• Quality and durability. Installation. On construction site they bring prepared elements of the future home and assemble them in accordance with the design documentation.
  • Energy efficiency. Allows you to save over 30% on heating a house made from panels. Buildings can be designed for climatic conditions up to -65 ˚С. According to SNiP II-3-79 “Construction Heat Engineering”, the heat transfer resistance of walls should, for example, in the Nizhny Novgorod region be at least 3.3 m2xg.S/W. The heat transfer resistance of our walls is 4.3 m2xg.S/W, which is 30% more than required.
  • Quick construction at any time of the year. Frame production panel houses ensures a 90% degree of factory readiness, reducing the period of installation of a house from panels to several days, and the total period of construction and turnkey finishing to several weeks. All components of the house (wall and ceiling panels, roofing elements) are produced in a closed workshop, at constant temperature and humidity, and are delivered to the construction site packed in protective films. A team of professionals can only assemble the house kit, firmly securing the panels to each other and to the foundation. None of the finished panels require any modification during installation. “Wet” construction processes, inevitable during most construction methods, are completely excluded in panel-frame technology, therefore the construction of a panel-frame house without the slightest loss of quality on a pre-prepared foundation is possible at any time of the year, even at sub-zero temperatures. The smooth surface of the walls also simplifies and reduces the cost of internal and external finishing turnkey panel houses.
  • Architectural diversity. Panel-frame technology allows you to implement a wide variety of architectural and planning solutions. Classic, compact and functional European house, a nice modern cottage in rustic style, exquisite country villa or stylized noble estate- all this may well be a comfortable and reliable panel-frame house.
  • Environmentally friendly. The wood of the frame is treated with antiseptics to prevent rotting. There are no chemical substances, glue and formaldehyde resins. The slabs are vapor permeable and thanks to this your house “breathes”.
  • Noise insulation. The airborne noise insulation index reaches 62 dB, which is 12 dB more than the norm.
  • Fire safety. Our wall panels have a third degree of fire resistance.

Panel-frame houses using German technology

The plant for the production of frame-panel houses is located in the Nizhny Novgorod region.

Unlike other prefabricated wooden frame technologies (“Canadian” modular), German panel-frame technology provides for high-tech production.

The production of houses is organized in such a way that the components of a low-rise building (walls, ceilings and other elements) are assembled not by workers at the construction site, but in factory workshops using modern automated equipment controlled by computer programs.

Only such production can guarantee a 2-3-day construction period for a comfortable, reliable and quality home(without finishing).

The essence of the technology is the construction of a house based on a frame made of spliced ​​timber. The frame inside is filled with modern environmentally friendly and energy-efficient insulation. From the side of the room, the frame is covered with a vapor barrier film and a 2-layer internal lining- GSP and GKL. On the outside, a gypsum particle board is installed, hydrophobized with moisture-repellent impregnations.

There are 2 options for exterior finishing:
1) plaster facade- finishing with mineral plaster and
2) ventilated facade- for finishing with various hanging facade materials at the request of the customer.
Construction using panel-frame technology remains one of the most popular solutions for houses permanent residence. This is one of the most inexpensive technologies suitable for capital energy-saving construction.

Today it is one of the most popular construction technologies low-rise buildings in the world. In Russia, it has become popular not only among private developers: in most regions, panel buildings are being built to implement national housing programs. frame houses- optimal in terms of price, quality, construction time and service life.

Frame and frame-panel housing construction is currently considered one of the most promising systems wood construction, providing great opportunities to create a variety of architectural and planning solutions at a relatively low cost of such houses. The structure of a frame house consists of a load-bearing element (frame), facing materials and thermal insulation material, laid between the facings. The frame is made of structural lumber or laminated wood impregnated with fire and bioprotective compounds.

First of all, about the differences. Frame and frame-panel technologies differ mainly in the degree of factory readiness of the elements supplied to the construction site. Frame technology involves the factory production of only frame elements and partly a number of structures (for example, load-bearing roof trusses). Installation of the frame and subsequent operations (sheathing the frame facing materials, laying thermal insulation, etc.) are carried out directly on the construction site.

