Combined houses made of stone and wood, the designs of which usually include a brick (stone, concrete) first (ground) floor and wooden second (attic ) is an attempt to level out the disadvantages of some materials at the expense of the advantages of others. Stone (brick) is very strong, durable and reliable material, but at the same time it takes a very long time to warm up and requires both internal and often external finishing work.

Wood is an environmentally friendly and healthy material with excellent thermal insulation, but it is also very fire hazardous and relatively short-lived. Combining these materials allows you to minimize costs, ensuring maximum energy savings and high construction speed.

Features of designing combined houses

House designs using stone and wood have a fairly long architectural history. These include half-timbered houses, which wooden frame filled with stones, or alpine chalets, which were originally the dwellings of shepherds.

However, the construction of a combined house made of wood and stone was quite common in Russian architecture - in the 19th century, enterprising middle-class merchants, minimizing costs, built two-story houses, in which the first floor made of stone was “business” - it housed a store (shop) or office. But the second floor was allocated for living space.

A combined stone-wood house will allow you to make the most of strengths each material:

• the use of brick (stone, concrete blocks) - a non-combustible material - on the ground floor is quite justified, because there is a living room with fireplace, kitchen, possibly a garage and other rooms with increased risk occurrence of a fire. In addition, in this case it will be easier to obtain permission and install the boiler on the ground floor

• durability - to the greatest negative impact(moisture, fungus, mold, insects) it is the lower crowns that are exposed wooden house, close to the ground. The first floor, built of brick, will last for decades without reducing reliability, because brick is practically not affected by negative natural factors, and wood will be protected from moisture and the influence of groundwater

Advice! When designing combined houses, you can abandon the high foundation characteristic of wooden houses– brick withstands moisture well.

• profitability - in financially a combined brick + wood house will cost less than a completely brick house, and this is only if you take into account the cost of the material. It is worth considering additional costs: insulation of brick walls, Finishing work, heating the residential floor - the financial benefits will be especially noticeable

• energy efficiency - wood retains heat much better than brick, which will save on heating the living area, but you should not neglect the insulation of the basement

• combining materials will significantly reduce total weight buildings, so you can further save on laying the foundation

Advice! To further reduce weight, the second floor can be constructed using non-material timber or rounded logs, but use frame technology

• speed of construction - both the brick and wooden parts of the house are built quite quickly, but while the wooden part is shrinking (this can take up to a year for rounded logs, for laminated veneer lumber this is not very significant), you can finish the first floor and even move into it

• aesthetics - combining materials allows you to get a very unusual and attractive exterior; such designs make it possible to implement interesting and non-standard design solutions and approaches.

The first floor, built of brick, is distinguished by its excellent practical advantages - it is stable, strong, ideal for equipment bathrooms, laundry room, boiler room, mini-swimming pool, heated garage, as well as a kitchen, dining room and living room. The second floor, built of wood, is distinguished by an atmosphere of comfort and warmth, thanks to its natural qualities, wood provides natural air exchange and humidity regulation, so it is optimal to equip rooms here with a minimum engineering communications and installations - bedrooms, children's rooms, office.

IN modern construction There is a gradual abandonment of brick in favor of aerated concrete or other types of cellular concrete. First of all, they are lighter, which allows for additional savings on laying the foundation. Important point– with the same strength, aerated concrete has significantly best performance thermal insulation than brick. But the second floor can be built from rounded logs, profiled or laminated timber, or frame method.

There are two approaches to designing the facade of combined houses:

• unified style - in this case, the entire house is decorated in the same style, the difference between floors is completely eliminated, for which both decorative plaster and siding can be used. Brick floor can be finished imitation timber, block house, clapboard, etc., so that visually the house is completely wooden

• different design - the second floor in this case remains untouched (the wood can only be additionally painted or varnished), the first floor is finished decorative bricks or plaster, tiles, stone (natural or artificial).

During the construction of combined houses special attention will require a transition from a brick part to a wooden one. Between floors, reinforcing metal pins are used as a connecting element - placing them in the upper rows of brick (stone) masonry, they are used to secure the first crowns of the second floor. Required condition– creating a waterproofing layer, for which you can use roofing felt, polyurethane foam and other materials that will provide protection wooden structures from moisture.

