Construction of a two-story house from: glued, profiled, ordinary timber - stages of construction, price per square on average in Russia

If you have a small plot, you can choose the compact dimensions of a log house, these are also suitable for summer cottages: 6x6, 6x8, 8x10. Any project with two floors will look presentable due to the appearance of open areas and panoramic glazing.

The main stages of installation

Observing all the stages of building a two-story log cottage, you can avoid many mistakes and save money and your own strength. The main task is to properly organize the entire process and observe all the main stages, which we will consider in more detail below.

Acquisition of land

This stage, in spite of its prostate, is very important for the family. The atmosphere and even the type of timber for future construction depends on where the house will be. Geodesy of the land is important when choosing a foundation and waterproofing. Pay your attention to the location of communications: gas and water. Bringing gas to the house is also not a cheap pleasure. Important: the proximity of shops, kindergarten schools and hospitals. The location of the future house depends on the climatic zone:

• type of timber and its section;
• type of decoration of the facade of the house;
• thickness and type of insulation.

Designing a two-story house and choosing a contractor

At this stage, you need to decide what the future home will be like. A two-story house from a bar, due to a different section and longer than the material, can be of different styles:

• Colonial style
• Swiss chalet style.
• Medieval castle style.
• Modern style.

In order to save budget, you can use standard ready-made projects, of which there are many on the Internet from real estate developers. The most common version of a two-story house is the 9x9 project. It is convenient in construction and, due to its square shape, easily fits on an area of ​​land from 1 are. As an example, we present to you some of them in the form of a table:

Each typical 9x9 project can be adjusted at the request of the customer even before the construction stage: the transfer of internal walls, windows, doorways. If you decide to save as much as possible and assemble a 9x9 house with your own hands, then the price will be 150-200 thousand cheaper. The most expensive project will be a project made of laminated veneer lumber, but due to the minimum cost of insulation, prices will almost equalize.

But building such a house yourself is difficult and requires professional skills. This is why choosing the right contractor is so important. The contractor will determine how much the construction will cost, how strong and comfortable the house will be, and how quickly it will be built. Before signing a contract with your chosen developer, look at the reviews, ready-made two-story houses from a bar, talk to their owners.

The foundation of a log house for two floors

In order to save money, you can make the foundation yourself. The advantages of a two-story timber structure are its lightness. Usually, two types of foundations are used for such a structure:

1. Tape.
2. Stolbovoy.
3. Mixed.

If you are building a light log house from a material with a cross section of up to 150 mm or glued beams, without additional insulation and facade decoration, then you can make a pillar foundation. The cost of such a foundation for a 9x9 box will be about 70 thousand rubles, excluding labor.

But if we provide for wind loads and stability features of such a house, then it is better to make a strip or mixed-type foundation. This is especially true for timber over 150 mm. We already talked about how to make such a structure for a two-story house in the article about the strip foundation.

House walls and features of their installation

The strength of the walls will be an important point. The frame of a wooden house must be carefully calculated taking into account the shrinkage and "walking" of the soil in the spring season. The lower crowns can be made from a bar of a stronger type of wood or glued, not afraid of contact with moisture. It can be larch or aspen. Since it is on these crowns that the main load will fall. They are taken with a cross section of at least 200x200 mm. It is imperative to make high-quality waterproofing of the lowest crown and between the crown and the foundation. The timber should not have defects or chips, cracks and it is better if it is a dried look.

There are situations when residents, after the construction of a two-story wooden house, complain about blowing out the second floor in the presence of a warm first. This can occur due to the fact that the pressure on the first floor beam is stronger and the gaps between the links are formed less often. The load on the crowns of the second floor is less, and with the beginning of heating and drying it decreases. This can be avoided with a combined structure. When the first floor is made from profiled timber, and the second from glued. It cracks less and retains heat better.

The floor beams between the first and second floors are made from a bar of a smaller section, for example, 100x50, 150x100. Since the coefficient of "deflection" of such a material will be less.

The floor is laid, as a rule, rough and fine. A rough draft can be made from 150x50 boards.

Roof

Roofing work is the final stage of construction. A roof for a waste house is first made from a material of natural moisture, a rough one. And only when the house is stable, they put a clean roof. The duration of the roofing works depends on the complexity of the structure and the selected material.

At the final stage, if the house was built by a contractor, the house is accepted according to the act of acceptance - delivery. After that, you can move in and celebrate housewarming.

Price for the construction of two floors from a bar

The total cost of a two-story log house includes:

1. The cost of the material itself.
2. Cost of work.
3. Transportation price.
4. Price for additional services.

The price will depend on many factors, the main ones of which are:

1. View and section of the source material.
2. Features of the project of a wooden house.
3. The need for additional operations during installation.
4. The cost of work that will be associated with the ambitions and professionalism of the developer.
5. Remoteness of works from the developer's company.

The average cost of one square of a two-storey wooden house made of a simple material of natural humidity in Russia ranges from 4200 to 10,000. We have calculated the approximate cost of a square made of various types of timber and for your convenience we present them to you in the form of a table:
