Is Cost the Effective Measuring Tool for Successful Farm?

(Which do you intend to build?)


I often received calls and emails from my readers regarding the cost of building of a Stanalone farm. Many of them would ask how much the cost per s/f for building a Standalone. By such questions it is clearly seen that cost of building has been used as the main criteria for measuring success.



If this perception continued I bet the failed rate of farm in Malaysia would continue to increase higher.
.

Bear in mind we are not building a bungalow or a house for human to stay .We are building a Swiftlet farm which will generate income in future. In other words it is an investment. An investment has to have good ROI.
.

I had again and again advised many of my readers not to compare the cost of building a house for human to a Stanalone farm. There is no standard building cost for Standalone farm. The per s/f can not be use as a yard stick. It depends on your budget and how one wants to create a good micro in the farm. If one were have to follow the common cost per s/f to build there farm as the main criteria then I anticipate a higher chances of failure than success.
.

I guess the normal contractor would quote a cheaper price as he is charging based on how a house is being built.
.
For Stand Alone, double layers of bricks are used where house you don’t need that. A water proving membrane (this to prevent leakage) is laid on the roof if a pool is being built for house you don’t need this. In a Stand alone you need many tons of good grades Meranti that you don’t have to worry about fungus and mold. For house you don’t need Meranti. Higher ceiling and there are many more things that Stanalone farms need, thickness of wall……………what materials are being used….All these would affect the cost of building.


The above is all about to create and achieve a good micro so that birds would stay and make nests thus your ROI is safeguarded.



Obviously you could build a farm by using cement board as walls or even plywood and so on……..you will still achieve your objective of having a Standalone farm but to make a good macro it is not as easy as that. Otherwise if it is so cheap and easy to build a Stanalone then you would see more Stanalone than shop lot farm.



Anybody can build a Stanalone farm but having achieved building a farm and having a successful farm that generates income is two different things.



Hope all readers know how to differentiate this.



Good Luck.

(你要建那一个?)
我經常接到從讀者的电话或電子郵件關於修造單獨燕屋農場的費用。 很多會问修造每 的方尺花費多少。 由這样的問題明顯地被看見, 燕屋的費用使用了作為成功的主要標準為測量。 如果這悟性繼續了, 我打賭燕屋農場的不合格的率在馬來西亞將继续增加更高。 記住, 我們不是修建一座平房或人的一個房子。我們修建將创造收入今后 的燕屋農場。 换句话说它是投資。 投資必須有好的ROI。 我再次勸告我的讀者, 修建單獨燕屋農場不比較人的房子的費用。 沒有獨立燕屋農場的標準建筑物造价。 每方尺是不可能作為用途。 它依靠您的預算, 並且想要怎麼在燕屋農場創造一個 好的屋内环境。 如果是必須跟隨每方尺的共同的費用修造燕屋農場, 失敗的機會比 成功更高。 我猜測正常承包商將引述一個更加便宜的價格,他根據怎样建造房子。 對于單獨燕屋的立場,使用双层磚, 房子是不需要的地方。 證明膜(這的水防止漏出) 在屋頂被放置,如果水池為房子被修造您不需要。 在單獨立場您需要許多噸好等级 的Meranti, 您不必須擔心真菌和鑄造。 對于房子您不需要Meranti。 高天花板和那裡 是單獨燕屋農場需要的,牆壁的厚度....使用什麼材料….所有這些將影響燕屋的費用。 以上所有將創造,並且達到一個好的屋内环境,以便燕子將因而停留並且做窝您的ROI被保障。 明显地您可能修建燕屋農場使用水泥板, 因為牆壁甚至膠合板等等..... 您將 达到您的目标有一個獨立燕屋農場,但是,是不容易達到一個好的屋内环境。 否則, 如果它是,很便宜和容易修造獨立燕屋農場, 您會看見獨立燕屋農場比商店農場更多。 任何人能修建獨立燕屋農場,但是達到修建燕屋農場和有创造收入的一個成功的燕屋農場是二件不同事。 希望所有讀者會區分此。祝您好运。