Combining materials is a favorite pastime of designers; in capital construction it is used to solve important practical problems. Proper combination of the physical qualities of stone and wood in the load-bearing walls of a building gives the developer a tangible benefit in cost and comfort.

It is these two factors that have made houses made of combined materials popular and widespread in modern suburban construction.

What combinations are reasonable and permissible when constructing such a structure?

Most often, stone (brick, monolithic concrete, aerated concrete or expanded clay blocks). The second floor is built from rounded logs or laminated veneer lumber.

It should be noted that combinations of different wall materials may also affect external finishing. A combined house allows you to use any options facade decor: the brick walls of the first floor can be finished with a blockhouse, insulating them using the “ventilated facade” technology.

The second frame floor can be improved decorative plaster or stone tiles. As an example, we invite you to look at the photo below.

Looking at such a house, you will not be able to unambiguously answer the question of what it is built from. load-bearing walls. Although it is also used here combined technology construction of walls. The first floor of this building is brick, lined with siding. The second is a wooden frame finished with ceramic tiles.

Constructive options for combined houses

Despite the variety of facade decor, the construction of combined houses must comply with the main principle: 1st floor is stone, 2nd floor is wood. It provides the building with the necessary strength and creates conditions for comfortable living on the second floor. Another problem solved by the combination of materials is reducing the labor intensity and cost of construction.

Anyone who does not want to spend extra money on exterior decoration is doing the right thing. The combination of stone and wood is optimal not only for structural reasons, but also from an aesthetic standpoint. Therefore, do not hide behind the finishing what looks perfect in itself.

An example would be a mansion built in a deliberately rough combination natural stone and logs. It fully complies with the canons of country style.

It originates from the harsh mountainous terrain, invented by Alpine shepherds. It also used the idea of ​​combining durable stone and warm wood.

Life in the mountains requires maximum reliability and functionality. Therefore, the first level of the chalet is always built from durable rock that is not afraid of snow debris, rockfalls and water. The second floor is designed to create comfort and coziness. Can't find one for these purposes best material than natural wood.

The “ancestral sign” of all buildings built in the chalet style is wide roof overhangs that protect the walls from heavy rains and melting snowdrifts.

Modern combined houses made of stone and wood are extremely diverse, since the choice of wall materials is very wide. If you are not satisfied with torn stone or flat limestone “flagstone”, then build the first floor from. They are quite durable and at the same time as warm as natural wood.

When preparing for construction, do not forget that houses made of foam blocks and wood require a reliable connection between the first and second floors. Cellular concrete– the material is quite fragile. Therefore, it will not hold the steel anchors securing the second level support beam.

A competent solution for such a design is pouring on foam block walls monolithic belt made of reinforced concrete. It increases the spatial rigidity of the building and allows you to securely fix the anchor bolts.

The appearance of a foam block wall is not very expressive. Therefore, it is better to cover it with blockhouse or siding, laying a vapor barrier and a layer of mineral wool insulation behind the façade cladding.

For combined construction cottage can be used. They are stronger than foam concrete, not as fragile and very warm. Finishing arbolite walls not labor-intensive, since any decorative plaster adheres well to them.

The second floor can be built from planed timber. This material retains heat well in a residential floor and does not require finishing cladding.

If you need a three-level combined house made of brick and timber, then build it according to this scheme: the ground technical floor is monolithic reinforced concrete, the first level is brick, the second is a frame or log house.

Talking about frame version walls of the second floor, note that it will not only save your money, but also allow you to flexibly change internal layout, adapting it to family needs.

You can hide the frame of the second floor behind the finishing. Another interesting option- specially highlight it, turning it into an element of facade decor. For this purpose, half-timbering is best suited - an ancient frame system in which posts, beams and cross braces face the facade.

A serious problem with all cottages is dampness on the ground floor. A combined house solves it simply and functionally. The lower floor is reserved for utility rooms. Here you can equip a boiler room, a bathhouse, a workshop and a garage. Bedrooms, bathrooms, dressing rooms, playrooms and a kitchen are located on the second, drier floor.

A combined house and a combined facade are not the same thing!

