Today, frame construction is more popular than ever. The fact is that the calculation of the cost of erecting the same panel house shows that the cost of such a structure will be at least 30% less than the cost of a similar house made of any other material. It is not so difficult to calculate the consumption of lumber, the cost of cladding for a frame house. This will be discussed in the article.

The choice of materials and their influence on the calculation

It goes without saying that finished materials for frame construction in the total estimate will occupy the largest share. Their consumption will be a significant part of the budget for the construction.

First of all, attention should be paid to the consumption of lumber. In particular, the following materials will be needed for a panel house:

• Bar of various sections;
• Edged board with a section of at least 5 centimeters;
• Edged board with a cross section of 2 centimeters;
• Tongue-and-groove boards with a section of 2.5 centimeters.

It is not so easy to calculate the cost of a transverse and rack beam: here it is necessary to take into account the size of the future building (its area), as well as the heat-insulating material that will be used in construction.

The calculation of the roof structure of a panel house, the choice of roofing material will also affect the final cost of construction. However, it is not so difficult to calculate the amount of roofing material.

In addition to products of the woodworking industry, it is necessary to calculate the consumption of materials for the following:

When calculating the cost of rack and cross bar you need to consider the size of the future home, as well as the type of insulation used.

By the way, the calculation of materials for the structures described above should be performed only after the owner of the house has decided on the material of the boxes of the house and the roof. From them already "dancing" and everything else.

Of course, if a person is ready to spend money to create a reserve of a safety margin for a house, then calculations may not be made so scrupulously, but after all, frame houses are being built, most often, precisely because of their cheapness.

Scheme of wall insulation of a frame house

Ambient temperature and its influence on the calculation

From the climatic features of the area where the house is being built, the heat in the house will also depend. This is a well known fact. The only moment when the climate can be ignored is if country house, which is planned exclusively for summer residence.

Here, in order to calculate the quantity, you will definitely need a table indicating the coefficients of thermal resistance various materials, and it is necessary to calculate all the indicators separately for the walls of the building and for the roofing pie, otherwise all the heat will simply leave through attic floors and it won't make any sense.

Based on such calculations, you can get the final required thickness of the walls and roofing cake, which will be sufficient to keep the heat in the house (according to the coefficient of thermal resistance, again).

Layout of racks in a frame wall

Also, it is much easier to make a calculation if you know in advance all the parameters of the materials (for example, the weight of all structures) that the manufacturer has installed.

Usually, after all, frame houses are supplied as house kits, so it will not be difficult to find out all these values ​​​​(usually all this is indicated in the documents that must go along with the house kit itself).

Interestingly, if the house is built according to Canadian technology, from sandwich panels, then the materials for its decoration will be needed to a minimum. The fact is that in such panels a heater is already installed in advance, that is, they have a heat-insulating layer.

The device of the ventilation gap will require additional costs

Most often, manufacturers use mineral wool as a heat-insulating material for sandwich panels. It turns out that the outside of the house will not need to be insulated at all (which means that it is necessary to delete the cost item for external insulation from the estimate and leave only the calculation for the internal one).

The calculation of thermal resistance indicators must be carried out separately for both the walls of the building and the roof.

Calculation of individual building structures

It is clear that before you build a frame house with your own hands, first of all, you need to make an estimate of the cost of material for the construction of the roof and foundation.

Assembly diagram of a frame house

Insulation of a frame house, both internal and external, is also extremely important event, with the exception of cases when houses are being built according to Canadian technology, using pre-insulated sandwich panels.

Insulation of a frame house at a cost will be up to about 20% of the total estimate, provided that factory insulation was not used in the house kit, and up to 10% if one was used.

If you build a frame house with your own hands, then great importance will also have a consumption of lumber, and not so much for the walls, but for the roof. The same attic beams at a cost can be almost half of the price of the entire box of a panel house.

We have already analyzed the calculation of lumber for the walls of a panel house, so attention should be paid to the roof. Of course, if you buy ready-made house kits, then there will be no difficulty: the manufacturer calculated everything in advance.

But how much lumber is needed for a panel house and its cladding, provided that a frame house is being built with your own hands - this is already much more difficult. About the insulation of the frame house has already been described above.

Roof

When designing the roof of a house, it is necessary to take into account not only the total weight and load of attic floors and beams, but also the weight and characteristics of the roofing material itself.

