How frame houses are built in America. Interior layout of American houses

Let's start talking about the technology of building houses in Houston, where it all begins, how the area is being gentrified, how houses are built and what materials are used.

So, construction begins with a master plan for the area. The area is not only houses, the area also includes an irrigation system, sewerage, wastewater treatment plants, roads, recreational infrastructure (paths for walking, jogging and cyclists, swimming pools open air, tennis courts, football fields, basketball courts, children's playgrounds and simply open park areas with artificial lakes with fountains and water channels, as well as large fenced areas for walking dogs). The entire area, in turn, is divided into districts of approximately 90 - 150 houses (we will see the district plan a little later). The infrastructure is being created separately for several districts so that people do not “crowd”. The entire area will benefit from an already built system of shops, banks, hospitals and other public institutions, which were built in advance to take into account the ongoing development of the area and the increase in population.

Construction begins with a clean field in which all communications are laid, gas pipes, plumbing, electrical cables, telephone communications. First everything is connected to substations. A tractor for digging trenches (in the previous photo there is a pipe layer).

Then from the substations all communications are brought to panel houses. All electrical equipment is hidden in a box that will be located in the corner of the backyard of the house. The red pipe does not mean hot water, it supplies cold water, A hot water it is not supplied to the house, because every house will have a gas or electric boiler. Green pipe with a cap - this is a gas line, later it will be hidden, but for now it sticks out like a marker.

After all communications have been laid, the irrigation system is being prepared, and in Houston it is given Special attention, because Houston is susceptible tropical showers and hurricanes. Usually the depth of artificial reservoirs is about 10-12 meters. All reservoirs have a system of sluices and canals for water drainage.

Shores artificial reservoir concreted at the tailwater level to protect and prevent erosion. To prevent water from washing away the concrete, part of the ground near the concrete strip is reinforced with clay and crushed stone. Just recently passed heavy rain, and water pumps pump water out of the canals.

Then roads and sewers are built. Roads provide quick and convenient access for construction equipment, and also prevent the spread of dirt from construction sites. Sandbags are placed near all sewer drains; their purpose is to retain dirt during rains and prevent clogging of drain pipes. Sewage pipes are plastic, the pipe diameter starts from 60 cm, increasing with the length of the sewer. The pipes begin to be laid at a depth of 1.5 meters; accordingly, the depth also increases with the length of the system. Pipes are laid at an angle of 0.18%. As a rule, there are no sewer grates, instead there are open water intakes, inside of which there is a sewer shaft measuring approximately 2x2 meters. By the way, I note that, if possible, all pipes are located not under the road, but next to it, although all repairs are carried out from the mines.

Then everything is installed road signs. Marking road surface absent in residential areas, because The speed limit here is 20 km/h. There are also no speed limit signs; the speed is specified in the traffic rules. Previously, I was asked about the height of the curb - it is 15 cm. The thickness of the concrete screed on the road is 21 cm.

It is very interesting to drive through such areas with all the signs posted, but a complete absence of houses. Let's pay attention to the grass strip laid along the curb; it prevents dirt from being washed out from the lawn onto the street during rain.

Russian designer dated.

All surfaces that may be scratched, damaged, or become dirty during the construction process are covered.

In Russia they still don’t know how to make hatches on the roads. Oh no no no.

Then the sites for the houses are prepared. 20-30 houses are being built at the same time. They are mostly built side by side, which makes cleaning easier. construction waste, and does not bother those who have already moved in and live in the houses that have been built. Exceptions are houses that were purchased in advance on certain areas. To lay the foundation, soil one meter deep is removed and covered with a layer of gravel, sand and clay, all this is compacted, then a cap like this is obtained on top. I note that such a trick is only possible in Texas due to the very clayey soil. For example, in the northern United States they lay deep strip foundation.

Then communications are brought to the house (gas, cold water, sewerage, electrical cable and etc.)

The formwork for the foundation is being assembled. All foundations are solid, monolithic, the clay soil allows them to be made relatively thin, the thickness of the screed is about 25-30 cm, with “columns” 1.5 meters.

Ordinary the average size foundation - 20 by 15 meters.

Then the ground is covered with thick, dense plastic, and reinforcement with a diameter of 10 to 16 mm is laid. It is laid every 3-4 meters, “cross to cross”, with the exception of certain places, for example, a garage, the entrance to a house, a section of the foundation, here it is laid a little differently, depending on the design of the house.

