Architect Vo The Duy (CTA | Creative Architects) will guide you through four effective ways to save money on construction costs. Clearly define the necessary space needs First, the homeowner needs to assess the needs of the space used for clarity. In addition to the sleeping space, the kitchen, living room or separate toilet space for each room can be reduced or eliminated depending on the case. Besides determining the space the family really needs, homeowners should think about grouping common spaces (spaces with similar functions together), such as kitchen – dining, or guest – eating, studying. – common activities… The grouping of spaces is valuable when choosing a covering solution. For open spaces, common living, the covering solution can be eliminated, both saving costs and creating a ventilation environment for this area. The less space, the more economical and quick the construction and maintenance. A model of love housing groups spaces, dividing areas that need to be covered and not covered to limit the wall area. Prioritize main space With a tight budget, you should not spread the investment to every space in the house. For example, most Vietnamese people are interested in the living room, so we can invest money for finishing materials or furniture for chairs, tables, lamps… for this area. The remaining spaces such as bedrooms, bathrooms save costs, use sparingly for design. For some individuals who prioritize sleeping space, on the contrary, they will prioritize investment in beds, cabinets, glass doors, lighting… Choose a simple solution, easy construction The simple selection of materials and construction methods will reduce the cost of materials, accompanying construction equipment, quality control, etc. Besides, it also saves construction and travel time. Calculating the optimal use of materials, limiting redundancy is also a way to save construction costs. Wall house (CTA | Creative Architects) uses burnt brick walls – defective products to reuse for facades, reducing costs for materials as well as finishing and maintenance. Take advantage of the available, natural element Using old materials such as bricks, tiles, wood, old doors or using local materials will save money on buying materials and transportation costs. Taking advantage of the surrounding landscape for works with vacant land is also very important. For example, taking advantage of the shade of trees and lakes to get shade and cool the wind.

Immediately, the sharing received the attention and “winged” compliments of the housewives for this girl.

When posting her dishes on social networks, Vu Giang received a rain of compliments from the sisters who love to cook. Most people think that 9X’s meals are very rich and varied, each meal is delicious and eye-catching.

Vu Huong Giang (26 years old, Son La), currently she is the owner of a milk tea shop.

Talking about her personal hobbies, Giang shared that cooking is her passion. Even though she is only in the kitchen all day, she is not bored. ‘For me, cooking brings joy, and helps people connect more with family. Family meals are not only for eating but also where members get together after working day ‘- 9X said.

Usually, each bowl of Huong Giang rice is made for 3-4 people. Although we always change the menu every day, there is a ‘immutable’ principle that 9X sets when cooking is that each plate of rice must have enough soup and savory dishes, have enough vegetables and protein. In addition, when cooking, 9X also has certain criteria for the meal to be always delicious and fresh. Typically, the food she will buy that day, limited to preserve.

In order to cook well, 9X also learns and learns more recipes on the Internet to be able to process many dishes that they like.

To make the meal less bored, 9X will often change dishes, making the meal always bring a fresh feeling.

Giang found himself quite leisurely in the cooking process. ‘I often go to the kitchen, so it’s pretty quick to arrange work in the kitchen. Before going to the market, I have to make a menu first to avoid going to the market but have to think about what to eat in order to save time. I cook most of the dishes that are easy to eat and easy to make so it is suitable for the whole family because many times I cook complicatedly with strange spices people will be difficult to eat ‘- 9X share.

On average, each tray of rice that Vu Giang makes has a price ranging from 70-150 thousand VND. Time to complete each tray of rice on average about 30 minutes – 1 hour thanks to her know how to arrange work in a scientific way. Any day making sophisticated dishes will take a little more time.

In addition to passion, the main motivation for Vu Giang to cook every day is seeing her husband and children eat well. ‘My daughter loves the food she makes. She will support her to do whatever she does and praise her. ‘ – The young mother excitedly shared.

Let’s take a look at the cozy rice dishes of the young mother 9X from Son La!
