Like much more, we prefer to build our housing ourselves. Or in extreme cases, at least control. Neither one nor the other can be made without the location of specific knowledge, especially during the development of the construction industry. Of course, there is an “eternal” – a slag block, a brick and concrete. But how much new! But there are unchanged principles, to retreat from them is inappropriate, we can say dangerous.
For example, the foundation. The choice of parameters and the design should be especially carefully calculated, repelled in the calculations is necessary from the type of foundation, freezing depth, the weight of the future building and groundwater level. Cottages, in our country, are most often built on tape foundations. They are strong and reliable, easily withstand heavy walls.
Ribbon foundations can be prefabricated or monolithic. Both have advantages and impose certain restrictions, so that your choice should proceed from their analysis and appropriate comparison of the possibilities.
For a monolithic, strip foundation, a boot, soil, iron – and bottlebells are used. Work on the installation of the foundation is performed in this order:
Soil excavation under a trench or pit;
Installation of formwork and waterproofing walls;
Reinforcement;
Bill concrete or concrete mixture.
Such simple operations, at first glance, require great professionalism of builders. You can build a cottage only after 3-4 weeks of the foundation.
Tape, assembly foundation from ready -made reinforced concrete or concrete blocks, factory manufacturing, requires much less time. But, for its device, a lifting technique is required. Blocks are brought to the site and laid using a crane in a trench, the seams are reinforced and sealed with a solution, at the same time the vertical of the styling is checked. If such a foundation is arranged on complex ground, a monolithic belt is performed on top. Concrete and reinforcement are used for the belt.
We conclude: a monolithic foundation is cheaper, but more complicated and longer, and the assembly foundation is more expensive, but faster and not much dependent on the human factor. There is a choice, but in both cases the most important thing is the correct calculation and quality of execution.
So that your cottage stood for a long time and is built correctly, order a turn -key basis for specialized company cottages with huge experience of work. You will get rid of spending free time and can do your business.