The reinforcement will be stretched before pouring; seven days after pouring, the load will be slowly removed

The foundation is poured without stopping until the work is completed. The permissible strength of concrete is from 60 to 90 MPa.

Freshly poured screed. The protruding plates are duralumin anchors (anchors) for walls.

The concrete is periodically watered with water, thereby preventing the formation of cracks in it.

Crib.

Then the walls are marked on the poured screed and assembly begins wooden frame Houses.

All bearing structures houses are made of wood, usually boards 15x5, 20x7 cm are used.

Then the boards are covered with plywood 2 cm thick.

It is worth noting that everything wood materials for the construction of houses, they are pre-treated with certain mixtures and oils to protect against insects and water. At the same time these chemical compositions not harmful to human health.

All materials are secured with nails and metal anchors. Screws and bolt ties are also used, mainly on critical “nodes”. The timber is practically not used; it is replaced by several boards nailed together.

After the frame of the house is completed, communications begin inside. Future kitchen sink. Used for sewerage plastic pipes diameter 6 cm.

Also, the house inside begins to “overgrow” various elements, for example, a bar counter.

Communications are carried out inside the walls.

Electrical work is being carried out.

Black wire is television, yellow is electrical, white is internet.

A ventilation system is installed in the attic to heat and cool the home. In fact, it is a soft fiberglass pipe. On top it has a shell made of non-flammable fiberglass, under which glass wool is hidden, inside which there is a soft aluminum pipe. Today such ventilation pipes used wherever the air flow speed does not exceed 30 m/s. At a higher air circulation speed, a more rigid one is used. ventilation system.

Output to the room.

Water node. For water, plastic pipes with a diameter of 13 mm are used, which can withstand a pressure of 0.7 MPa and a temperature of 95 C.

Bathroom and toilet.

Then the fireplace is installed. All the fireplaces in this house were gas, they are much easier to install, because... they do not require brickwork and problems with valves. In some houses, real fireplaces are built upon the buyer's request.

By the way, a gas fireplace heats up the house quite well. Although, of course, it cannot be compared with a real fireplace.

Then the walls are sheathed with plywood on one side, glass wool is inserted into the openings on the other side, after which the wall is also covered with plywood. The plywood is then covered with plasterboard. I note that the sound insulation in the house is very good, despite the apparent flimsiness of the walls, and the screams of zombies from the nursery are not at all audible in the living room, as is the loud TV in the bedroom. Thanks to the quality glass wool.

Then the drywall is puttied.

The future of the hot tub. Gathering various designs inside the house.

Shower cubicle.

Garage.

Then the windows are inserted. The external part of the house is sheathed with additional soundproofing and insulating polystyrene panels (blue on the left), with an R value of 3, the thickness of these panels is 13 mm. The top of the panels will be covered with a layer of thick plastic and roofing felt (black on the right).

The windows used in construction are "southern" windows and can only be used in Texas, Louisiana, Florida, southern California, Arizona and New Mexico. The windows have a U value of 2, a heating coefficient of 0.23, and a light transmittance of 0.43.

Finally the time comes brickwork.

Decorative brick, ASTM - SW standard. In addition to brick, stone is also used.

For an American a private house- indicator of success. Living in the suburbs, where neighbors know each other, in silence, away from the noise of the metropolis, is much more prestigious than even in the center of New York. At the same time, a typical American house differs from a traditional Russian one. Let's try to understand the main differences.

Let's start with the construction process. The technology adopted in the USA involves the construction of a frame from wooden frames, on which sheets of OSB or plywood are attached. There is insulation between them. The walls are hollow, making communications easy. In addition, such lightweight walls do not require a solid foundation; the construction process is simpler and cheaper. Redevelopment is also easy - no reinforced concrete that will have to be hammered. However, such an American house is more expensive to operate - it is more difficult to cool it in the summer and heat it in the winter than a solid one made of cinder block or brick.

Most likely, when you enter a typical American home, you will be greeted by a staircase like this, leading to the second floor, which is more private and is traditionally where the bedrooms are located. A closed corridor or a separate hall, where it is customary to take off shoes and leave outerwear, in American homes most often there is simply no such thing.

The kitchen in American homes is usually open and spacious, often with an island for cooking. It is noteworthy that already ready-made houses can be sold unfurnished in other rooms, but always with built-in kitchen set and equipment that it is not customary to take with you when moving.

