Construction of frame and panel houses using frame-timber technology

Fast construction, mobility, and functionality—frame and panel houses have numerous advantages. This construction technology was invented in Canada over 40 years ago. The principle of building a house is based on creating a frame using wooden beams with insulation in between. This results in a lightweight yet sturdy building at a relatively low cost. The experts at “Module-Prefab” company will explain the other features, benefits, and stages of constructing a frame and panel house.

Types of frame technologies:

There are two construction technologies for modular houses:

  • Frame-panel
  • Frame-timber

More about it:

Frame-timber technology involves manufacturing panels in factory conditions, which are later assembled onto the foundation. These panels serve as the frame of the house. Additional insulation is installed internally and externally after assembling the house frame since the panels do not have it in their structure.

Frame and panel wall technology consists of manufacturing all construction elements directly in the workshop. Ready-made frame panels such as walls, floors, and roofs are delivered to the construction site.

The advantages of frame and panel technology are that it allows construction in any weather conditions, regardless of the season.

When creating houses for you, “Module-Prefab” company utilizes various frame construction technologies, one of which is frame and panel. Our production is based in Lviv and covers an area of 2200m2. We source materials from reliable suppliers, which is why our houses are durable, energy-efficient, and cozy. We insulate the houses using Icynene foam or basalt wool.

How long does it take to assemble a frame-timber house?

A frame house can be built several times faster than traditional brick houses. The entire construction process, from initial work to project completion, takes 3-6 months. The exact time depends on the project’s specifics, such as the size, number of floors, and design.
