Everyone has different associations with a home. But everyone will agree that, first and foremost, a home is safety and reliability, protection for each resident. In the modern world, these concepts include such aspects of life as fire safety systems, complex security, quality elevators and building materials that can minimize the risks of urban living.
Construction technology. When choosing housing, the most important point is the construction technology. For example, the monolithic-frame method allows one not to fear seismic activity, while panel construction avoids construction delays and 'eternal' repairs. Such houses can be operated for 100-200 years without fear for one's health. Brick technology, although good, is often quite expensive and requires a certain amount of time to build.
Building materials. When choosing apartments in a new building in Kyiv, it is worth paying attention to the resources used in its construction. Eco-friendly materials are not only safe for health, but also allow significantly improving such aspects of life as sound insulation and energy efficiency, thereby providing residents with peace and full rest within the home. Moreover, quality building materials can minimize fire hazard.
Unfortunately, most developers use polystyrene foam as insulation, hiding behind its low cost and high energy efficiency. In reality, mineral wool also has improved heat retention properties and, moreover, allows walls to breathe naturally and is not afraid of fires. As the practice of modern new buildings shows, for example the residential complex 'Amurskyi', its cost does not significantly affect the price, but makes the quality of life much higher.
Fire safety system. When choosing a complex to live in, it is worth being especially attentive to details. If the developer complied with fire safety rules during construction and did not skimp on materials, the risk of fire will be minimal. But unfortunately, it is quite difficult to check this, and it is not always possible to choose a trusted developer. In such a case, preference should be given to houses that have their own fire safety system: fire elevators, designed staircases that will be smoke-free. Some developers equip common areas with fire extinguishers, and apartments have balconies where one can wait for firefighters.
The layout of the surrounding area is also important – assess whether firefighters can normally reach the new building (number of dead-end roads, detours, bridges), get close enough to the house, whether there are hydrants nearby, etc. It should be noted that residents of upper floors are more at risk from fire, as extinguishing the fire will be more difficult.
Elevators. Elevators play an important role in the safety of residents. Thus, modern developers use elevators that can be used even during fires, which allow not fearing power surges and breathing freely even when the elevator stops between floors.
Complex security. Visitors to the building also play an important role. Each developer solves the problem of scammers and villains differently. For example, business class gets security and a pass system for the building territory, elite new buildings also install alarms and surveillance cameras. Only the economy class remains in question: how to protect housing without involving additional resources.
Thus, the residential complex 'Amurskyi' offers a solution by installing impact-resistant doors and intercoms. The lighting of the surrounding area also allows assessing the condition of the street when returning home and not fearing maniacs lurking in corners. Underground parking, which allows keeping the car safe and not fearing theft, should also be included in this category.
In general, when choosing a new building, it is worth evaluating each point and not falling for advertising slogans. Do not be afraid to ask for the necessary documentation and inquire about details – this will allow you to choose affordable safe housing and not overpay.