The kitchen - dining room - living room in general usually constitute one room, occupying almost the entire first floor. An American woman, when choosing a house, will most likely immediately say - I want to cook and look after the children or communicate with guests. Such an open plan is now becoming more and more common in Russia, but is far from being so popular.

A two- or three-car garage, which often becomes part of the ground floor and has a separate entrance directly into the house, is another difference American home. There are usually at least two cars in a family, because a housewife living in the suburbs also needs something to get to work, take her child to training or to kindergarten.

Clothes drying machines are rare in Russian homes, as are separate room-laundry. In American homes, a special pantry is usually allocated for these two units, hiding the equipment from guests. Often a laundry and drying room is located on the second floor, near the bedrooms, or in the basement. Washing machine in the kitchen or bathroom, which is often found in Russian small houses, will cause great surprise to the American.

Residential basement. For the average Russian, a basement is a cellar where potatoes and pickles are stored, supplies for the winter. For an American basement often becomes a full-fledged additional floor. Can be located here home cinema, guest room with another small kitchen, “man’s den” of the owner of the house, bar, games room.

Master bathroom. IN American home There are usually as many bathrooms as there are bedrooms. Or even more - a separate bathroom can be located on the ground floor for guests. Of course, it is not necessary that the bathroom be attached to the living room like in the photo, but it must be adjacent to the master bedroom.

As for children's rooms, there are no significant differences in size and design. However, in the USA it is customary for each child to have a separate room. Therefore, an addition to the family often becomes the reason for moving to a more spacious house or remodeling. Yes, and children's bedrooms usually have their own separate bathroom, even just one for two.

Leaving guests on the living room couch overnight is not an American tradition. A spacious home usually has a separate guest bedroom with everything you need, although not very large, but functional, great for friends and family.

Built-in wardrobes and dressing rooms. Another attribute of a typical American home. Free-standing wardrobes have not taken root in this country; a lot of space is required for clothes and shoes, so the master bedroom is often adjacent to a dressing room, and the remaining rooms have built-in closets for a lot of things.

Barbecue area. An American house usually has two courtyards - in front of the house and in the back, hidden from the eyes of passers-by and neighbors. It is in the backyard, even a small one, that there will be a barbecue area - a typical pastime for an American family on warm summer evenings.

And finally - in the USA, a family rarely buys a house with the thought: “This is where my children will live.” Mortgages are available, the country is large, and there may be many reasons to move. Therefore, the attitude towards houses and apartments is somewhat different - not for centuries, but while it is convenient for me and my family, a lot can change in ten years. In addition, let us clarify that the above differences relate to traditions that have developed historically. Modern Russian mansions are often even larger than American ones and have similar characteristics.

The typical home is not only the “standard design” popular in America, but also the home that the average American family can afford. For an example, I went to a real estate website and looked for houses within a 30-mile radius around me.

Photo Depositphotos

By the way, I searched for a long time because the photos are bad. Americans don’t really bother taking photographs, since everyone roughly knows what’s inside. You'll still have to go and see. I have selected a couple of houses costing up to $200 thousand, and using them as examples I will tell you about a typical American house.

The ad text 3 Bed, 3 Bath means that the house has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms with toilets. And besides this - a living room, a utility room, a garage.

The most common house design in the USA. Photo realtor.com

I lived in almost one of these and know the structure of the house well. On the right is a garage for 2 cars, and the garage is quite long and spacious. On the left is the entrance and a small porch. A tiny front garden, by default the builders plant rose hips there. We go into the house.

The hall in the house is the default. Photo realtor.com

On the left is the entrance door, immediately from it there is a staircase to the second floor. In the hall there are windows overlooking the “front yard,” that is, the area in front of the house. In the first photo, these are the same windows to the left of the front door, are you oriented?

If we reach the opposite wall of the house, we will exit through the glass sliding door to the “back yard”, that is, to the back yard.

A typical home has doors to the front yard and back yard. Photo realtor.com

A microwave oven is attached to the wall above the stove - this is often done now. This seems inconvenient to me, because it is simply dangerous to lower the hot stuff from above. There must be lighting above the stove and a hood with a fan at 2 speeds.

When renting out a house, as a rule, everything is already built in, except for the refrigerator. Or maybe they are already building in a refrigerator. To the right of the sink is a dishwasher - “dish washer”. The sink itself must have a built-in waste shredder - “disposal”.

