Construction workflow

Project design

Every new house construction project is preceded by a design proposal, which should respect the principles and requirements of the construction system used. Among other things, this makes the design clearer, simplifies assembly, and, most importantly, maximizes all the possibilities offered by the system. The same applies to the K-KONTROL® construction system. Therefore, when designing a building, it is advisable to consider a modular grid and incorporate all the load-bearing structures of the house into it.

Foundation of the building

In most cases, assembly begins by anchoring a deeply impregnated foundation sleeper together with a lower edging wooden element to a pre-made foundation slab with waterproofing. However, it is also possible to lay the foundation on foundation strips or a steel foundation frame, etc. When concreting the slab, anchor bolts are installed at the specified distances. When installing the wooden sleepers, it is necessary to carry out precise directional and height measurements and to lay the foundation with an accuracy of ±3 mm. A well-aligned and level foundation sleeper is a prerequisite for trouble-free and easy assembly of the shell. From the very beginning of construction, care must be taken to thoroughly seal all assembly joints. ^K-KONTROL® foam is used to seal larger joints or to fill the space in the wall structure between the wood and polystyrene. ^K-KONTROL® adhesive is used to glue contact-connected wooden elements together or to connect boards and wood^.

Assembly of walls on the first floor

The installation of the walls of the first above-ground floor always begins in the corner by installing and connecting two corner panels. The panels are then laid one after the other and connected with the prescribed panel joints. The opening for the window or door is stacked and left out using a sill and lintel panel. All basic joints between panels within a given structure, as well as the anchoring of inserted wooden edging elements to the edge of the panel^, are made using ^K-KONTROL® clips^.

Installation of ceiling and floor structures

Once the installation of all load-bearing structures on the first floor has been completed, the ceilings can be installed. After proper measurement, suspension brackets are attached using steel screws. Pre-prepared ceiling beams are then inserted vertically into the brackets and fixed with steel screws. Once all the ceiling beams are in place, the rough floor is assembled from tongue-and-groove OSB boards. The boards are attached to the ceiling beams with screws. Thoroughly gluing all the contact surfaces of the ceiling structure prevents unpleasant creaking of the floors in the finished building.

Installation of upper floor walls

The installation of walls on upper floors always begins on the completed ceiling structure above the lower floor. Before installing the panels themselves, the lower edging wooden element is first installed and properly secured. Then the process continues in the same way as with the installation of walls on the first above-ground floor.

Roof installation

After completing the assembly of the load-bearing wall structures and cutting out the pockets for storing the purlins, the actual assembly of the columns and purlins is carried out. Roof panels are placed on the prepared roof support structure. Simultaneously with the assembly of the roof cladding, the openings for roof windows, chimneys, and dormers are cut out and trimmed.
