First of all, it is necessary to decide on the requirements for a timber house – the number and size of rooms, the number of bathrooms, the size of the kitchen, the garage, the veranda or the balcony.
Next, you need to decide on the project of the house. You can, of course, buy a finished project. But the main drawback of such projects is that they are designed for some average needs. In addition, in typical projects, houses often provide for an excessive margin of safety. If you count the characteristics, taking into account the real conditions, you can make a future house from a beam is much cheaper. Better to order an individual project.
After the project of the house from the beam is agreed, and all the necessary permits have been received (in order to do it faster, it is worth contacting a specialized company), the construction of the house itself begins. The most important stage is the foundation laying. When choosing a foundation, it is necessary to take into account all the features of the soil on the site.
Next – walls from the beam. Now many people prefer to build houses from a profiled timber. This material is much more economical than ordinary bricks. In addition, this material has a minimum shrinkage. This makes it possible to immediately start finishing work. It must be remembered: the cost of the exterior decoration of the facade depends mainly on the quality of the construction and preparation of the beam.
Then there is a roof. To build a roof, you should contact professional roofers. They competently mount all supporting structures. As a coating now, many choose a metal tile. This is a durable and inexpensive material that protects the wooden beam well. It is very important to ensure the possibility of cleaning the roof. For this, the drainage system, as well as snow retainers and ramps, should be provided.
After the house from the beam is ready, you can start laying engineering communications – an electrician, sewage pipes, water supply and heating.
External and internal finishing work on the timber can be carried out simultaneously. For exterior decoration, the plastered facade, insulation “for siding” or “well” masonry with facing bricks are most often used. The basement is most often finished with artificial stone. This is aesthetic, reliable material.
Of course, building a beautiful and environmentally friendly house from a beam is a difficult and not cheap thing. But the result is worth!