In the kitchen there is a door to the basement or “basement”. Builders usually rent it out with cement walls. But you can turn this basement into candy. For example, like this:

The basement is arranged as the owners' imagination dictates. Photo realtor.com

Usually in the basement suspended ceilings, and to the right and left there are long white doors - these are built-in storage rooms. In general, I didn’t see anything in the basements: bars, game rooms, gyms, workshops.

Let's go back to the first floor. Here, in addition to the hall with the kitchen, there are other rooms. Some have a playroom for children. Often one of these side rooms has a fireplace, TV and armchairs.

Classic lounge. Photo realtor.com

This is a classic of the genre - a relaxation room with a fireplace and a TV on the wall. And in this picture there is already the second floor - one of the bedrooms.

Master bedroom. Photo realtor.com

Most likely, this is the parent's bedroom, that is, the “master bedroom”. It differs in that it comes with its own toilet and bathtub. There is often a double sink there, so as not to quarrel in the morning.

Photo realtor.com

All toilets must have ventilation. Turns on next to the light. The remaining bedrooms (children's) have a shared toilet. Americans always try to ensure that each child has his own room.

A mandatory room in a typical American home is the “landry room,” that is, the room in which the washing machine and dryer are located.

Photo realtor.com

This room is small, just outside the door from the garage. Finally, look at the back of this house.

Photo realtor.com

Apparently, the bedrooms here are small. On the ground floor there is a small kitchen window. They always make him so small.

There are moments that were not included in the photo. Every room must have a smoke detector hanging on the wall or ceiling. And now they are obligated to hang a CO indicator, that is, carbon monoxide. This is the so-called carbon monoxide without color and odor, which is precisely what poisons you if you close the stove too early. All these sensors howl terribly if something is on fire in the house. And they only fall silent when you have thoroughly aired everything out.

These indicators have another unpleasant property. When the battery starts to run low, they beep. At night - that's it! You get up, pull the battery out of it and put a new one in in the morning.

I haven't talked about lighting yet. There are a lot of switches in the house. The simplest example is that you entered the house, turned on the light, undressed and took off your shoes and went straight up to the second floor. There is a second switch there that can be used to turn off the light on the stairs. And there are plenty of such “paired” or even triple switches throughout the house.

Both houses that I described are not far from me and from Chicago. The one I mainly talked about costs about $190 thousand, the second one costs about $170. Approximately, because you can always bargain and come to an agreement.

In the early 2000s, the widow of a local farmer sold the farm to a local builder, who bulldozed the peach and apple orchards, built a road and communications, divided the territory into plots and managed to build several houses. Then the 2008 crisis began, real estate prices collapsed and no one built anything for almost 10 years. The builder went bankrupt because... Most of the plots remained unsold. The bank selected this project and sold it at auction to another builder. IN Lately house prices in our district have almost returned to the level of 2006-2007 and construction has begun again.

In Michigan, like many other northern states, only stick built houses are built and most often with a full size basement.

Another construction project has recently begun in our district. This is what a typical construction site looks like. A plot of land with pre-connected communications was purchased for approximately $50,000. Construction materials and a bulldozer sit alone without any security or fence.

This is what the trusses for the first floor flooring look like. Except for the basement walls, everything will be made of wood.

This foundation was poured about 2 weeks ago and now the process of installing the base beams begins. Waterproofing in the form of thin foam rubber.

Under the concrete floor of the basement, sewer and water pipes have already been laid in advance.

The far room will be a bedroom (there is a full-size window), next to it is a bathroom. Usually when building a new home the basement is left unfinished, but in this case the customer seemed to want the complete package. Also in the basement it will be installed in the utility room central system air heating and cooling.

The average cost to build this type of home is $130-150 per square foot. In this area there is a rule not to build houses smaller than 2,000 square meters. ft. Homes in the neighborhood are currently listed for $395,000 and $499.00.

About two weeks after the basement walls were poured, a framing contractor's trailer showed up. Very often the builder you hire doesn't build much himself. He simply gives the work to qualified contractors (framers, electricians, plumbers, etc.) and usually adds 10-30% on top of their price for his profit. You yourself do not have the right to build a house without a special builder's license.

At a construction site, a local building inspector will visit periodically, or rather in stages, to check the structure's compliance with local building codes. For example, after installing electrical wiring or plumbing, they wait for an inspector before continuing with the installation of drywall on walls and ceilings.