An example of a cost estimate for the construction of a frame house

Particular attention should also be paid to the construction of the roof, during the construction of which it is necessary to take into account the wind rose in a certain area (that is, from which side the wind will blow more often, there will be a large load on that side). Materials for construction are also selected taking into account these criteria.

In fact, these are very important criteria for choosing materials and calculating their cost. If you do not take into account the same wind rose, then the roof on the one hand can leak, leak, roofing material without proper reinforcement and fastening can simply be blown away by a strong wind, not to mention hurricanes and other natural troubles.

The nuances that must be considered before the construction of the roof of the frame house:

• it is not recommended to mount a high and acute-angled roof on a house in an area where too strong winds prevail (otherwise, you will have to calculate the roof with a rather large margin of safety, which will inevitably lead to a significant increase in the entire construction estimate);
• the roof sheathing should be mounted with more frequent steps to increase the margin of safety;
• for truss system it is necessary to choose a more durable timber (the thicker the roofing timber, the stronger it is, everything is extremely simple here);
• it is better to choose a more rigid roofing, as it will be stronger (slate instead of metal tiles or corrugated board, for example).

If strong winds often blow in the area, it is better to buy a more rigid roofing material such as slate.

Foundation

For frame shield structures, lightweight types of foundations such as shallow-depth tape (most often monolithic), pile or even columnar foundations are usually used. True, one must take into account the fact that columnar foundations are suitable only for small frame houses, for giving, for example.

General scheme of the device frame house

As for pile foundations, their simplest option is screw foundations. To calculate the number of piles, it will be necessary to take into account the entire mass of the house and the load on one square meter area from a solid foundation.

It will be necessary to take into account the condition of the soil on the site, which was allocated for the construction of the building. And also it is necessary to take into account the heaving of soils and the depth of groundwater.

For example, if the piles of the foundation are not buried deep enough, then during the cold weather the foundation will simply raise the house, which will immediately lead to cracks. different sizes and partial destruction of the frame structure.

After all, what mistake do people often make when building houses on their own? They calculate the foundation only by the weight of the house - that's all. And this cannot be done, because it is necessary to take into account many other criteria that were indicated above. But it is better that specialized specialists do this - it will be definitely more reliable.

Calculation of a frame house

How to calculate a frame house. The choice of material. Determination of all components of the frame structure.

To build a reliable house, it is necessary to correctly calculate the frame house, for a visual understanding of how much the construction will cost. This article will tell you how the correct choice of materials results in their influence on the calculation. How does the environment affect the calculated indicators.

How is the calculation of individual structures of the building, roof and foundation. The correctness of determining the cost of racks and walls of a frame house, insulation, as well as roofing. What are the necessary materials for the calculation of windows, doors and decoration of the structure.

What you need to consider when building a house. The cost of heating and communications.

Building a frame house is difficult complex process, it is impossible to start without a clear project and calculation necessary materials.

Any construction is associated with the calculation building materials. You can not start buying them without an accurate calculation of the required volume. The calculation "by eye" may lead to additional costs for the delivery of materials to the building site, or the remaining materials "settle in your pocket" in the form of trash, for which you will have to find a storage place or a method of distribution. Of course, the construction of a frame house is no exception. And given how many dissimilar materials are needed for continuous construction, then the correct calculation of a frame house without the involvement of specialists seems to be an unattainable goal.

Today we will try to refute this opinion and teach you how to calculate the necessary materials for a frame house. Most of these buildings in Russia are being built according to Finnish technology using mineral insulators. It is the calculation of such a design that we will deal with.

How to start calculating a frame house?

The calculation of the necessary materials is needed not only for self construction frame house. Unscrupulous contractors often use "additions" to estimates in the hope of an illiterate customer. As a result, according to the estimate, you pay not only for your house, but also for the material for some other object. Therefore, it is important to be able to check the calculations of a construction company so as not to be deceived. It is not necessary to check all estimates. You can count only some of its elements.

If the developer is trying to deceive you, then this will be incorporated into even the most insignificant consumables. In addition to the correct calculation of building materials, it is necessary to evaluate the cost of the work included in the estimate. You can get acquainted with the prices for them by calling other construction companies or teams that are engaged only in certain types of work.

Completely different tasks are faced when building a frame house with your own hands: it is important to calculate and purchase the strictly necessary amount of building materials. You need to start the calculation with drawing up a project for future housing.

