How to choose the right frame house project

The house for permanent residence assumes the possibility of year-round operation. Therefore, when choosing a project, it is important First of all, pay attention to thermal insulation.. Its thickness should be enough to keep warm even at low temperatures. If the house is being built only for the summer season, a small layer of heat-insulating material will be quite enough.

The area and height of the house, in addition to personal preferences, is affected by plot size. In a small area, it is optimal to build a two-story cottage so that there is room for a garden, vegetable garden or garage. One-story projects are usually popular with owners of large lots. As for the layout, it is important to take into account the number of people living in the house and the personal needs of the owners.

Another important factor is type of foundation, because it is on it that the whole structure of the house will be held. The larger, taller and more complex the project, the stronger and more reliable the foundation should be. The choice is also influenced by the level of groundwater and the type of soil on the site.

Popular questions and answers

The KP answers questions from readers Alexey Grishchenko – Founder and Development Director of Finsky Domik LLC.

What are the main pros and cons of frame houses?

The main advantage of frame houses is the high speed of construction, which is less affected by seasonality (when compared with other popular technologies). In addition, this is practically the only technology that allows you to make high-readiness house kits in production conditions. Subsequent installation at the construction site is only a few days.

In addition, modern frame houses are the warmest. That is, they allow you to spend a minimum of money on heating. Many of our clients, having calculated the cost of heating with electricity, then do not connect gas, as they understand that investments in its connection will pay off for a couple of decades.

The main drawback is mental prejudices. In our country, frame houses were initially perceived as something of poor quality, cheap and suitable at best for an inexpensive dacha.

What material are frame houses made of?

The phrase “frame house” has an answer. A distinctive feature of frame houses in load-bearing frames. They can be made of wood, metal, or even reinforced concrete. Monolithic multi-storey buildings are also a type of frame houses. However, usually a classic frame house is understood as a wooden load-bearing frame.

What is the maximum allowable number of storeys for a frame house?

If we talk about individual housing construction, that is, the height limit is no more than three floors. It doesn’t matter what technology is involved. Technically, the height of even a wooden frame house can be higher. But the higher the house, the more nuances and calculations. That is, it will not work to take and build a six-story house in the same way as a two-story house.

What kind of soil is a frame house suitable for?

There is no direct connection between soil and construction technology. It’s all a matter of calculation. But since timber-framed frame houses are classified as “light” houses, the requirements for soils and foundations are lower. That is, where building a stone house can be difficult and expensive, building a frame house is easier.