Naturally, the services of inspectors are not free, and before starting a project, the local district council must obtain a building permit. The amount is about 1.5% of the project cost. Those. for this house the cost of permitting and inspections was about $3,000.

And although the process of erecting the frame has just begun, roof trusses, assembled at a local sawmill, have already been delivered. As before, no one bothers to fence the construction site with a fence and hire a watchman with angry dog. Another interesting point is that in this district, according to local rules, long-term construction is prohibited. The house must be completed within one year.

In less than a couple of weeks, the frame house had already taken its shape. A garage for three cars in a new style, with the letter “L”, you can already see where the bedrooms, bathrooms and toilets will be.

Roof trusses were installed and sheathing of external walls and roof slopes with chipboard panels began. Even after 20 years of living in America, it is sometimes difficult to look at such a structure made of matches and believe that it will work strong house. However, I myself live in a similar frame structure, although mine is lined with brick.

But if you think about it like that, a framer is like a broom. An individual straw is easy to break, but if you twist everything together, it will bend but not break. Although hurricanes are a rare occurrence in our area, the winds are sometimes severe and do not blow off the roofs of houses.

Please note that the chipboard panels are lined like our checkered math notebooks. This is specifically for standard size the location of the vertical beams so that nails can hit the board and not get where they need to go without looking or trying it on.

It seems that the builder himself has not yet appeared at this construction site, only the contractors for digging the pit and pouring the basement walls, as well as the framer - the comrade who assembled this miracle of the enemy construction technologies. The next stage is most likely the installation of asphalt shingles on the roof, then they will transport and install windows and doors. The situation with external cladding walls - either plastic siding or brick.

IN this moment I am following two projects in our district. The second one still only has foundation walls, but this one is confidently moving forward.

Windows and doors have been installed. The walls and roof are covered with a special film. The roof will most likely receive asphalt shingles, but the walls are not yet clear. They can cover it with bricks, decorative stone, plastic siding or in combination.

The pipe is most likely for the gas fireplace on the first floor (more for beauty than heating) and will also be lined with something. Inside this wooden box steel pipe. Propane will most likely be used for heating; for this purpose, a large tank with a capacity of about 100 liters will be installed next to the house. Propane prices are now around $2 per gallon.

Frame houses began to be built in America in the middle of the 17th century. But it took more than one century for people to accept these designs. Only by the 1900s did such houses begin to be built everywhere, and structures for buildings even began to be produced in factories. The structures manufactured in factories were sent to the desired location by rail. Everything included in the construction kit necessary materials to build a complete house. Peak popularity American frame houses received immediately after the end of World War II.

Perhaps this construction feature is explained by the fact that the house for a modern semi-urbanized resident of the United States is a temporary dwelling. Residents of this country change houses as often as apartments. And the most common reason for moving an entire family is the proximity of the house to a new place of work or a good school where the children will go. This attitude is difficult to compare with the Russian mentality. Our home owners try to build to last, so that not only children, but often even grandchildren can grow up in the house.

American children, after reaching adulthood, try to leave their parents' homes and live independently. But elderly residents of the United States can even sell their homes in order to travel around the world, and then settle in a decent nursing home.

How houses are built in the USA

American frame houses are two-story buildings built on a low foundation. In accordance with the general plan, communications and roads are laid in the village with frame houses. The next step is to excavate the soil under the cushions for the foundations of the houses. As a foundation, a surface slab of reinforced concrete is often poured, equipped with elements of finely buried strips.

Near front door There is often a terrace open type. And very often such houses are quite simple in architectural terms. The houses have light facades. Dark window shutters are used as decorative elements. The roof of the houses has a sloping shape. Located next to the house large garage. And if the size of the plot makes it possible, then in the courtyard of the house there is a swimming pool, a lawn for picnics, and sports equipment.

Design and layout

It is worth noting that the design of such a house is individual solution, which completely depends on the tastes of the owners. Layout frame houses V American style First of all, it implies practicality and comfort. A large living room that can accommodate the whole family is a must. Moreover, each family member can have personal space in the house. And most often in such a house there are several bathrooms for each family member.

There is an entrance to both the front and rear of the house. In addition, there is a special entrance that leads to a workshop or garage. Most often there is a fence on the neighbors side. Residential rooms are located on the second floor. On the ground floor there are most often additional rooms, such as a kitchen, dining room, hall, etc.

