are rarely happy to receive a claim from their customers, although it their direct job to handle these things. And most people, especially when having and insurance situation for the first time, are quite nervous about contacting the company. To make it a bit easier both for you and your insurer, here are some steps to follow in order to file a claim and get all the benefits of your policy when they're needed.

1. Inform your company about filing the claim as soon as possible. Contact your insurance agent to discuss any damage that you think your insurance policy should cover. This is the person that will help you with information and advice on how to proceed according to the coverage your policy delivers. It's better to have all the information regarding your policy and your agent's contact information somewhere outside your home (in the wallet for example). It is also recommended to record all your conversations with the agent to have a reference if needed.

2. Evaluate and document the overall damage to your property for the claim. The best way to do that is to have a digital video or photo camera to record all the damage along with comments and documentation immediately after the property was subjected to any influence. Keep these recordings and documents available when needed, having multiple copies will also be handy.

3. Make intermediate repairs before your policy kicks in. You have the responsibility for your property after the damage and should prevent it from getting even worse. If there's a leak in the roof, try stopping it in order to avoid getting your house flooded. Remember to store all the receipts from the store when buying repair supplies, but keep the expenses reasonable in order to avoid reimbursement denial from the insurance company.

4. List all the items on your property you think are missing or damaged. Ask your family for help, inspecting one room after another and listing all the items that are damaged. It is very important when you have replacement cost coverage, because all of the damaged items will be replaced by new ones even if the old ones were much cheaper in value. Having an inventory list of your property before the damage done will be very helpful for processing the claim so take your time to do that after taking even a cheap home insurance policy.

5. Be patient. In case the damage was caused by a natural disaster with the whole area being affected it may take a longer time for you to get coverage, because those with more serious damage are likely to be covered first. Keep track of what is going on with your claim and speak to your insurance agent from time to time.jasa arsitek desain rumah minimalis In case you suspect that your insurance claim is not processed properly and laid off, even if it's cheap home insurance, you should contact your state insurance department with a complaint. This is especially important if the damage to your house makes it impossible to live in it.

Hints on insuring homes in unfavorable areas

Houses in dark spot areas and insurance rules basics
If your surroundings are not too promising in terms of weather conditions when the wind is practically blowing in your ear all the time and raindrops keep falling down on your rooftop there is a very good chance that you might have to pay extra for your house insurance. England is famous for its rains and floods that have taken over the country lately have ended up costing millions and millions of pounds in claims. This fact, of course, could not be ignored by the insurance companies that have already stated that premiums will be raised not only in England but all around UK as well.
New statistics on house insurance have shown that over 90% of insurers guarantee that the premiums in flood-prone zones will be significantly higher if authorities do not begin the flood-protecting process in the nearest future. According to some other researches if this actually takes place, insurance companies may raise the premiums despite of the area and it will create a fuss on the insurance market. Those who live in flood-free zones are not likely to receive any benefits even if it makes sense to do so.
Insurers nowadays like to blame everything on the authorities. They defend their heart-breaking prices by telling the world that the Government doesn't want to commit to the flood-protection plan enough to help citizens get rid of the problem that can ruin their home and lives. The Government says that they are taking it step by step in order to offer the citizens a good flood-protection program.
Here are some of the notes you might want to take:
Don't give in to it...
If you don't know exactly if your zone is considered a "black spot" by house insurers or if you are planning on buying a new house and you can't choose the right are, you should be able to check the Environment Agency webpage and get your answer. But this information can be confidential so don't expect to receive all the details this easily. But you can always check it with the house insurers because they should be competent enough to answer any questions related to homes.
Get steady
Weather is something you can't predict or control. You can save yourself from a risk by getting a flat in a flood-free area but even there you don't know what might happen. Disaster proofing is a perfect solution for those who are afraid of home damage or any other sort of catastrophe that has nothing to do with a person. If your zone is rainy and windy, install windows that will guarantee you maximum protection. You have to make sure you do enough to prevent any damage.
Get yourself covered twice
It is not easy to find a good solution. Cheap home insurance is not something you can find with a clap of your hands. But the one that seeks will find. If you don't feel like you are protected enough with your coverage, get yourself another one.jasa arsitek desain rumah minimalis One is always better than none and two is always better than one. You can get a cheap home insurance with the company that you already deal with if you have your car insured or health insurance, for example. This could definitely help your premiums. But it is always best to shop around and look for other offers as you never know what you may find. And remember to read quotes - they are important too.