Equipment for the production of frame houses

The next stage of increasing the factory readiness of kits wooden houses- technology of frame-panel housing construction. Here, in the factory, most of the enclosing structures are assembled and prepared for installation of various engineering communications. In this case, a scheme called the “platform frame” is used. . The platform frame is more convenient and economical: the object is erected floor by floor, and each floor level serves as a platform, which is the base platform for the assembly of finished wall structures coming from the factory.
Construction of such a house takes no more than 2-3 weeks.
Industrial production of elements of frame and frame-panel houses is organized at enterprises equipped with special equipment that has varying levels of automation. Companies from North America, of course, have the greatest experience in using frame and frame-panel technologies in wooden housing construction.

Our catalog of woodworking equipment includes machines, automation systems and software for organizing industrial production house kits of varying degrees of readiness.

This equipment includes:

Automatic and semi-automatic installations for trimming and cross cutting of lumber for frames and truss structures,

Devices for completing and assembling trusses and subelements wall panels,

Tables for assembling wall structures from subelements, equipped with automatic tools for installing fasteners (metal toothed plates, staples and nails), as well as for covering finished frames with facing materials and selecting the necessary openings (windows and doors), drilling holes for communications and for performing other operations.

Depending on the wishes of the customer, technological lines for frame house construction can have different levels of automation, up to fully automated production, equipped with a computer control system, covering the full production cycle: from project development to the release of finished products.

One of the most easily erected building structures are frame houses. As is known, frame housing construction is the main type of low-rise construction in the Scandinavian countries, as well as Finland, Germany and the USA.

Here we will talk about production frame houses(frame-panel (panel)) types, their manufacturing technology, and also briefly consider the equipment necessary for this.

Frame construction technology

There are two technologies for constructing frame houses:

  1. Classic frame. With this method, the entire house is assembled and insulated directly on the construction site itself. Those. first, the entire frame (skeleton) of the building is erected, then it is sheathed on one side with slabs, and on the other they begin to insulate it and at the end it is also sheathed with slabs.
  2. Frame-panel (panel) technology. Its essence lies in the fact that at the factory, panels are assembled for a specific house, which consist of several layers of various insulators and insulation, sheathed on both sides with OSB boards, then they are assembled into a house on the construction site. Those. the skeleton is not erected here.

The second technology comes from Germany. In addition to the production of individual parts, it provides for the assembly of structures in a factory. The output is 90% German ready frame house. The technology is promising for the construction wooden buildings. Large panels assembled in workshops are delivered to the construction site: roof and wall parts. German frame houses are distinguished by high-quality, error-free assembly using a tower crane ready-made structures in a short time, which allows the building to be used for a long time without the need for repairs.

The advantage of the latest technology is that it only takes about a month to build a turnkey frame-panel (panel) house, and its geometry is almost perfect.

Necessary equipment

Most often, automated systems are used as equipment for the production of frame houses. The absolute leader in their production is the German company WIENMANN.

There are also regular assembly lines, where the main thing is manual labor, but such equipment for the production of frame houses is more suitable for simple projects and the business itself will not be massive, because its productivity will be very small.

Production technology

Enlarged parts of frame-panel houses (frame-panel houses) must be assembled by qualified factory employees in workshops. Production must meet all modern requirements: it must be as mechanized and automated as possible; it is advisable to use manual labor in exceptional situations, so that errors will be eliminated as much as possible.

Video of the production of frame houses at a factory in Tatarstan:

A modern house is built on the basis of a power frame consisting of rigid rods assembled based on the principle of a crystal lattice. The base is highly durable and durable. The frame parameters are calculated by a computer program and then put into production on a high-tech line.

The basis of the houses is a frame made from dried selected wooden beam, the humidity indicator and geometry accuracy of which fully correspond technological parameters entered into the automatic production line database. Internal and external walls consist of a certain sequence modern materials. The space between the frames is closely filled with insulation based on mineral wool. Subsidence or displacement of the insulation is prevented by very dense filling of the interframe space.

