Erected by modern technology, concrete houses They are characterized by high durability that traditional materials cannot match today. Our company is engaged in the design and installation of residential buildings built in a monolithic way, for many years, you can order a consultation by calling our managers.
Concrete houses, one-story and two-story, advantages
One of the most important characteristics that distinguishes this technology, Is a high speed of construction and a fairly low cost of work. All labor costs are one-time in nature and are carried out directly at the customer's site.
House from monolithic concrete - this is a great opportunity to realize all your ideas about the correct geometry of the building. Permanent formwork today allows adding as many original architectural elements to a new structure as the customer needs.
The construction of concrete houses is carried out in such a way that the need for interior decoration walls and ceilings. All surfaces have a smooth texture without bulging or grooves. Concrete floors in this type of house do not require leveling with a screed. This not only saves the customer's time, but also his costs for additional finishing work.
A private solid concrete house makes it possible to reduce the thickness of the walls without reducing them bearing capacity... This, in turn, reduces the consumption of materials for the construction of the foundation, while the price of the entire structure is significantly reduced.
The concrete frame of the house in combination with the use of modern heaters allows you to get rooms in which it is warm in winter and cool in summer. High thermal insulation performance is another way to save on heating costs in winter.
Concrete frame houses are gradually replacing traditional technologies and brick construction. The walls and ceilings erected in a monolithic way have no seams or joints, due to which the soundproofing of the premises is significantly increased.
You can send an application for obtaining reliable information on how a house from concrete blocks is being built using the feedback form. The specialists of our company have extensive experience in working with the most demanding customers. We have our own view of construction modern home from concrete panels or blocks, as well as insulation of walls and floors in a building. The price of the services of our qualified specialists fully meets the high quality of the work performed. In order to correctly fill the concrete floor in a wooden private house, it is better to turn to professionals at the initial stage. Execution of all work in accordance with the standards will not only save the time spent on the construction of the building, but also the customer's financial resources. House made of concrete slabs - a good option solve the housing issue in the shortest possible time.
They are very popular among developers cast-in-place concrete houses... And this interest is caused for a reason, because the main advantages of such a building are durability, flexibility of layout, absence of joints, which in turn provides good sound insulation, thermal insulation and water resistance of the entire structure as a whole. There is also no need for subsequent plastering of the walls, which significantly reduces construction costs.
Construction of a monolithic house consists of the following technological stages:
1. Installation of reinforcing cages
2. Installation of formwork
3. Fill, seal
4. Concrete care (watering, heating) - if necessary
5. Stripping
The diameter of the reinforcement and their number in the reinforcement cages, as well as the grade of concrete, are selected by calculation. The formwork can be a permanent formwork, which will also serve as thermal insulation. Compaction of concrete is necessary so that there are no voids in the future structure, because this reduces its strength. Watering of concrete is carried out in order to prevent rapid drying, since rapid drying leads to the formation of shrinkage cracks... If the work is carried out in winter, then it is necessary to warm up the concrete mixture for its normal strength gain.
As elsewhere, before starting construction cast-in-place concrete houses we must decide on the type of foundation.
Foundation for a monolithic house
As foundation for a monolithic house it is best to use either foundation slab (Figure 1), or strip foundation (Figure 2). It will more likely depend on your geology. If the ground is bad, then you should think about slab foundation, but it will be more expensive than tape. And if the soil allows you to put a strip foundation, then it will be the best option for price and quality for you.

Walls in monolithic house
Both removable and non-removable formwork can be used to raise the walls in a monolithic house. As mentioned earlier, if you use a fixed formwork, then it will also act as thermal insulation, and the complexity of the work will decrease. Removable formwork is more versatile and can be used many times, but more skilled workers are needed to work with such formwork.
The video shows pictures erection of walls of a monolithic house.
Monolithic flooring in the house
For device monolithic floor in addition to the formwork, telescopic racks with tripods and beams are also needed (Figure 3), on which moisture-resistant shields will be laid (Figure 4).

Figure 4
After the installation of the formwork, reinforcement cages are arranged, and everything is poured with concrete (Figure 5). Usually, one frame is placed below for the perception of positive moments, and the second on top - for negative ones.

