When we install a wooden house, to outsiders it sometimes seems as if a whole house would be built within two or three days.
Of course, that's not entirely true.
The actual assembly actually goes very quickly. However, most of the work has already taken place at this point.
First, plan
Before we start working in the workshop, the house must be planned out quite precisely.
Where are the windows located? How are installations carried out? What components are used? How are wall, ceiling and roof connected together? How do airtightness and facade connections work?
In timber construction, it pays to resolve these issues early on.
Because everything that was previously planned neatly must not have to be improvised on the construction site later on.
Then prepare in advance
Subsequently, the individual components are produced in our facility.
Walls are being built, insulated, and plastered. Depending on the project, windows or parts of the facade may already be installed.
The ceilings and roof elements are being prepared.
All of this takes place dry and under good working conditions in the workshop.
Then the elements are loaded and brought to the construction site.
And suddenly a house appears
On the construction site, we assemble the elements using the crane.
Then it really gets fast.
Within a short time, individual walls become rooms, floors, and finally a complete building.
That is exactly one of the great strengths of timber construction for me.
But the reason for the speed on the construction site isn’t that there’s less work involved.
That’s because we did the work beforehand.
The better the planning and prefabrication are, the smoother the assembly later on will be.
And that is exactly how it should be.