When building a large residential building, one cannot do without a detailed plan with drawings of all the walls and elements of the building. You can buy/download it online or order from design organization.

Such projects are provided with detailed drawings of all components of the house and specifications of the necessary materials. This greatly simplifies the calculation of materials. You can also order the calculation of a detailed estimate of the necessary materials in the same design organization. Of course, all these services will cost you money.

If you are planning the construction of a small residential building or a house for a summer stay, then you can get by with a building project with a layout and wall drawings, with dimensions and an indication of all openings, a roof drawing. It is with the preparation of such drawings that it is necessary to begin the calculation.

Before starting calculations, you need to have an accurate idea of ​​\u200b\u200bbuilding houses according to frame technology: understand the rules for mounting the frame, learn about the properties of the materials needed for insulation. It is also necessary to conduct a soil survey, because the calculation of the very first element of construction - the foundation - depends on this.

Foundation calculation

First of all, you need to decide on the type of foundation. For a frame house, a columnar, strip or foundation on screw piles is used. The foundation can also be used monolithic slab, but this option is very rare. If it is necessary to use it (floating soils), it is very doubtful to build a house without the involvement of professionals.

For calculation strip foundation you can find many calculators on the internet. You only need to know the total length of the tape; its depth, width and height. You need to enter these data into the table, and at the output you will receive an accurate calculation of the necessary reinforcement, sand and concrete mortar.

The key question for the calculation column foundation or screw piles is load bearing capacity soils and the approximate weight of the finished structure.

To calculate the required number of piles per area of ​​your house, you can also use online calculators. Often a free calculation of screw piles is offered by their manufacturer, especially if you order the installation of these piles from them.

So, the first part of the estimate is ready - the foundation is calculated.

Calculation of the strapping and floor of the first floor

If you are familiar with frame structures, then you know that the construction of the walls of such a house is impossible without installing the floor. That is why the next step in the calculations will be the floor of the first floor. Get a separate table with the calculations of lumber needed for the whole house. Here we will enter the lumber for each of the elements in order to compile the final table. The same tables must be drawn up for insulation, related materials and even fasteners.

• Waterproofing. Based on the total surface area of ​​​​the foundation or the perimeter of the tape, we calculate the required amount of waterproofing (roofing material or glassine.)
• Strapping bar. A beam with a section of 100x150, 100x200 mm or a larger section is used as a strapping. We hope you have a foundation plan, and it will not be difficult for you to calculate the total length of the strapping. The length of the beam is usually 6 meters, so we round up the calculation to whole beams upwards - that is, even with the received 26 meters of the strapping beam, we write 30 meters in the estimate).
• Logs for the floor of the first floor. Depending on the pitch and span length, a beam of 50x150 or 50x200 mm is used. First, we calculate the number of lags. To do this, we divide the width of the house by a step lag + 1 extreme lag. We choose a step based on the size of the insulation. Most mineral insulation has a plate size of 600 mm. Therefore, the step between the lags will be equal to 600 mm in the centers of the lag. After calculating the number of lags, it remains to multiply them by the length of 1 lag to get the total molding.

Example. Consider the calculation of the strapping and log for a house of 8x8 m with one bearing wall in the middle of the house.

Strapping beam with a section of 150x150 mm. 8x4 = 32 linear meters m on the perimeter of the house + 8 for the wall = 40 meters. We round up to whole 6-meter bars - 7 pcs.

Logs. Section 50x150 mm, pitch 580 mm. 8000/6000+1= 15pcs * 8 m = 120 linear meters or 20 pcs. 6 meters.

• Insulation, films and membranes. To insulate the floor of the first floor, installation of a subfloor will be required. For its calculation, the calculation of floor logs is very useful. We multiply the total length of the lag by 2, we get the total length of the cranial bar.

In the case of our example, 240 running meters. Usually a bar with a section of 40x50 or 50x50 mm is used.

Draft flooring: total number of lags -1 * per step between lags = total area flooring. We divide this area by the width of the board used for flooring and then divide by the length of one board.

Our example. 15 lag - 1 \u003d 14 * 0.6 m \u003d 8.4 square meters. m. For rough floors we will use a board 25x100 mm, 3 meters long. 8.4 / 0.1/3 = 28 boards.