The basement of the house can be equipped according to the tastes of the owners. You can have a gym there, game room, a bar and even a library. In addition, each bedroom has a dressing room, bathroom and toilet.

The kitchen layout is always simple and convenient. Very often you can find the option of a kitchen-dining room. Built-in cabinets are used to store food and utensils.

The designs of such houses have undergone some changes due to development modern technologies. The material for construction has become more durable. This added benefits frame houses. This housing is not only economical and easy to construct. Such houses began to withstand more severe weather conditions.

After pouring the slab, the building frame itself is erected. A two-inch board can be used as load-bearing elements, fastened together into a so-called “sandwich” in areas of heavy loads.

Residents of America love and value space. In addition, they are very fond of fireplaces. Gas fireplaces natural fireplaces are often preferred.

Villages

Americans practically do not build private houses themselves. Such work often turns out to be very troublesome and expensive. For self-construction You need to collect a huge amount of paperwork and approvals. And so they choose more simple solutions and often buy ready-made houses in special areas or villages. If the village is just getting ready for development, future home owners can choose in advance one of standard projects and make changes to it to suit your taste.

Each such village has general plan, which describes the entire infrastructure. The plan describes all communications, road network, as well as a social destination. Such areas are divided into districts, each of which will have about 100 houses. This entire village will use pre-prepared infrastructure, including banks, kindergartens, shops, etc.

House construction technologies

After choosing a house project, you can decide on the technology for its construction. The most popular technologies are:

• panel or;
• modular frame housing construction.

Frame-panel is assembled from panels, panels or blocks, which are superimposed on a pre-prepared wooden frame. Panels can be made from various materials, including plywood, OSB boards, SIP panels and thermoblocks.

In case of self-construction, we often use OSB boards. Excellent heat-saving features are inherent in the thermoblock. It can be used advantageously in cold regions. SIP panels are made of polystyrene foam and OSB. It is believed that this design is the most durable.

Modular frame buildings are erected from ready-made factory modules. A special feature of such houses is the ability to assemble ready house directly at the factory and transport it ready-made to the site. Despite the fact that the house is assembled at a factory, all communications and, if desired, even furniture are provided!

Stages of construction of frame houses in America

First stage.

At the first stage of construction, the site is prepared. Everything unnecessary is removed: grass, stumps, etc. The site is marked for the foundation and trenches are created. Next, the foundation is installed. To do this, use either a fill concrete foundation, or screw piles.

Second phase.

After completing the construction of the foundation, the creation of a wooden frame begins. The frame is prepared in advance and impregnated with antiseptics and special compounds in order to avoid fires.

Third stage.

At the third stage, the roof is installed, which is subsequently covered roofing material, and then work is carried out on the internal and exterior decoration Houses. After the roof is ready, the frame is sheathed with a special OSB board. This cladding provides the structure with rigidity and integrity. Next on OSB boards mounted windproof membrane and waterproofing. At the final stage of finishing the house, heating, water supply and sewerage systems are installed, windows and doors are installed. The floors and walls in the house are insulated.

For exterior finishing any is used suitable material. You can use plaster, siding, clinker panel, or imitation tile. The absence of restrictions can be called the main advantage of a frame house.

Fourth stage.

At this stage, Finishing work, which are provided for in the design project. Ceilings are being installed, plumbing is being installed, furniture is being installed. As a rule, the construction of such a house takes about 2-3 months.

American style home decoration

After selection necessary technology and materials you can start choosing finishing materials. And in this regard frame technology provides complete freedom of choice, without restrictions. Each owner can choose materials to suit their taste.

Advantages of building American-style houses

American frame houses have numerous advantages, including:

• practical design;
• the shortest construction lines due to the absence of a deep foundation;
• environmental friendliness;
• minimal energy consumption for heating compared to brick houses;
• favorable price;
• warm walls, which also allow you to install windows during the construction stage and not wait for the house to shrink;
• possibility of extension additional premises to expand living space;
• frame houses can be built at any time of the year;
• frame houses are quite fireproof, since they are built from non-combustible insulation, and the frame is impregnated special composition(fire retardants).

Construction of houses frame type American technology is simple and fast. It is very profitable and can live up to any expectations. And it’s very easy to choose a project that fits any budget and time frame.
