- Less time spent. It takes much less time to build a beautiful house than a building with 2 floors.

One-story brick houses can be built by yourself, with basic knowledge and some skills. This advantage helps to save a lot of money when hiring a construction team.
What are the negative sides?
Such buildings have a more sloping roof, which is under heavy load when heavy snow falls. Projects of one-story brick houses have one drawback - the need for a large area. The same living space plan on 2 floors, while using a smaller piece of land. It is more difficult to develop beautiful drawings of a one-story house if its dimensions are less than 12 by 12 m. In this case, guest rooms, bedrooms, children's rooms, a kitchen and an entrance hall are located on the same floor. When planning two-story buildings such a distinction is easier to make. There are other disadvantages:
- Increase in roof area. Due to this, the consumption of the roof increases and heat loss increases.
- The impossibility of performing a large angle of inclination of the slope. This is especially true in regions where there is a lot of precipitation in winter, as the load on the upper part of the house increases.

Foundation Features
For the durability of the building, it is important to lay the foundation correctly. Residential one-story private houses made of bricks are carried out in stages, starting with pouring the base. The hydrology of the soil, possible basements and the desired wall thickness are preliminarily taken into account. The foundation can be of several types, which are presented in the table:
The construction of a simple one-story residential building is most often carried out using strip base. Work plan:
- A pit is being prepared, the parameters of which are equal to the dimensions of the base.
- Line a pillow consisting of gravel and sand. Its height is on average 10 cm, while it is worth tamping a little.
- The formwork is made of wooden boards with a width no greater than the depth of the pit.
- Steel reinforcements are used around the perimeter, which are tied with wire. This is necessary to reinforce the foundation.
- A cement mortar or concrete is poured into the resulting structure.
The foundation is maintained for more than 21 days in order to achieve the necessary strength and stability of a one-story brick house.

So, if the dwelling is not designed for year-round living, then they use other materials than for the construction of premises for permanent use. Often built with double sand-lime bricks, which provide strength and guarantee a microclimate inside the building. The facades of one-story houses are erected from foam blocks, lined with bricks, which are used in the second row.
To perform masonry, you need a special solution, including the following components:
- sand;
- cement;
- water.
For 1 part of cement, 3 parts of sand are used. Dry substances are thoroughly mixed, and then gradually pour in the liquid. The mixture should acquire the desired consistency. To check its readiness, the bucket is tilted at an angle of 40 degrees. If the resulting mortar does not flow out, the brick wall begins to be laid.
