The main trends of 2024 in the field of individual construction

The number of connoisseurs of country life is constantly growing. People understand that owning a home is not only a great investment, but also a chance to break away from the hustle and bustle without giving up the benefits of civilization. This also applies to the issue of the ability to work outside the office: remote workers increasingly prefer personal real estate. This trend was noted, among others, by the Vladimir company Stroyproekt. Its director Alexander Sadkov has collected for us five key trends in the field of individual housing construction that will be relevant in 2024.

Trend 1. New type of customer and construction site

If until recently, mainly wealthy older people were interested in individual construction, now among the customers there are quite a few young specialists who work remotely. Many of them are related to industries where all you need to work is a computer and a stable Internet connection. Now they can afford a dream home in the suburbs of Vladimir and beyond, as well as away from regional centers, where land is usually more accessible.

“We have noticed an increase in such clients,” notes Alexander Sadkov, director of the Vladimir company Stroyproekt. — We have more projects located far from large centers, where all the necessary communications and infrastructure are also available. Living outside the city does not at all force you to give up your usual conditions. If we talk about territories outside of Vladimir, we have carried out and are continuing work in the villages of Sadovy, Golovino, and Bogoslovo. There is a bus service available there, a school, a kindergarten, and shops are nearby. In general, everything you need.

There are locations within the regional center, for example, in Yuryevets and on Polyanka Street opposite Tandem. These options are for those who dream of their own real estate, but do not want to leave the concrete jungle. We build houses throughout the Vladimir region on a variety of sites and are always ready to take into account all the client’s wishes.”

Trend 2. Demand for small one-story houses

This year, compact buildings on small plots are popular, meeting all the needs of a modern person, Alexander Sadkov is sure.

“People no longer need large areas. For a family of three to five people, 140 – 150 square meters is enough. Each person has a room plus one spacious living room. Stairs and multi-story buildings are no longer so relevant, although there is a demand for buildings of various formats. Our website presents many projects, including large mansions and modest cozy homes. We finalize each of the options, focusing on the taste and preferences of the customer.

People are divided into two types: those who live in apartments and those who are happy. We're kidding, of course, although owning your own home really does have a lot of advantages. Before purchasing or building, you should familiarize yourself with them, as well as with the situation on the Vladimir market, where five interesting trends will be relevant this year.

Village Nikulino

People are leaving the city, they want to have their own property, and they have this opportunity, and at the price of a three-room apartment. Also, the owner of a country house receives a lot of other advantages: privacy, comfort, closeness to nature, his own parking space, a full-fledged recreation area.”

Trend 3. Eco-friendly materials

Today, environmental friendliness is a priority for residential property owners. Clients want to have an energy-efficient home made from natural ingredients. Stroyproekt works with a wide variety of materials and is ready to offer the best option for every taste and budget of the client.

“The most environmentally friendly wall material is ceramics. Aerated concrete is also in demand in our region: it is slightly inferior in strength, but more affordable. For the floor we mainly use reinforced concrete structures, but for the roof we often choose an aesthetic seam roof. You’ve probably seen one like this in the city center. The manufacturer gives it a guarantee of up to 30 years: the metal is coated with polymer materials and painted. However, what the house will be built from is always chosen by the client, and we only help him with this choice.”

Trend 4. Lots of natural light and flexible space

An important trend in the construction of individual houses is the use of natural light to the maximum. The head of the Stroyproekt company notes that people are asking for more skylights and “open views,” including to the garden and backyard. Flexible and functional spaces with built-ins are also relevant. The company can create any design project and make a turnkey house from scratch.

“We offer different stages of construction: some people just need a “box” – the initial form with a foundation, walls and roof, and we do it, others need a building with pre-finishing. Communications have already been provided here, including sewerage, heating, water supply, electrical wiring, plastering, screeding, and plumbing installation. Pre-finishing most often includes finishing with painting, laying laminate flooring, stretching the ceiling, and so on. After this, clients only have to deliver the furniture.

The final stage is landscaping the area: erecting fences, laying paths, installing gates and gates, creating a parking space. We do it. Examples of turnkey houses were our projects on the same Polyanka and the former street of the Parisian Commune, and now the Hero of Russia Kutuzov. It is important to note that we will never refuse phased construction if the customer does not have funds for the entire project at once. It happens that we first build the foundation, and after a while we begin further work.”

Trend 5. Yards are an important part of the living space

There is a request for beautiful functional areas in the open air, and Stroyproekt is ready to help with them. The company cooperates with a company that is engaged in land surveying and landscaping.

“The most current size of land in the city is from 4 to 6 acres. Enough to organize a small recreation area, where you can, for example, have a barbecue. This is also enough to create several flower beds. Plots of 8 – 12 acres will already allow you to acquire your own vegetable garden with greenhouses and fruit trees, and install a bathhouse. There are also luxury options for those who value privacy and who require a large free area. Here you can start from 14 acres. However, people’s goals and needs are different, as are their areas. For example, we are now negotiating the construction of a house in Yuryev-Polsky on three hectares of land.”

Village Sadovy

Alexander Sadkov clarifies that clients come to them with a specific plot of land on which a house is being built. The company does not currently provide land realtor services, although this may soon change.

“I would like to note the large role of digital solutions in our field,” adds the director of the Vladimir company. — We also use and implement them in order to make the service more convenient and the result more visual. For example, the client has the opportunity to view the future home in 3D model format even before work begins. Technologies also help in coordinating the stages of interaction with contractors and subcontractors, in tracking the supply of materials, cost planning and other technological processes.

This year we are going to introduce video surveillance at sites so that the customer can carry out online control. There are also plans to add VR technology – with the help of virtual glasses, the client will have the opportunity to get into his future home even before work begins. Agree, it’s very convenient! Thus, we intend to develop the Vladimir market and push the boundaries, reaching a new level.”