Advantages of a monolithic house:
1. The durability of the building.
2. Flexibility of planning (any form of the building).
3. Lack of joints, and as a result, good heat, sound and noise insulation of the house. Increased water resistance of the structure.
4. Speed \u200b\u200bof construction.
5. Small wall thickness, which means more living space.
6. High seismic resistance.
But along with advantages of a monolithic house, there are also disadvantages.
Cons of monolithic houses:
1. Increased labor intensity.
2. The need for concrete maintenance.
3. It is advisable to pour concrete continuously so that there are no joints.
But, even not counting all the disadvantages of a monolithic house, we will have an excellent structure that will delight us with its comfort and will stand for a long time.
Recently, developers are increasingly giving preference to concrete as a material for building a house. This is not surprising, since concrete buildings are highly durable and durable, and the construction process itself is quite simple. In this article, we will take a closer look at how to build a house out of concrete with our own hands.
General information
Before deciding on the construction of a concrete house, you should familiarize yourself with all the advantages and disadvantages of such construction:
Advantages
Among the advantages of concrete buildings are the following points.
- The concrete house is monolithic construction , due to which it has good mechanical strength, and also perfectly tolerates seismic activity.
- Construction can be done on any soil.
- Concrete houses are built quickly.
- Construction price is relatively low.
- It is possible to build a house of any configuration.
- Concrete walls can be finished with any material.
- Possibility of the slab as a floor.
- Concrete new building gives uniform shrinkage.
disadvantages
Of course, there are also disadvantages of such construction, however, there are not very many of them:
- Requires certain equipment such as a concrete mixer and vibrator. If the house is being built on several floors, then a concrete pump will also be required.
- When erecting a monolithic floor, labor costs increase, since it is necessary to perform formwork and reinforcement.
- Concrete has a fairly high level of thermal conductivity, so the walls must be insulated before finishing.
Concrete house construction
Project
You need to start construction with the preparation of the project. Easiest to find finished project on the Internet, however, you can order it from specialized firms.
In this case, the project will be individual, in compliance with all your wishes. At the same time, companies perform a complete calculation of the structure, including wall thicknesses, concrete grade, etc.
The main advantage of an individual project is that it can be unusual, able to favorably distinguish your house from the background neighboring buildings... For example, projects of houses made of concrete and glass have been popular recently. Such buildings have not only an interesting appearance, but also provide good illumination of the premises with sunlight.
Foundation
Building a house made of concrete, in fact, like any other construction, begins with the construction of the foundation. Since the concrete structure is heavy, it needs a strong and solid foundation... Most often, they perform a strip or pile-strip foundation.
The depth of the foundation should be greater than the level of soil freezing.
Work begins with the preparation of trenches:
- First of all, the preparation of the construction site and the marking are carried out. For this, stakes are driven in at the corners of the future structure and ropes are pulled.
- Then trenches of the required size are dug. Their width depends on the thickness of the walls.
- Next, the formwork is made from chipboard or wooden boards. The formwork must be securely fastened, therefore, spacers and lintels should be used when installing it. The formwork must be carried out taking into account that the foundation should rise half a meter from the soil surface.
- The next step is styling sand pillow... To do this, the bottom of the trenches is covered with a layer of sand at least 15 cm thick and well compacted.
- After laying the pillow, reinforcement is performed - this is a very important procedure, since the strength and durability of the structure depends on it. As a rule, foundation reinforcement is metal carcass, consisting of four rods of reinforcement, fastened together with steel wire.
This completes the preparation of trenches for the foundation. Now you need to make concrete, for one cubic meter of solution you need the following number of components:
Advice!
To improve the quality of concrete, plasticizers are added to the composition.
In addition, to give the material certain properties, special ones are used, for example, anti-frost, which allow construction works at subzero temperatures.
The instructions for preparing concrete are as follows:
- First of all, you need to mix cement and sand.
- Then water is added to the dry mixture.
- The final step is the addition of coarse filler. The resulting mixture should be mixed well so that the solution is homogeneous with an even distribution of gravel.
After the concrete has been prepared, you can start pouring the foundation. The procedure is performed evenly around the entire perimeter. It is advisable to fill it in one step.
After 28 days, you must complete horizontal waterproofing foundation, laying two layers of roofing material on it. After that, the floor slabs are installed using a crane.
Walling
The principle of building walls is about the same as building a foundation. First of all, the formwork is erected.
I must say that the formwork can be of two types:
- Removable;
- Fixed, made of polystyrene or foam.
In the photo - permanent formwork
- Simplicity and speed of installation, which saves time and effort. The installation of the formwork is reminiscent of the assembly of the Lego constructor.
- Allows you to create any layout and configuration of premises in accordance with the project requirements.
- Provides thermal insulation of the building, so that you do not have to perform additional thermal insulation work.
- The cost of the formwork is not high.
- Allows to make walls thinner without damaging the structure.
Construction process concrete walls using not removable formwork as follows:
- First of all, it is necessary to correctly calculate and purchase formwork elements.
- Then the formwork is installed on the prepared base and assembled from individual segments.
- After the installation of the formwork, work is carried out on the installation of pipes and other communications.
- Further, a metal frame or reinforcement rods are installed in the formwork.
- After that, a solution is prepared according to the scheme described above.
- After all preparatory work pouring in progress. Daily rate filling is no more than 70 cm. Thus, this operation must be repeated until the formwork is completely filled.
After the walls are ready, floor slabs are laid and the roof is erected, in accordance with the project. As mentioned above, concrete houses made using fixed formwork, do not need insulation, so after their construction, you can immediately start finishing.
If the construction is carried out using removable formwork, then for these purposes boards about 50 mm thick will be needed, which are knocked down into shields. Otherwise, the process is the same as when using a fixed formwork. The only thing, after the construction of the building box, it is necessary to carry out insulation.
Note!
To prevent the formwork from ripping apart during the pouring process, metal ties should be placed in its lower part, fixed with a bolted connection.
Output
It is quite simple to build a house from reinforced concrete, however, design calculations and construction technology must be strictly observed. The result of this work will be a reliable and durable home. You can get more information on this topic from the video in this article.