Calculating the amount of insulation is even easier. We know the floor area and the thickness of the insulation, it remains to multiply these two values ​​\u200b\u200band get the total cubic mass of the necessary insulation.

Our example. Insulation 150 mm. 64 sq.m * 0.15 = 9.6 cubic meters m of insulation.

Expert opinion

Ask an expert

For insulation, you will also need a vapor-permeable membrane and a vapor barrier circuit. To do this, we multiply the floor area by 110% (the overlap of the films must be at least 10 cm).

Flooring calculation

For floor coverings you can use a massive floor board or sheet materials. For an accurate calculation, it is necessary to divide the floor area by the area of ​​\u200b\u200bone board or the area of ​​​​one sheet of the material used. We recommend adding 10% of the margin to the resulting figure (losses for cutting, defective material).

Wall calculation

Like the floor of the ground floor, the walls are composed of several materials, and each of them is calculated separately.

• Frame calculation. Well if you have detailed drawing walls, indicating each element of the frame and each opening. Then it will not be difficult for you to simply count each of the bars and multiply by their length. In the absence of such a drawing, you can use the rules for calculating the floor logs (racks are installed with the same step, and we get double supports at the corners). You should not subtract openings from the calculations, because double racks are also installed there. Only the calculation of headers is needed. To do this, add the perimeter of all window and doorways and multiply the resulting number by 2.

Our example. For racks we use a bar with a section of 50x150 mm. The height of the walls is 2.5 meters, in height we have one horizontal cross section (??? Where are the parameters of the section?). On the walls there are 4 windows 1.5 meters wide and 2 doorways 1.1 meters wide.

Calculation of racks of 1 wall. 8 / 0.6 (rack pitch) + 1 \u003d 15 pcs. * 2.5 \u003d 37.5 linear meters m + 8 meters = 1 jumper. We have 5 identical walls 45.5*5 = 227.5 meters. /6 = 38 pcs.

Header beam 110x150mm: (1.5 * 4 + 1.1 * 2) * 2 = 16.4 / 6 = 3 beams of 6 meters.

• Calculation of sheathing materials. sheathing frame walls can be produced with special boards - this is lining, imitation of timber, blockhouse, planken or floor board; or sheet materials - OSB, plywood, drywall, chipboard. The calculation is no different from the calculations of finishing floor coverings. We recommend that you do not subtract the area of ​​the openings, since a small margin is also needed for sheathing materials.
• Warming. For the walls of a frame house insulated with mineral insulation, a vapor-permeable membrane and vapor barrier are also required, except for partitions. Therefore, we take into account only the area bearing walls, increased by 10%. Insulation is also calculated only for load-bearing walls. In the case of installing insulated partitions, we multiply their area by 2 and increase by 10% - we get the required amount of vapor barrier. Insulation for partitions is also calculated separately (usually the thickness of the insulation of partitions is thinner than the insulation of load-bearing walls).

Our example. Insulation of load-bearing walls 150 mm, partition insulation 50 mm.

8*4*2.5 = 80 square meters m - the total area of ​​\u200b\u200bbearing walls.

80*1.1 = 88 square meters m of membrane and vapor barrier.

80 * 0.15 \u003d 12 cu. m of insulation for load-bearing walls.

8*2.5 = 20 square meters m - partition area * 2 * 1.1 \u003d 44 sq. meter of vapor barrier.

20 * 0.05 = 1 cu. m of insulation.

TOTAL for walls:

Vapor barrier: 88 + 44 = 132 sq. m.

Membrane: 88 square meters m.

Insulation: 13 cubic meters m.

Calculation of the upper trim and ceiling

The calculation of the ceiling or interfloor ceilings is almost identical to the calculation of the floor of the first floor: strapping, logs, sheathing on both sides, a membrane and vapor barrier in the case of a cold attic or two layers of vapor barrier in the case of an interfloor ceiling between two warm floors.

Our example. Cottage with a cold attic, insulation 150 mm. In our case, there is even no need for calculations. All figures can be taken from the calculation of floor insulation.

Roof calculation

The necessary lumber for the truss system cannot be purchased without a detailed drawing. Roofing is one of the most responsible and difficult stages of construction. Here we can give you only one piece of advice: correctly calculate the load on the truss system, draw up a detailed drawing of the roof with a specification of the necessary lumber.

Any manufacturer will be happy to calculate the roofing material according to such a detailed drawing for free.

