Frame houses have long been very popular in Canada and the USA. In Russia, they became widespread several decades ago. Their indisputable advantage is the fantastic speed of construction. The new house is born in just 2-3 weeks. In addition, its layout can be any and not depend on the typical project of the building.
After all, the frame, which is installed around the entire perimeter of the foundation, also performs the functions of the supporting support.
The frame house on screw stilts is the least costly version of buildings created using frame technology. The use of screw piles makes it possible to reduce investments by about 30%. This gives greatly facilitates the construction process, and also significantly reduces its terms. After all, now there is no need to dig a traditional pit, without which, it would seem, no construction can do. Piles can be screwed directly into the ground, and on the construction site with any landscape.
By means of screw piles, the frame of the future building is fixed, its stability and leveling around the perimeter are achieved. In order to build a frame house on screw piles, you need to perform a number of works to calculate the bite foundation. One of these preliminary measures is the trial screwing of the piles on this site.
Thanks to it, it is possible to determine the proper depth of immersion in specific soil, the load on the designed foundation. In case of heterogeneity of the soil, piles are installed at different depths. The entire subsequent process of laying piles takes only a few days. Then they are cut, aligned in height to the desired level and concrete, which is necessary to increase their rigidity.
After that, heads are attached to each of them, which are the metal plates necessary to fix the channel. They are joined directly by the frame of the future house. Rifle piles are especially advisable to use during construction on steep slopes, areas with weak soil or complex relief. They are indispensable during construction on water, in areas with close passage of groundwater.
