Private house of RC block of rooms: fast and reliable

The construction of a modular home from a block of rooms - prefabricated housing technology

Modular construction in various forms is becoming increasingly popular, especially with the ability to shorten the construction period. But if the country houses of metal block containers or wooden modules - a phenomenon already familiar, the flow of the room are much less common, despite the fact that in the past in the Land of the Soviets are erected even high-rise buildings. However, the portal FORUMHOUSE is an example of the construction of a modular home from a block of rooms, which may be of interest to anyone who is on the stage of choosing the type of construction.

Block rooms - RC foundation

Block House - This is the factory of reinforced concrete products, formed as a room with the ceiling, floor and walls, usually with one window and a doorway, but there may be variations depending on the area application. If you talk about the garage block, then make a distinctive opening at the gate, in the workers' sheds windows smaller and different weight distribution. At the garage blocks are bearing angles, and in room - walls, they go with the ribs. If necessary, when the standard versions of something that is not satisfied, the manufacturer can produce a block-to-order. Produces both insulated (fully or partially) the modules, as well as the purely concrete, building after building of which require thermal insulation according to the region of residence.

The house, built from a block of rooms, the characteristics comparable to the monolithic concrete house, erected on a rented formwork technology. But the unit is filled at a time. Used concrete, grade M300, and a protective layer that prevents negative impact of the environment on the reinforcing cage, well sustained. With self layered pouring difficult to achieve uniformity of the factory and the precise geometry of the walls and ceilings.

It is also important that the blocks can be built from the year-round, the main thing - to have time to prepare for the season foundation whereas pouring requires positive temperatures or the use of special additives and devices heating.

The disadvantages include the weight blocks - all manipulations require the use of specialized equipment, and delivery of a problem. Producers in the country can be counted on one hand, and to bring the blocks again, a special tractor to a remote region - an expensive pleasure. However, the cost of modules even with the delivery method of construction makes this attractive to those who want a feasible cost as quickly as possible get a rough design. From these considerations flow room as the foundation of his house chosen member of our portal vilk1985 (Andrew) from Khabarovsk.

Building a house from a block of rooms

Construction experience I have, but he himself is engaged in repair of apartments - the hand is, know how to use the tool. I chose this type of construction due to lack of time, money and expertise, and it is already finished construction with a roof, floor and walls. It remains only to put on the foundation, make communication and warm. Of course, everything is easy in words, not so easy in practice, but to retreat late, everything began to turn.

The house with an attic floor - the first floor of a block of rooms, entrance through the middle, in one of the extreme - room, in another - a kitchen and a bathroom. Concrete modules garage type (to make glass windows and panoramic same input group) were ordered at the factory new rooms length - 6 m, width - 3.5 meters height - 2.5 m. Since initially planned to make the intermediate section with partly brick walls, the first two blocks produced without the fourth wall, only support.

When asked why it was concrete, which requires mandatory thermal insulation meets the following.

In our region, usually for frame housing used insulation thickness of 15 cm, I will go to the insulation of concrete walls about 20 mᶟ insulation, and it will cost in the region of 40,000 rubles. The cost of concrete frame (in my case) is almost equal to the cost of any other framework, taking into account the work and the material of the walls, ceiling and floor. But I do not need to go and supervise that the material is not stolen, and are not hard workers shoals ran. In addition, my room block is now, as an indoor storage area for materials and the opportunity to come by, sit and relax and hide from the heat and rain.

First season: the foundation and completion of the project

In the first year Andrew poured foundation tape 11x6 m and a height of 40 cm, as planned before the house terrace width of 2 m, filled in the entire length of the four supports (burqa). Behind the planned boiler room, also on stilts, but because of the smaller size, supports two pieces (on the edges). That the house was a cellar under the ground floor (and access from below for insulation), stacked on top of the tape blocks FBS, they are also used as support beams for covering terraces and boiler room.

The original plan - folded brick outer walls instead of the third block, and as slabs to put two central columns support, has undergone dramatic changes. From the third block of the room in favor of the brick walls of craftsman he refused to be able to freely make a ladder to the attic and the door to the cellar. But it turned out that with plates of overlap is not so simple - would require adjustment to hatch and left, and stair opening is not less than 1.3 m, and the new "bite", and b / y to find the right size problem. To make wood floors, too, need time, especially in the absence of experience with lumber.

Moreover, the brick walls with wooden beams, taking into account the materials and work, according to approximate estimates would have cost about one hundred thousand, and took away about two weeks time.

Therefore, the result of deliberation and calculation was the order of the third block of the room with the hatch, stairwells and doorways in the right places, as well as mortgages, to weld modules with each other. At a cost of nearly turned the same way, but in terms of labor costs and more profitable.

The second season: the construction and insulation

Since the beginning of the construction season next year topikstarter proceeded to aligners, an attempt to make the formwork of the board from the highest point and pour into it the tape failed. Rescued concrete beacons.

I took advantage of leveling instrument acquaintance put thereon level drilled in the block corners on the two holes and by means of screws repulsed all the points, and then on the two self-tapping screws with a solution made lighthouses, which have already pulled rule. This method proved as accurate as possible and helped us a lot when applied to the base layer.

While leveling layer to survive, in the production unit produced by individual order, it was not only about doorways in the amount of four pieces, opening a hatch and ladder to the cellar, but the exact size and location mortgages.

Before installing blocks Andrew dug cellar - 2,5x2 m, a height of full height, of the double metal frame perimeter (welded) as fencing - two layers of slate and earthen backfill.

Instead of the planned original panoramic windows and glass entrance group has put two large windows in the kitchen and hall, and two windows in the corridor openings laid blocks.

While convinced of the reliability of the reinforcement cage - the expansion of the opening had to make Herculean efforts did not save even a Bulgarian.

After the installation of windows and doors moved into the house, the roof rolled surfaced roofing, flooring made out on the terrace.

To accelerate the pace of construction, the assembly of the wooden frame of the attic (with rafter system) has hired a team from sunny Uzbekistan, staged both speed and quality, and cost. As a coating selected metal roofing and indoor decided himself as for her hardworking requested too many.

The PSB-15 used as a heater chosen PSB-25, 10 cm thick, on the floor and the second floor covering of the first (insulated from the basement). Due to the ground floor - no problem with warming the bottom and holding communications. As planned, it took 20 mᶟ insulation. Heating in the house until the electrical, the box retains heat well, despite the intensifying cold. At the moment, the house wound up water, installed a bathroom and a sink in the kitchen, in the bathroom portable composting toilets, according to the frosts did not run into the street.

The foam was chosen not only because of the lower cost, but also because of the possibility to leave it without the protective layer to the next construction season, which should not be allowed to insulators on the basis of stone wool. Therefore, all work on the exterior and the arrangement of the attic floor postponed until next year, but winter is quite possible, and on a course - to engage in interior decoration, good, smooth walls and rough floors complete this process significantly easier.