Panel (board) structure for a frame house. Materials and structure may vary. Finishing, of course, is done after the installation of the building

From 2 sides wooden frame gets beat up OSB boards. This material is produced by pressing wood chips and resins. The resulting slabs are extremely durable, moisture-resistant, and environmentally friendly. Inside, mineral wool insulation is fixed and protected by a vapor barrier membrane. At the final stage, the inside of the building is finished with plasterboard, onto which finishing plaster is subsequently applied, wallpaper is glued, etc. The outside of the house is additionally covered with basalt insulation, polystyrene foam, and slabs. Technology allows you to build wooden houses all year round regardless of weather conditions.

Good insulation ensures comfortable living in all weather conditions and significant savings in energy resources when maintaining housing. The rigidity and strength of the structure are sufficient for the use of frame-panel houses in earthquake-prone areas, in particular in Japan.

Modern technology for the construction of frame-panel (panel) houses assumes successful operation for more than a hundred years.

PURPOSE:

The assembly table "MS-1" is intended for assembly wooden frames, used as a frame for subsequent cladding of house-building panels up to 7.5 m long.

APPLICATION AREA:

It is used at complex house-building enterprises in the manufacture of large external and internal house panels. Typically installed as part of a high-performance line.

PROCESSING SCHEME:

DISTINCTIVE FEATURES:

  • The sliding design of the table with an electromechanical drive makes it easy to adjust it to the desired width of the frame being manufactured;
  • Convenient thrust-clamping system for installing and securing elements of the frame being manufactured;
  • Mechanism for quickly adjusting the height of the pistols;
  • The automatic lowering of the unloading roller guides does not interfere with the installation of assembled elements.

DESIGN FEATURES

TABLE CONSTRUCTION

The table consists of movable and fixed parts. The sliding part is driven by a gear motor installed in the center of a composite shaft common to both drive rollers, which ensures synchronous angular speed of their rotation and parallelism of the two main parts of the table. Thus, the table can be easily extended to suit the required panel width. Unloading rollers are installed on each part of the table using single guides, which are lowered during assembly and raised for unloading.


STAPLE HEADS

On both sides of the table there are two automatically moving trolleys with installed staple heads. On each head is mounted one pistol from the German company BEA with extended magazines. The self-trigger device is connected to retractable stop-clamps in such a way that the guns are triggered only at the places where the cross beams are attached. The guns are angled to position the driven staple diagonally with respect to the cross beam.

The electrical cabinet is located separately.

If you start with a large one, that is, with a low-rise building in general, there are certain prospects here. Returning to government programs, we note that in 2012, a decree came into force on the start of the implementation of a program to provide residents of Russia with affordable housing until 2020, which also mentions measures for the development of low-rise buildings.

In 2014, the program was updated. You can read more about it. But let us note one important detail for our question - not a word is said about frame houses in the program. Although this particular type of house, like no other, meets the set objectives of promoting the introduction of new modern, energy-efficient and resource-saving technologies in housing construction and achieving one of the key goals - increasing the affordability of housing for the population.

Obviously, this situation needs to be understood as follows: the design of a frame house conflicts with another important provision of the law - improving quality housing provision population. And this is directly related to the disadvantages of frame houses:

  • Relative fragility. If the frame itself is relatively reliable with proper design, then modern insulation materials No. Their service life is about 30 years.
  • Extreme fire hazard. The design of the house is such that a frame house burns like a match instantly. Most likely, the fire brigade simply will not have time to save the property of the owners.
  • Rotting. If the price is “optimized” by low-quality timber, the frame is unlikely to last long.
  • Poor sound insulation compared to brick, timber and even blocks.
  • Low environmental friendliness. Synthetic materials are used as insulation, which do not increase the popularity of this type of house.

And you need to know about this because these are the most common objections of your potential clients. And we have to fight them.

Subtleties of opening

Before opening, you should decide on the direction of your activity. And there are at least three of them:

  1. Production of frame houses. You will need to open an LLC, rent production premises and register it in accordance with the standards of SNiP and PUE. It will also be necessary to purchase production equipment and hire a significant number of personnel.
  2. Construction of frame houses. This option is much simpler in terms of launch. The task of such an organization is to establish contacts with manufacturers of frame house kits, organize the receipt of orders for the construction of frame houses, draw up and coordinate construction documentation. And, ultimately, assemble the kit at the customer’s site.
  3. Full cycle organization. This form of doing business combines the first and second options in one.