We can say that we have finished calculating the materials for bringing the frame house under the roof. It remains to bring all the calculations to a "common denominator": combine the data for each of the materials, evaluate the prices of various suppliers in order to calculate the cost.

Do not forget that all wood used for the frame is treated with antiseptics. You have the total volume of lumber and know the consumption of antiseptic, so it will not be difficult to perform the calculation.

Finishing materials and communications

The calculation of each type of communications is not the kind of work that can be done or installed without the appropriate knowledge. Contact the relevant organizations to draw up a plan and calculate the necessary materials.

It is only important to carry out the necessary preparatory work during the construction process, which will be difficult to do in an already finished building.

Conclusion

As you can see, the calculation of a frame house is a very logical procedure that does not even require deep knowledge in mathematics. It is much more important to have knowledge in the field of frame housing construction or to get a detailed drawing of the house being built, made by professionals.

Before starting construction with their own hands, each future owner must calculate the approximate cost of building a frame house. The calculation is necessary in order for you to accurately determine whether your finances are enough to complete the construction. If the resulting amount is slightly more than you can afford, the house design can be slightly adjusted - reduce the size of the house, replace materials with cheaper analogues, etc. Each calculation for the construction of frame housing with your own hands is approximate, and the total amount spent on construction is usually 5% more than originally planned.

How much does it cost to build a foundation

The most popular type of foundation, which is poured under an inexpensive frame house, is a tape one. It is a cement mixture poured into a mold. The device of such a foundation can be done independently, thereby saving up to 50% of the cost of the foundation.

Foundation works are divided into 2 categories:

• preparatory work
• foundation pouring

The first category includes soil research, calculations of the future frame weight of the house, marking, earthworks, sand cushion installation, installation of a reinforcing cage or mesh frame, all formwork installation work, etc. You can also add here the purchase of all necessary materials, the amount of which must be calculated in advance. If you decide to carry out these works yourself, then you will only have to pay for the sand or ASG for the pillow and its delivery. You can buy the formwork ready-made, or you can put it together yourself from boards and film (they also need to be purchased). The calculation is done using data on the perimeter of the foundation, its depth and height above the ground. In matters of foundation depth, proceed from the data on the weight of the frame structure.

The second category includes pouring the foundation with a cement mixture. Here you will have to pay for the cost of concrete, delivery of it by a mixer and, most likely, the work of several workers. Concrete sets very quickly, so you will need help leveling it in the formwork.

On average, the cost of a foundation with your own hands will be from $ 2,000.

If you order a foundation from a turnkey company, the price will be increased several times.

Construction of walls and partitions

So, if your foundation is already ready, you can start building the wall frame. For this you will need:

• technical drying timber (price per m3 is 135-140 dollars, depends on the type of wood and% moisture content)
• insulation (Basalt, stone wool, mineral wool. Basalt fiber mats on a metal mesh). The price will be 20-30 dollars per roll (min.wool).
• waterproofing (45-50 euros per roll) and vapor barrier (47-55 euros per roll)
• OSB boards (OSB-3 board 9x1250x2500 mm (Format-Europe) - 550 rubles per sheet

In addition, you may need universal galvanized screws, universal galvanized screws, a hacksaw for wood, self-tapping screws, a drill for wood, nails.

All work can be carried out independently, which will also save at least a third of the amount requested by turnkey construction firms.

If you decide to build a house from SIP panels, their cost will be:

1500x1250x174 - $100

2500x1250x224 - $117

2800x1250x174 - $120

2800x1250x224 - $127

The price may vary depending on the region, order size and delivery.

How much does it cost to build a frame house from the developer - we read.

Roofing: materials and prices

The roof is the most important element of the house, so you should not save on the roof. First, you need to decide which of the roofs will be built. It can be single-sided, double-sided or more complex. Also, the cost of the roof is affected by how the attic space will be used. Residential attic needs high-quality insulation.

Cheaper will cost you a house with a shed roof.

In addition, the final cost of the roof will depend on the price of the roofing material. Slate is one of the cheapest materials, but it does not have such characteristics as modern materials- for example, a soft top. soft roof It costs more but is much easier to install. In addition, it does not make noise during operation of the house.

Do not forget about wood fire protection. You can order the processing of the frame base from fire organizations or carry it out yourself. The calculation of the amount of impregnation for self-treatment depends on the number of layers.
