Wooden houses - this is a kind of return to the origins of green building. After all, only wood will help create a unique natural microclimate in the house. And in some cases it does not even need to finish, because the house will turn out beautiful and without designer frills. But how much does it cost to build a house from a timber?

First of all, you need to estimate the cost of buying a house on a turnkey basis so that you can understand how much you will save by building yourself. Also in the calculation, keep in mind that you will need to buy a land plot for individual housing construction( prices can be viewed here), that is, already with the executed documents.

Why precisely timber?

The reasons why they decide to build a house from a bar:

1. Inside such a house it will always be warm, because the construction is characterized by high energy-saving indicators.
2. Wooden walls absorb moisture, and then give up if the air becomes dry, which ensures a healthy microclimate.
3. Bruce is resistant to rotting, damage by insects and fungi due to special antiseptic impregnation.

Which timber is used in housing construction?

When deciding how much it costs to build a house out of a bar, the type of building material is necessarily taken into account:

1. Non-glued profiled .The grooves are provided in the products, providing hermetic joints. This bar is also characterized by a low shrinkage rate. In the house, which is assembled from prefabricated elements according to the constructor principle, natural ventilation is provided. This type of material is considered the most budget.
2. Glued laminated timber .How much does it cost to build a house from glued timber? Twice more expensive than non-glued - due to the fact that the material in the preparation process undergoes more technological operations, including drying, profiling, flame retardant and antiseptic preparation. Such a house is assembled quickly, because all the details are fitted with maximum geometric accuracy. In addition, it does not need additional finishing work. However, most of the projects from laminated veneer lumber are typical. You will also need a forced ventilation device.
3. Thermobar .This is a glued profiled bar, supplemented with polystyrene foam - insulation. It is characterized by minimal shrinkage and can be operated in the temperature range up to -50 ° C.The material is not considered "breathable" and more expensive than laminated veneer lumber by 20%.

As elements of the construction affect the cost of

Naturally, you can not count how much it costs to build a house from a bar, if you do not have a project. It is cheaper to purchase a standard project, already tested by developers. The project necessarily considers such aspects as the area of ​​the house, the style of the building, the location of the rooms and engineering networks. Further work is carried out sequentially:

• soil analysis on the site, the choice of the appropriate type of foundation;
• foundation construction;
• contour device, the first crown;
• felling assembly;
• installation of the subfloor;
• roof construction;
• outdoor insulation;
• ceiling unit;
• installation of doors and windows;
• laying of engineering networks.

The final stage - finish. If the house is from glued timber, then it can be started immediately. In all other cases, make a 6-month break for shrinkage at home.

At each of these stages different construction materials are used, on which the final estimate will depend. Being engaged in building a house yourself, you will save as much as the cost of the work, but only on condition that you can competently organize and execute everything.

Construction stages and materials

For timber houses it can be used:

• pile;
• columnar;
• strip foundation.

Accordingly, the cost of piles, rebar, concrete, and material delivery are included in the estimate. The level of deepening of the foundation is taken into account without fail - in most cases it is 500-600 mm.

As for the walls, the cost in this case depends on the complexity of the project and the type of material used. As a rule, for the manufacture of components from European raw materials take 50% more. Acquisition of a kit for construction of a standard cottage from a bar will be twice cheaper than the installation of a turnkey building. But it affects not only the manufacturer of timber, but also the parameters of the material profile.

The type and height of the roof being erected are also important - the amount of lumber used depends on it. The cost of a suitable roofing material is also taken into account.

And one more thing - to save money, you can wait for the end of the season and it is profitable to purchase materials at a sale. But it's up to you to decide if you are ready to stretch the project so much.
