Design and construction of frame houses
My name is Andrey, I design and build frame houses in the Moscow region.If you need a frame house, write to meThis e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
Design
- Price sections architectural AR and constructive solution KR 3 00 rub per m² floor area per floor (detailed drawings for construction and bill of materials). Sample project (download).
- Prices for HV (Heating and Ventilation), VK (Water Supply and Sewerage), Electricity (EO) sections - I will be able to give an accurate answer after discussing the type of system and equipment selected.
Construction
- The cost of construction is determined on an individual basis and depends on the complexity of the project, the area of the house, the type of truss system and materials.
- You already have a project and you know exactly how your dream home should look like, but the calculations and dimensions are made taking into account other building materials. Don't worry, there is a way out. I can remake your project for the construction of a cottage using Canadian or Finnish frame technology. The 3D model of the project allows you to see what the house will look like before construction begins. The project will be adapted to the climatic conditions of your region.Send me an email with general floor plans and facade views, I will be able to respond with a cost and design time. A freehand drawing or a link to a project you like is enough. For example, below is a sketch of the 1st floor, which was sent to me, and the layout, which we agreed with the customer.
- The terms and the price suit me, I send you a small questionnaire to fill out in order to choose materials, window and door sizes, ceiling height, roof shape. We discuss and choose frame technology for design: Canadian, Finnish, passive with double walls.
- The next design stage is the coordination of layouts and the location of window, door and stairwell openings.
- Designing a frame house in 3D. You will receive a three-dimensional model. By switching scenes and layers, you can independently look at the future project from all sides. There are always new ideas, we make changes.
- I count the materials (boards and slabs for the frame).
- I make drawings of walls, ceilings, truss system
- If you have any questions during construction, I can help you with advice.
What to look for when ordering a frame house design
- foundation type
Decide on : pile, tape, slab, ground floor. The choice is influenced by the budget and soil of the site. The ground floor, of course, will be more expensive. The tape on non-rocky sandy soils can be shallow. For clay, it is better to choose a pile foundation with pile extensions at the bottom to prevent the piles from being pushed out when the soil freezes. A monolithic foundation slab serves not only as a foundation, but it can immediately be laid with a water heating system for underfloor heating.
- If the foundation is already on the site
Quantity determined only by the quality of the already existing foundation. If the surface of the tape is uneven, then 2 boards of the bottom trim will be required to level the base for the construction of the platform. In all other options, one bottom trim board is sufficient.
- Choice of frame technology
From a board with a section of 150 x 50 mm, it meets all energy saving standards for Central Russia and is ideal for a country cottage that the family uses on weekends and vacations. In Canada, a 150mm insulated stud wall is the standard for insulating.
Attic or cold attic
When designing two-story frame houses, we choose between a full-fledged second floor with a cold attic and a residential attic. atticsare very popular in Russia, but I recommend evaluating how comfortable it is for you to live in rooms with sloping ceilings. This is the most important criterion when choosing whether to make the attic residential or not.
- Subfloor slabs
When erecting it is very important whether osb-3 boards or plywood with a tongue and groove lock or with a straight edge will be used. If in your area you can buy only ordinary sheets with a straight edge, then additional blocks should be installed between the lags for attaching subfloor slabs to them. In the figure on the left, the osb-3 subfloor slabs are tenon-groove without blocks. The right picture is a straight edge osb-3 and blocks for fastening between the lags.
- Rack step and floor lag
And the floor lag depends on the size of the osb-3 boards or plywood that you plan to buy. For European plates 2500 x 1250 mm, the pitch of the racks is 625.5 mm, for the log 417 mm. If the Canadian size 2440 x 1220 mm is available, then the pitch of the racks is 610.5 mm, 407 mm. I recommend spending a little time before ordering a design and deciding on the materials that you will buy. Please note that in the figure below, the frame racks match the dimensions of the osb-3 sheathing plate.
- Roof material
The type of roofing affects the design of the truss system. For a metal tile, a crate is required , for soft tiles you need a base in the form of osb-3 boards or plywood. In the figure on the right, there is a counter-lattice and a crate for mounting a metal tile. On the right - osb-3 will be installed on the rafters for the installation of soft tiles.
- Door opening dimensions
It should be chosen taking into account the purpose of the room. For bedrooms and living rooms, at least 900 mm, to install doors with a leaf of 800 mm. In this case, there will be no problems with the drift of furniture. For technical premises (bathrooms, wardrobes, hallways), I recommend doorways of at least 800 mm under a 700 mm door leaf.
The entrance door usually has a lower threshold, which increases the opening height to 2100 mm. Width not less than 900 mm. Remember that all furniture will have to be brought in through the front door.
- Heating source
If you plan to conduct gas, then the boiler room must meet the requirements of the gas workers. If type gas, I will design a boiler room taking into account the requirements for lighting, ceiling height, room volume and doorway sizes.
