What’s All the Fuss About?

If you are looking for an affordable way to begin building your own home, consider Opleiding. Using the plans provided by the manufacturer, you can build a one-story home in a weekend or two, a small cottage on a shoestring budget.

A kit is full of detailed instructions, which provide you with complete assembly and finishing instructions. You can be up and running in a week, even on a tight budget. All you need is a level lot with good drainage, a house and a good contractor to put the house together.

Opleiding kits use simple and economical traditional lumber framing and slabs. They can be built in standard or custom sizes. Most kits include blueprints and construction drawings, along with lots of pictures of the finished product.

You don’t have to buy an entire house in order to have a home kit. You can choose just the framing for the walls, siding, roof, and siding for your garage or crawl space.

Many people are surprised at the many obvious differences between Opleiding and a traditional house. These include:

The way the kitchen, bathroom, living room, and bedrooms all connect to each other using conventional joints makes Opleiding easier to build than a traditional house, and you get easy interior design options. That’s because you are almost always building from scratch, and the choices you make when working on Opleiding often translate into usable spaces.

Traditional homes often have half-built walls that connect to each other. Here, you are working from start to finish, which creates more seamless connections, such as walkways between rooms.

Traditional homes are sometimes too open on the sides. This tends to create light and airy rooms with expansive windows. Here, because the floor plan is well planned, you get more square footage and better circulation throughout the house.

Traditional homes have floor to ceiling walls of solid lumber, which usually has to be nailed together to form the frames. It is often difficult to glue Opleiding into place, unless you have an experience pro doing it for you.

Traditional homes have more exposed framing in the corners and in the exterior walls, where Opleiding is confined to little exposed posts or shelves. The exposed framing requires tedious stapling to join each piece together. With this type of framing, it’s simple to drill holes and nail down the wood.

Traditional homes often have a steel or aluminum frame, which is more expensive than the wood framed frames used in Opleiding. The cost difference is a small price to pay for the many other advantages you get when building from scratch.

If you are looking for a simple budget home that is easy to build, you might want to try out Opleiding. The great thing about it is that there is no need to replace the walls or build a roof before the project is finished.
