I bought and entering: modular prefabricated house

The technology is attractive modular housing, but why no hurry to mess with her

Although modular homes are positioned as a modern trend, it is becoming more common in the private sector, by and large, with a "beard" technology like Hottabych. And wooden cabins, and metal containers, often served as summer residents, not only for storage inventory, but also to "eat-sleep", and construction trailers in previous years, in fact - modules. The only difference is that when it comes it is a house, it is understood a number of modules arranged in a desired form. And what the result is - try to consider from different perspectives.

What is a modular home

Considered modular house being built from large block structures of factory production, with a degree of readiness from 75 to 95%. That is, the leitmotif of technology - high speed of construction with minimal finishing. Depending on the artist, a modular home can be fully ready for occupancy. The remaining 5% are furniture, textiles, utensils needed for a comfortable lifestyle accessories and home appliances. But modules such readiness expensive pleasure that negates another characteristic feature of the technology - low.

It is believed that a modular home today is not only the fastest, but also one of the most affordable ways to live on the site. Especially if it's not about living, and on the seasonal pastime.

But given that income at all different, and the concept of affordable housing for each of their own, the difference can be hundreds of thousands, if not millions. Rather, the target audience - the middle class.

The number of modules depends on the desired area - a minimum of two, and at the maximum erecting homes to three floors. Alternatively, when around one module and above it is attached and a superstructure frame to increase the area, too, is common enough, but the modular home in every sense of the structure will be gone. But when the two modules are spread over a distance, and the resulting space between the shield and the entire structure is covered with a common roof - quite promising option.

I want to put two insulated cabins (greater inner walls for soundproofing) wide and a height of 3 m, 6 m long if I can deal with the roof - passage between the cabins is 4 m think that the timber easily withstand the load even if a flat roof if I put 150 × 50 mm on the board edge.. On the attic, I do not know - there is in terms of design it is necessary to think. At the initial stage of money and time, see the central part of the warm or not, because it is not only warm in winter but cool in summer.

It turns out something like this.

In the case where the modular home is not chosen for reasons of economy, it may initially look stylish, without the "dancing with a tambourine."

I want to build a modular home. All very pleasant: the shape and layout, as well as the convenience of quick installation, and the price is also very like it... It was in this house - uyutnenko, looks gorgeous panoramic window and ceiling height of 3 m happy. Still captivates, that in the future, when there will be a child, I can easily attach another module.

Wanted - made.

So, I put my house on the plot. House brought in four cars. Blocks mounted directly on the day of arrival. And so, the house was completely ready in four days.

Participants discuss the picture raised doubts - suspected another visualization for marketing purposes. Confused basement, to create the impression in the paint on the editor. It turned out that the trim cap to the cost of the house was not included, and that the species was presentable, gizmatics temporarily shut its metal panels under wild stone. And in order to distance itself from accusations of fraud, and posted a photo of the assembly process.

I should add that a modular home studio, 45 m², cost gizmatics a million more than at the end of 2015. Whereas Scampy planned to meet the 400 thousand rubles last year. The difference a solid, but also at home, in addition to the total modular principle, nothing to do with each other do not have.

varieties of modules

Two types of modules are the most common.

wooden

In fact - cabins and its derivatives, erected on frame technology. Pie walling varies depending on the manufacturer. In most cases - the frame of the power board 150 × 50 mm, with mineral wool insulation, rarely, ecowool or other insulators, a thickness of 150 to 200 mm. Inside divorced wiring, provided the input water and sanitation, as interior decoration - wall paneling. On the facade of the standard it is also a tree, but it can be as an imitation lumber and bar or something like that. Back in the budget segment of modular houses "turnkey", the same technology, but the project is more interesting - and the roof is not only flat, and options for interior and exterior finishing much more. And except for the wiring are present and all the engineering systems, and plumbing fixtures. What is called - come in and live, both in the apartment with a fine finish.

metal

Such block house, in essence, metal karkasniki - welded or modular frame of channel and corner, as crates wooden beam. The thickness of the insulation also in the range of 150-200 mm, a minimum of engineering - electrical, mortgages; wood trim or MDF composite. Trapezoidal sheet metal sheathed modules and many such kind are quite satisfied, but more so unpresentable front cover lining (leader siding). Metal block containers is just a budget option and delights none of the manufacturers are not particularly bother. Fundamental differences between the modules of wood and metal there, except that the latter have greater rigidity and because they allowed to build houses three floors. But usually this will not reach the second floor, and even make the carcass.

Reinforced concrete block room is so rare in the private sector that they are difficult to be attributed to a single mind, however - it is also the modules.

In RC is the lowest degree of readiness, it is in the truest sense, the bare walls, but drenched prefabricated of concrete and branded for one approach. Order can be in a typical form, with one door and one window opening, and on the individual parameters, for example - only with doorways and openings under the stairs, in the case of an average two-storey block in the combined house. Such as he built himself a member of our portal with the nickname vilk1985 (Andrey) from Khabarovsk, as told in one of the previous materials.

So - the house is worth, the winter it is already the third winter. The house is warm, everything freezes corners are insulated and partially made interior... In my example, the neighbor also erected a house of BC, one storey. To install the modules on the foundation of bored piles with strapping channel bar. Two blocks, among them extension on frame technology. Warming is also made of foam 20cm.

Technology Advantages and pitfalls

The modular homes private developers to attract many.

• Availability - when it comes to the budget segment designs, they really captivate an acceptable combination of area / cost. It is important that you can save and by facilitating the foundation.
• Readiness - not all have the opportunity to engage in the construction of their own full cycle, even if the need refinement, in this sense simpler, it can be stretched in time.
• Speed ​​- even taking into account the timing of manufacturing units, a minimum of time is spent, and if we take into account only the assembly, there is no alternative.
• Versatile - can be ordered modules are not only typical but also on individual projects, with their own layouts.
• Mobility - a modular home can be moved if necessary (in parts or as a whole, based on the characteristics of the project). Not the fact that such a need arises, but the fact that the possibility exists, is quite convenient.

As for the "tar", it is also sufficient.

Quality of execution - is the biggest problem.

As well as throughout the construction industry as a whole, in a modular housing construction in particular, the lion's share of the negative accounts for unscrupulous manufacturers. This total saving on materials, such as by reducing the cross-sections and thicknesses, as well as through the use of the cheapest items. And the violation of technology, and not only during assembly, but also in the design of the walls and floor of the pie. It is also common delay timing module assembly at the plant and cover with the assembly.

There are other difficulties.

Problems with the construction of these houses are as follows:

• delivery;
• unloading;
• driveways;
• the need for special equipment (crane, a manipulator);
• small ceiling height and inclination (if pent roof);
• incomprehensible material packed inside (if already wired walls) and quality of stacking.

And most importantly - violation frame housing technology (ventilation gaps, joints gluing film, dry board, cantilevers, etc...). Although already there are variants of modular, prefabricated homes without these problems.

Here are just a price tag in this case is quite different order.

conclusions

In fairness it should be noted that the bona fide producers of compliance issues arise technologies, as well as accessories with quality. And those same schools are relevant when ordering turnkey virtually all homes and other structures, and to get to the money, time and nerves and can karkasnikom, and gazoblochnym or brick house. And "treatment" standard here - strict control at every stage. In itself technology of modular housing is attractive enough in many respects and promising. Another thing is that to prepare for the construction of the need to carefully select the manufacturer and not from the position of the lowest rates, but in terms of a reasonable value for money.