As we have already said, the combination of different wall materials is the main feature of a combined building. In contrast, the combined façade of a house can be used on any residential building.

For example, by building a cottage from insulated sandwich panels, you can easily “disguise” it as a stone one. For this you can use ceramic tiles, sandstone, porcelain stoneware or rustic plaster. If a regular one is used for laying walls, and not face brick, then a “combi-facade” would also be appropriate.

The photo shows a house being built from brick and timber. Obviously, the unsightly brickwork will require additional finishing. It doesn’t have to be decorated like a stone. It is enough to fill the blockhouse along the guides and your house will be completely “wooden”. Another option is a combination of semicircular false logs on the first floor and laminated veneer lumber on the second.

Pros and cons of the combination idea

Having noted the main advantages of combined buildings: efficiency, planning flexibility, aesthetics and functionality, we will point out the disadvantages of such buildings.

The main one is different time“life” of stone and wood. In rocks it reaches 150 years. At best, the tree will last half a century. For light frames and panel walls this period will be even shorter. Therefore, a moment will inevitably come when the first stone floor is still quite strong and reliable, and the walls of the second floor already require repairs.

Since combined country houses in Russia are still quite young, then negative experience different speeds There is no aging of wall materials. Therefore, reviews from their owners are mostly positive.

To summarize, we advise everyone who has decided to build a combined cottage not to forget about the different service life of the first and second floors. To extend the life of the walls, buy well-dried and antiseptic wood, and trust the assembly of the frame to experienced professionals, not hackers.

A wooden frame requires a properly assembled drainage system to prevent moisture from entering the wood. In addition, at the construction stage, constant quality control of the sealing of all cross sections is required. wooden racks and beams.

Brick strength and natural beauty wood - these are the main criteria that have forced people to make a choice in favor of these materials for centuries. And if you combine them, you can generally get an unexpected result in terms of aesthetics.

Which option should you prefer: the first floor is brick, the second is wooden - or simply, as shown above, use wood to make architectural elements?

And in general, what designs of combined houses made of brick and wood can be adopted by those who decide to build a house with their own hands? You will learn about this and much more from the material we present.

How to combine wood and brick

Both wood and brick can equally well play the role of both constructive and finishing material– therefore, they are easy to combine. If we talk about a building as such, it can be called combined when at least two wall construction technologies are used during the construction process.

Note! Since wood has less strength than brick, it is often combined like this: the 1st floor is brick, the 2nd floor is wooden - the house looks very interesting, especially if its design follows any architectural style.

In addition to the fact that such combinations greatly decorate the facade, they also make it possible to really save the construction budget. The use of lighter material at the upper level reduces the load on the foundation.

And then, the second floor can be built not only from heavy timber or logs - there are other alternatives.

Frame walls for the second floor

One of them can be considered frame technology. Its essence lies in the construction of a wooden frame, which serves as the basis for creating a multilayer structure made of thick insulation, protective roll membranes, internal and external cladding.

As a result, light and very warm walls are obtained:

• It should be said that the outside of the wooden frame is sheathed with moisture-resistant plywood or OSB boards. These materials are also related to wood, as they are its derivatives. During the finishing process, they are often painted, performing contrasting decorative paneling with wooden or composite slats, which makes it possible to create a “half-timbered” design, which you see in the photo below.

• If price is of decisive importance to you, then keep in mind that the construction of the second floor is frame technology, gives maximum savings. You can, of course, use it to build an entire house, but along with undeniable advantages, there are also many disadvantages. The insulation incorporated into the structure has a limited service life - after a couple of decades, the sheathing has to be dismantled in order to replace it.
• The timber from which the frame is assembled, no matter how you treat it, rots over time. Therefore, according to service life, frame houses in no way can compete with the durability of brick buildings. Add to this the increased fire hazard and attractiveness to insects and rodents - and you will understand that it is better to build the first floor of the house from brick.

• The layout in such houses is usually carried out like this. Downstairs there are common areas: entrance hall, kitchen and dining room, living room. Guest rooms are also often located on the ground floor. On the upper level they plan bedrooms, children's rooms, equip work area: office or workshop. Bathrooms in two-story house usually done both below and above.
• By the way, in designed low-rise buildings, the frame can be made not of wood, but of metal, which will allow the introduction of elements brickwork not only downstairs, but also on the second floor. In such projects there is often panoramic glazing, which makes such combinations even more interesting.