- Ceiling height
The height of the ceiling, which is measured from the subfloor to the bottom surface of the ceiling joists, I recommend choosing based on the size of the drywall. My experience shows that it is optimal to put the sheets vertically. In this case, a thinned edge is puttied and an inconspicuous seam is obtained. For example, if you buy sheets measuring 2500 x 1200 mm, then the height of the room is 2530 mm. Drywall is attached to the ceiling 12 mm + 2500 mm drywall sheet length on + 18 mm clearance for the finished floor (laminate, parquet board). As a result, after the completion of the interior decoration, the ceiling height will be 2.5 m. If you are planning a sheet of 3000 x 1200 mm, then the height from the subfloor to the log is recommended to be 3030 mm.
The height from the subfloor to the top of the window sill depends on what size radiators will be installed under the horses. With a radiator height of 600 mm, at least 900 mm must be laid. The height of the windows is limited only by the height of the room itself.
- Roof overhangs
Roof eaves protect from the sun and rain, but in addition to their mass, they can be loaded with the weight of snow on the roof. Usually overhangs of 600 mm can be designed without problems. Overhangs of 800 mm or more will require diagonal supports, which you can see on German half-timbered houses and French chateaus.
Architectural section of the project
If you decide to build a frame house, but have not yet decided on the choice of project, you can order an architectural project that takes into account all your needs. Introductory information is required from you:
- size;
- number of floors;
- adaptation to the terrain;
- number of rooms, their purpose;
- garage or terrace.
The choice of architectural style during design is influenced, first of all, byyour personal preference. However, some technical parameters should be taken into account:
- the presence of an attic or a cold attic room;
- the presence of a porch or terrace, their location;
- type of roof (gable, tent, broken, etc.).
Visualization of a 3D model will allow you to see how the building will be and make changes in advance.
If you are interested in knowing how a 3D model looks like in SketchUp, then you can see an example project
Frame houses - modern technologies in construction
Frame houses in St. Petersburg, Moscow and all of Russia, successfully builds SK "Yel"
In Russia, they prefer brick houses to others, refusing traditional wood. And what can we say about the relatively new frame housing construction for Russia. However, the frame - as a way to build a house has been used in Russia for a long time.
After all, what is a frame house? The base, which is filled with filler. Adobe houses in Russia are also a frame.
But let's leave the past. Questions of a modern customer building a house:
- quality,
- construction speed,
- price.
According to these parameters, a frame house is the best choice. With modern construction technologies, several generations live in such a house, the durability of the frame with proper operation is 150 years.
When choosing a contractor, pay attention to the operating time of the company in the market of wooden housing construction, this is a guarantee of quality.
About company: SK "EL" has been building wooden houses for 15 years, has its own production. The quality of work is confirmed by customer reviews. On the company's website you will find hundreds of ready-made projects of frame houses. Developers will change the project to your requirements or prepare project documentation based on sketches.
- The speed of erection is the advantage of the frame. Since the house does not shrink, the structures are light, any type of foundation is suitable, including a pile-screw foundation, on which the frame is assembled immediately.
- Another advantage is that a house is being built in any area and on any soil, and therefore it is not necessary to order soil studies.
- And, of course, reasonable prices. You can always choose a convenient option.
More about frame house
The frame is the key word, this is the basis, it is made of various materials. Now, frame houses and baths are very popular in St. Petersburg, Moscow, Russia and not only, but also in Europe, the Crimea.
The frame gaps are filled with insulation, which differs in price and thermal insulation characteristics, but is made of environmentally friendly material.
The outer part of the house is upholstered with a water-repellent material (often drywall), then sheathed with a finishing material at the request of the customer (siding, fiber cement boards, thermal panels). The interior of the frame house is finished with any material.
Turnkey frame house. Projects and prices
The site has projects of houses of various architectural forms and layouts. Before making a choice, we suggest looking at frame houses - photos and layouts are presented in the project. You will choose a house for yourself and your family, in which it will be warm and cozy, and you will orient yourself in prices.
The projects contain photos of facades, sometimes some elements that will interest you. See the video for the construction of a frame house.
If you have any questions, call the managers of the company in touch. We do the calculation of the frame house for free.
Is it easy to buy a frame house?
Despite the apparent simplicity, making a choice is not so easy. Why? The housing construction market is represented by many companies. Which one to choose?
So, having entered the desired word, you started the search, selected several attractive sites. And then what to do?
Pay attention to what the company does. If it offers houses made of brick, wood, log cabins, it is probably a subcontractor. You can't do everything! Nobody says that subcontracting is necessarily bad. But more expensive.
The guarantee of the quality of the material provided will be the presence of the company's own production. This reduces the cost of the final product and allows you to quickly replace components.
Look at the reviews. If they are not, then it is likely that the company is young. Negative reviews are not always evidence of poor performance, perhaps they are competitors, although dissatisfied customers can also be. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to please everyone. But if there are a lot of negative reviews, then, despite the assurances of the performer, it is still worth considering.
It does not hurt to watch the presented videos about the company, where you can see the behavior of the construction team workers and qualifications.
