In modern conditions, the assertion that it is not worth building in the winter is no longer relevant, because the current technologies and materials make winter construction not so costly, simplify it, which allows you to work even at minus temperatures.
The problem of poor solidification of the cement mortar, which used to be one of the main ones in the cold in the cold season, can now be easily solved using antimoosis additives – plasticizers. They accelerate the hardening process and are added to solutions if the air temperature reaches -10-5 degrees Celsius.
The construction of the foundation in winter will be more effective if concrete based on Portland cement, which provides faster solidification of the solution. In this case, the foundation is recommended either monolithic or on stilts – this also simplifies the process of winter construction. It should be noted that the foundation built in winter will not float and will not deform, since the cold is dehydrated, as a result of which it becomes more solid and dense. But the development of the soil in the cold season is more time -consuming, but various technologies allow you to cope with this problem.

Monolithic materials allow you to save not only time, but also money – their price is an order of magnitude different from the price for traditional building materials.
In autumn and winter, builders and building materials are not in demand like in the summer, so construction companies offer customers significant discounts for all services. Construction teams are the same. However, do not forget that in the cold of a person gets tired faster, the probability of marriage may increase, so you will have more time to take construction control. In addition, construction in winter needs additional processes. So, winter brick masonry is also carried out by the use of electric heaters.
Another problem is to ensure the conditions for workers, the equipment of the heated room for them. As for the tools, it is recommended to use working from the network in negative temperatures, since the cold can lead to a breakdown of batteries.
Winter is a great time for building wood, since during this period the moisture content of the tree is at the minimum level, which reduces the degree of deformation, and the cold allows you to reduce the risk of mold and insects.
Thus, winter construction is not a taboo at all, but in some cases it can even bring benefits at all and will save part of the funds without reducing the quality.
