Addition to the house - work performance

To solve the problem of increasing the area of an existing building, it is possible to build an extension to the house. In order to work is not very difficult, they are produced without equipping the foundation. At the same time, the annexe to the house will have a non-capital nature.

The main bearing elements for the construction of such an additional room will be concrete cushions, in which small piles of metal or wood are pre-assembled. In the absence of ready-made elements, such structures can be cast directly at the place where they should be installed. The number of concrete cushions depends on what size is planned to be attached to the house. Their independent manufacture is made after arrangement of a suitable form from boards.

The workpiece is reinforced and poured with concrete. The distance between the pillows should be between one meter and one and a half, and the height of the piles is calculated from the mark of the planned floor of the annex. The next stage of construction is the arrangement of the strapping, on which the walls of the future building will be erected. Their weight will be distributed evenly over the entire area, creating a minimum pressure on each pillow.

An extension to the house can be made in a frame version. This method of construction has its undoubted advantages:

- reduction of material costs;

- Reduction of time for work;

- no shrinkage due to the ease of the attached premises;

- a lot of possible design solutions.

In the production of work, a mounting skeleton element made of bar or metal is preliminarily installed. Its main details are beams, crosspieces and racks. At the next stage of the work, the skeleton is clad with sheet materials, which, after installation, are insulated in one or more layers. This design is strong and at the same time it keeps the heat perfectly.

In the construction of an extension to the house, you can use a frame-frame or frame-panel version. At the first of them installation of all elements of a building is made directly on a building site. Frame-panel version provides for the erection of an extension of already finished elements, in which window and door openings are built . The finishing of the walls of such additional premises is carried out immediately after the completion of the construction work. Shrinkage of the foundation is minimal, so these works can be produced in any period of the year and at a sufficiently high rate.

If the main structure is made of wood, then the extension can be executed not only in the frame version. The material for the walls can serve as joists or logs. The extension to the wooden house must be attached to the main structure reliably and firmly, but at the same time be able to shrink and shrink. The experience of construction works indicates that these two problems arise everywhere, when constructing walls it is necessary to take them into account.

Residents of the first floors of apartment buildings are worried about the problem of adding a balcony. Well, when it is, and additional meters are not superfluous. Attachment of the balcony is possible:

- when the apartment is located on the first floor;

- in the presence of protruding standard concrete slabs, located on the floor below.

It should be borne in mind that before starting the construction of an extension of any type, it is necessary to carry out design work and obtain a building permit.