The choice depends on your experience in this area. Contrary to ideas, frame construction extremely difficult to construct. In order for the design to be reliable and durable, considerable professionalism is required. Unprofessional teams are one of the key reasons for the low popularity of this area of ​​low-rise construction among consumers.

Therefore, the ascent of a successful entrepreneur in this area is seen in this order:

  1. Work as an ordinary employee in an existing organization. Studying the nuances of construction.
  2. Creation of our own construction team to create prefabricated houses.
  3. Organization of a workshop for the creation of house kits and reaching the level of a full-cycle company.

Missing any of these stages can negatively affect the quality of your work, and, accordingly, your popularity with clients.

Creation of production

How to organize a construction team is perhaps not a question that deserves full coverage in this material. It is clear that at least two or three people on the team should have solid experience in building frame houses. If you plan to be both an organizer and a foreman at the same time, one of these people should be you. Another 1-2 people can be hired without experience to perform auxiliary work.

Creating a production facility is a more complex idea, so let’s look at it in more detail.

Room

For the production of house kits, a large room is required: at least 500 square meters. m. The easiest way is to rent a ready-made house-building plant with equipment, if such an opportunity exists in your region. Yes, this is less profitable in the long term, but it will allow you to save money when opening.

Otherwise, be guided by the following factors:

  • To save money, choose a place away from the city.
  • Not all regions have their own workshops, so give preference to regions with less competition.
  • Based on the target audience: the region must have a developed private sector(this is your main consumer) with an average level of income.
  • Electricity and water must be supplied to the workshop.
  • Pay attention to the entrance: heavy vehicles should be able to turn around easily in the loading/unloading area.

Equipment

Please note that there are several technologies for the production of frame houses. The most common in Russia are Finnish and Canadian. Study special literature about their advantages and disadvantages in advance, because the purchase of equipment depends on this. May require:

  • Format cutting machine.
  • Sheet edge processing machine.
  • Press for splicing timber.
  • Automatic saw.
  • Assembly complex.
  • Equipment for assembling trusses.
  • Equipment for beam assembly.
  • Docking press.
  • Tenoning machine.

This is just the basic equipment. Add here cargo (hand trucks, loaders, hoists), shelving, magazines of wall panels and rafters.

In addition, do not forget about a computer with software for creating projects such as Autocad, 3D Max (and, accordingly, about the employee who will work with it).

Companies involved in sales do not disclose prices for equipment. You can get full information about them on request. But judging by the amount of technical equipment, it is clear that you will have to spend a lot of money on equipment for the workshop.

Sales and payback

The construction team's startup costs are minimal and can be recovered in one completed order. The only regular expenses may include advertising: outdoor advertising in the private sector and cottage communities, printed advertisements in local newspapers, website creation and promotion.

When organizing production, it is worth considering this point more seriously. It is necessary to take into account the seasonal factor of business. The main sales take place from spring to late summer. The low season begins in autumn. Calculate how many house kits need to be sold per season so that the enterprise pays off in no more than 3-4 years.

A fairly high markup on house kits will come to the rescue. The average cost starts from 7 thousand rubles per sq. m. m. That is, a house of 100 sq. m. m costs, according to rough estimates, 700 thousand rubles. A finished house kit will cost the consumer about 1.4-1.5 million. Minus taxes and other expenses, each house kit will bring the organization at least 500 thousand rubles.

Moreover, the advantage of the manufacturer’s position is that there are few creators of house kits, and construction crews a lot of. Finding 5-6 teams of builders and receiving orders from them is not so difficult. In addition, you can create your own retail direction. The house kit is sold with detailed instructions assembly, so some buyers take on the assembly themselves. Especially if we're talking about O country house, which has fewer requirements.

Eventually

The construction sector can be considered a relatively promising undertaking. The main advantages are the low cost of producing a house kit and a high markup. The main disadvantage is the predominantly negative attitude towards such buildings in society. If in Canada and the USA over 70% of the low-rise housing stock is made up of frame houses, in our country their share hardly exceeds 5-10% (unfortunately, there are no exact statistics).

You will have to focus only on summer residents or take on the difficult mission of change public opinion. But for this you will have to try very hard and pay great attention to quality. However, doing your job properly is a requirement for any company in any industry.
