How to build on a slope in French Polynesia<\/p>\n
Slopes are an integral part of the Polynesian landscape. Living on<\/p>\n
offers a number of advantages, including peace and quiet, unobstructed views<\/p>\n
freshness and lush greenery. These plots of land, often on slopes<\/p>\n
are becoming increasingly popular.<\/p>\n
But what do you need to know before building on a sloping plot?<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Three important steps are recommended before building<\/p>\n First step: the topographical survey<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n To obtain this, you need to call in a topographical surveyor.<\/p>\n This survey describes the exact shape of the land and provides information on the percentage of The topographical survey is used to determine the best possible location Second stage: the geotechnical study<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n This provides a better understanding of the terrain. For example, to determine cavities. It also enables us to determine the nature of the foundation soil, on the surface The geotechnical study must comply with standard NF P 94 500. Which ensures that These are not recommendations, but justifications to be found In mainland France, a G2-AVP\/PRO report has been the minimum required In Polynesia, there is as yet no law on this subject, and some professionals Normative recommendations remain recommendations: you have to adapt The third stage involves the expertise of the structural design office and the architect.<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Together, they will design the best possible framework to The last two steps are crucial.<\/p>\n And these studies, carried out by professionals, can significantly reduce the cost of insurance.<\/p>\n Choosing the contractor.<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Once you’ve completed these three steps, it’s time to choose a contractor, a decision not to They should have a good reputation, and preferably have been working in the area These recommendations may seem obvious, but we Sometimes there are numerous defects that And what should have been a lifelong dream becomes a Once you’ve chosen your contractor, it’s time for construction. Here<\/p>\n again, there are several options open to you. It all depends on your budget and The different building methods for a sloping site.<\/p>\n To limit additional costs, it’s advisable to adapt the house as much as possible \nDesign offices recommend the construction method best suited The first is semi-buried or recessed construction.<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n This allows earthworks to be carried out using a single platform, and integrates the construction The main disadvantage is the blind facade, offering less natural light.<\/p>\n For this type of construction, it’s important to prevent the earth from pushing against the walls The second type, \u201crestanque, staircase or stepped\u201d.<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n When the slope is gentle, it enables villas to be built on variable levels<\/p>\n offering more natural light. The disadvantage of this type The third type, \u201cbelvedere, on stilts\u201d.<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n This requires the least amount of earthwork, since the aim is to build one The advantages are numerous: panoramic views are unobstructed,<\/p>\n lower earthwork costs. And a more The final option: complete earthworks.<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n This solution is the most expensive, because of the quantity of earth to be moved Once again, this work should be entrusted to specialists. If you want to ensure that the recommendations made by the experts consulted in the initial This will cost you a little more initially, but will save you Thanks to Andr\u00e9 Chacra, Managing Director of ACI Aifaitoraa Concipio Ing\u00e9nierie, <\/em><\/p>\n Useful links :<\/p>\n The list of surveyors in French Polynesia :<\/p>\n www.service-public.pf\/daf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2019\/01\/TABLEAU-OGPF- Nothing is impossible!

\nbe taken lightly. The price of construction per square metre should not be the
\nonly criterion for selecting a builder. Above all, be sure of his credibility,

\nfor a long time. If possible, ask for references or to visit homes he
\nhas designed. Ask about his company. It’s imperative that the builder