See form and delivery time. It is important to know the rules for concluding contracts, the accuracy of deadlines, quality control at the construction stages.
Look at the provision of workers with housing, if there is at least a temporary hut on the site, you will have to order an additional change house.
It is very good if there is an opportunity to communicate with one of the former customers. But this, unfortunately, is almost unrealistic, unless you were advised by this company by friends who have already built a house.
Is a frame house comfortable for living?
Frame buildings are common in Germany, Great Britain, Canada and the USA. Up to 70% of country cottages were built using such technologies in these countries.
Do you think this indicates the convenience of the houses?
Subtlety: it is better if the frame structure is erected by specialists. Assembling a frame structure so that it stands for many years is not an easy task. Masters will do it faster and better.
The layout in a frame house is not limited by anything, so you arrange everything the way you want. If you use the tips of the planners, this will be the perfect home.
Frame house and photo
Frame house - photos of buildings are presented in large numbers on the websites of companies that are engaged in construction. And every time there are more of them. The houses differ in architectural solutions, and the exterior decoration of the two buildings, which were built according to the same project, makes them unique.
If your house differs from the photo on the project, then only for the better.
Surely you mentally drew yourself a dream house. Frame housing construction will make the dream come true with the lowest material costs.

Frame house on video
Frame houses are the most prefabricated. A team of specialists will assemble the structure in 20-30 days (including the pile foundation). The assembly takes place according to the instructions, step by step, observing the assembly technology of the nodes - this is important.
The owners of the future home want to be aware of what is happening at the construction site. After watching the video, you will have an idea about each stage of the assembly. However, the foreman will not refuse to tell about everything in detail.
Frame house: construction technology. General principles
Traditionally, frame housing construction technologies are divided into three types:
- Canadian wooden house;
- German technologies;
- frame-frame technologies.
The stages of construction are the same: foundation, frame, roof, walls, floors, decoration.
Since the structure of the frame is light, any foundation will do: pile-screw, tape shallow, columnar (set on unstable soils) and even tiled.
The first two types are optimal, pile-screw is used for quick construction.
Framework - any, wood, metal, reinforced concrete is used. Our company recommends wood as a reliable and environmentally friendly material.
Next, a multi-layer sheathing is applied to the frame (waterproofing film, vapor barrier diffuse membrane, mineral wool insulation, foam-type insulation, wood chip sheets - OSB and finishing material for the outer and inner skin). This cladding gives the house excellent thermal insulation characteristics.
Regardless of the technology chosen, take care of the roof. The roof is insulated with hard mineral wool slabs. For additional insulation, a layer of expanded clay is poured onto the floor of the attic.
Calculation of a frame house
Calculate the amount of materials needed for the construction of a frame house will help on the company's website. But it doesn’t hurt to know that this is not the final cost, because the calculation does not include earthworks (excavator, gravel and sand for work) and bringing communications to the house (water, sewerage, electrics).
Take care of this in advance, since some work takes place simultaneously (for example, external sewer and plumbing pipes and it is better to lay at the same time as the foundation, do electrical wiring before the outer casing).
Think about heating, if it is gas, then draw up the documents no later than the start of construction.
A detailed list of materials with their cost is indicated in the estimate. This list is long, here are just some of the materials: metal pillars for the foundation, reinforcement of different diameters, boards of different cross-sectional areas, ligament, concrete for screed, waterproofing and vapor barrier film, various sheets of plywood, OSB, roofing iron or other material for roofing, siding or other upholstery, nails, staples, hardware, corners, drainage system, mineral wool, foam ... When building a house, you also need finishing floors, windows, doors ...
A detailed calculation of the materials that will be needed for the construction of the house will be made by the designer. We removed the calculator from the site, because the exact calculations are done by a specialist. And approximate ones are confusing.
A common mistake: for example, the calculation showed that a certain number of cubic meters of board would be needed for the roof rafters. A person believes that this is the final figure, but does not take into account that the material is supplied in certain sizes, a cut board is not suitable for such work. For example, if a board of 3 m is required, but is supplied in 3.5 m, then 0.5 meters will be cut from each board. Boards are not enough.
His it better: to buy a turnkey frame house or build it in stages?
The choice of the best option is in your hands. Why?
A turnkey house is more attractive, but not everyone can afford to buy it right away.
You can leave the frame house unfinished.
Options:
- foundation for the winter;
- foundation, frame and roof (in this case, floors do not need to be laid);
- foundation, frame, roof and external cladding with waterproofing and wind protection;
- foundation, frame, roof and external cladding with waterproofing and wind protection, ceilings and floors, partitions.
It is undesirable to leave a frame house for the winter with windows and doors. The rest is not bad, to some extent there are pluses in this: jambs will be revealed by the next season, if any. Many projects of frame houses were built in St. Petersburg and Moscow on a turnkey basis with finishing.
Important! When building a frame house, follow the rules and regulations, building codes are collected in SP 31-105-2002. Frame technology does not forgive mistakes.
