In the journey of creating a dream home, building a rough house is always the most critical starting point, where the foundation is laid for all architectural value, aesthetics, and long-term durability. Many homeowners focus heavily on finishing stages, forgetting that the rough structure is the backbone that allows a house to stand strong over time. At 3A Signature, every stage of building a rough house is not merely a technical task, but a journey that demands precision, experience, and dedication from the entire team of architects and construction engineers.
What Is Building A Rough House? Understanding It Correctly From The Beginning
Building a rough house refers to the construction process of the structural framework of a building, including foundations, columns, beams, slabs, walls, staircases, concealed electrical and plumbing systems, and roofing. This stage creates the “skeleton” that defines all functions, proportions, and structural durability of the house.
If finishing works are like the outfit that expresses the homeowner’s aesthetic taste, then the rough structure is the body, containing strength and safety. A beautiful, durable home that follows its original design can only be achieved when building a rough house is executed correctly from the very start.

The Importance Of Building A Rough House – The Root Of Long Term Durability
Many believe that finishing works determine the beauty of a home. In reality, when it comes to construction, building a rough house is the decisive factor that ensures the longevity of the structure.
Why is the rough stage so important?
- Structural durability: Foundations, columns, and beams are the backbone of the house. When executed properly, the building can remain stable for decades without subsidence or cracking.
- Load bearing capacity: All loads from the roof, walls, furniture, and occupants are transferred to the rough structure. Even a minor mistake at this stage can lead to serious consequences.
- Functional optimization: When the structural framework is accurate, spatial layout, window placement, and natural lighting become harmonious, reducing future modification costs.
- Long lasting aesthetics: A solid foundation helps finishing layers maintain their form, minimizing wall cracks, floor settlement, or peeling paint.
For 3A Signature, the rough structure represents the soul of the house, accounting for 70 percent of overall quality and 50 percent of total project cost.

Main Components Of Building A Rough House
1. Foundation Construction – The Basis Of Safety
The foundation bears the entire load of the building. Choosing the right foundation type, whether strip foundations, pile foundations, or isolated footings, depends on local soil conditions. At 3A Signature, engineers always conduct thorough geotechnical surveys and precise load calculations to propose optimal construction solutions that ensure technical safety while optimizing costs for homeowners.

2. Columns, Beams, And Slabs Construction
This stage defines the entire skeletal structure of the house. 3A Signature uses high quality concrete, certified steel reinforcement, and a strict concrete pouring process with inspections at every phase to ensure strength, flatness, and load bearing capacity.

3. Wall Construction And Spatial Formation
Walls are built using tunnel bricks or eco friendly non fired bricks that offer excellent thermal and acoustic insulation. All joints, right angles, and elevations are checked using laser equipment to guarantee absolute accuracy.

4. Installation Of Concealed Electrical And Plumbing Systems
Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems are planned scientifically for easy maintenance and to avoid demolition during finishing stages. This reflects the distinct approach of building a rough house at 3A Signature, refined and sustainable even in hidden details.

The Building A Rough House Process At 3A Signature
Step One Survey And Technical Consultation
Before construction begins, engineers survey the site, analyze sunlight, wind direction, soil conditions, and feng shui. Based on these findings, 3A Signature proposes the most suitable rough construction solution for each site.
Step Two Site Preparation And Foundation Works
This stage includes layout setting, excavation, formwork installation, and reinforcement placement. Every operation is strictly supervised to ensure compliance with design drawings.
Step Three Structural Construction
This is the core phase, involving concrete pouring, erection of columns, beams, slabs, and walls. 3A Signature commits to using certified materials, skilled craftsmen, and continuous on site supervision.
Step Four Inspection And Quality Verification
Upon completion of the rough structure, 3A Signature conducts quality inspections according to international standards, measuring flatness, alignment, and concrete strength before moving on to finishing works.

Building A Rough House Costs In 2025 – Updates From 3A Signature
The cost of building a rough house in 2025 depends on factors such as area, location, soil conditions, scale, and materials. Average pricing ranges as follows:
- Modern townhouses: 3,500,000 to 4,500,000 VND per square meter
- High end villas: 4,800,000 to 6,500,000 VND per square meter
- Houses combined with commercial use: 5,000,000 to 6,800,000 VND per square meter
3A Signature does not pursue the lowest price, but focuses on delivering value that matches quality, peace of mind, and long term durability.
Essential Experience For Homeowners When Building A Rough House
Choose a reputable contractor: Do not judge by price alone. Review completed projects, construction processes, and contract transparency.
Conduct periodic supervision: Homeowners should monitor key milestones such as foundation pouring, column erection, and slab casting.
Prepare detailed design documentation: Architectural, structural, and MEP drawings must be clear to avoid construction discrepancies.
Respect technical curing processes: Waiting for concrete to reach proper strength is far more valuable than spending tens of millions on repairs later.
Conclusion
In every project, building a rough house is not merely a technical phase, but a commitment to safety and long term sustainability for the future home. At 3A Signature, every brick and every steel frame is placed with dedication and responsibility, so that when homeowners step into their house, they can feel peace and solidity from the foundation to the finest detail.
Let 3A Signature accompany you in creating a home that is not only beautiful, but enduring over time, where all living values are born from a strong and reliable foundation.
