How houses are built in Germany in 2 days
We are accustomed to the fact that in order to build a house, a considerable amount of resources is needed, and most importantly time. Germany is a country with unimaginable architecture and various buildings, including those built in 2 days. “How is this possible?” You ask. And I will try to answer this question in detail in this article.
Under the German technology of building a house is meant the construction of a frame-type room. To carry out this process, you will need a wooden frame and insulated panels that can easily withstand the most severe climates.
Specialists of German companies in the construction of houses combined 2 indicators: speed and quality. The principle of this construction is similar to a house of cards; we assemble modules ordered in advance in parts. The order for the manufacture of house components is 3 months. All communications and basic household appliances are immediately mounted in ready-made modules.
Most often, construction companies have already developed plans for the construction of a house, and all the necessary processes are calculated for them, as well as the amount of labor and materials expended. But if something does not suit you or you want to change any detail, then in accordance with your requests the specialists will make adjustments to the plan, unfortunately, not without additional costs. The parts of the module are delivered to the site and the installation process begins. Windows may already be inserted into walls. In turn, the insulation is already inserted from the inside of the walls, and they are sewn on the outside. The roof is also delivered ready-made or consists of separate parts. From the outside, the construction of the house looks amazing, because the team of workers fulfills the task assigned to them with extraordinary speed.
The Germans prefer natural and environmentally friendly ingredients. German eco-concrete is the main building material. It consists of natural pumice from the Alps, foamed glass, and of course cement, water and sand.
Since natural and light materials are used to create home kits, such a house does not require a particularly strong foundation. A pile foundation with concrete strapping is used. It can be arranged both on the surface of the earth and be buried.
Before starting the installation of the main elements, the surface of the foundation is filled with a layer of waterproofing material to prevent moisture from penetrating to the structure. It may seem that installation is quite simple, but since ready-made modules are brought to the site, it requires the use of cranes and manipulators.
In Russia, unfortunately, this technology has not taken root, and the main disadvantage is the inability to meet all the standards and requirements for building a house. Comparing with Germany, it should be noted that the manufacture of houses there is subject to strict certification and standardization, and on the territory of our country when ordering structures using German technology, it is impossible to check the compliance of the materials hidden under sheathing.
Share your construction experience, perhaps your advice will help in choosing one or another technology for building houses.