• Concepts of many architectural styles: hi-tech, techno, minimalism - do not involve the use of wood at all. That is why in such houses there are no wooden windows and traditional frame roofs constructed from wooden rafters. Their design is based on all possible combinations of materials such as concrete, metal, glass.

If brick is present, it is only as a structural material, the surface of which is lined or plastered. If wood is used, it is only for partial finishing, a version of which you can see in the example below.

Well, to each his own, and there is no arguing about tastes! Next, you will be offered instructions for installing wooden structures, without which it is impossible to build an ordinary private house.

Wooden structures for a brick house

A brick wall is an excellent solid foundation for building a second floor made of wood. By by and large, there is not much difference between making a full second floor or adding an attic.

The only difference between them is the height of the walls, and the absence of beam floor.

Connection of brick and wood between floors

Since all top part The house is made of wood, which means it has a relatively light weight; an armored belt between floors does not need to be made. In general, the decision to install armored belts on walls in low-rise construction is made depending on bearing capacity wall material and type of overlap.

Note! The brick itself has the necessary strength to withstand even the weight reinforced concrete slabs– the main thing is that the thickness of the masonry is correctly calculated for this. Moreover, brick, along with concrete, is often used to install armored belts on walls made of foam and gas blocks. So, you don’t have to worry about this, even if the walls of the second floor are built from fairly heavy timber or logs.

So:

• If the ceiling is beam, then along the top row of brickwork an additional reinforcing row should be provided in the form steel mesh. Under the slab floor, which creates additional loads, you will need to lay several rows of interconnected reinforcing bars along the walls, as shown in the photo above.
• But we think that if you decide to build the second floor from wood, you are unlikely to want to complicate the work and install concrete plates. In any case, in order to install structural elements wooden walls on brick walls, anchor bolts must be embedded in the masonry to allow mechanical fastening.

Strips of roofing material are strung onto the studs, which will serve as a waterproofing layer between the perimeter of the brickwork and lower crown timber or log wall. If the second floor is built using frame technology, brick wall beams will be mounted in the same way bottom trim. The video in this article will help you understand this process clearly.

Ceilings and floors

Before we talk about how to make a wooden floor in brick house, you need to decide on the design of the floors. Laying process flooring frame type, which is a wooden floor, is simplified as much as possible on a wooden beam floor.

In this case, the boardwalk is part of a multi-layer floor structure. But first, of course, it needs to be installed correctly - and we will try to briefly talk about how this is done.

First of all, it is necessary to pay close attention to the quality of the timber, which will bear considerable loads:

• Firstly, it must be wood coniferous species, which works best in bending.
• Secondly, it is better if it is planed, well-dried timber, the length of which should completely cover the run - the distance between opposite load-bearing walls.

• Since the walls of the first floor are built from brick, the installation of floor beams is carried out in the same way as in all brick houses. Their length depends on the chosen method of fastening: if these are special metal consoles, then it is equal to the length of the purlin.
• When laying the ends of the beams into specially provided nests in the wall, the necessary margin must also be taken into account: 12-15 cm from each end. The only thing that should not be forgotten is that the wood should never come into direct contact with metal or brickwork.
• Therefore, the ends of the beams are wrapped with protective material, without tightly closing the ends, and, if necessary, shock-absorbing pads are installed under them. To prevent the appearance of cold bridges, free space The recesses into which the ends of the beams will be inserted are filled with insulation.

• As for metal fasteners, they must be stainless - otherwise their corrosion will provoke a process of rotting in the thickness of the wood. Design attic floor similar to the interfloor option. Only the attachment of beams to a wooden wall is done somewhat differently, and their cross-section may be smaller - in any case, if the attic is non-residential.
• Since the space between the beams is then filled with insulation, the pitch of the floor elements is selected based on the width of the material, but usually does not exceed 60 cm. Beams can, of course, have a square cross-section, for example: 150 * 150 mm, but this size is mainly used when they want to use them in the ceiling design.
• The most economical in terms of wood consumption is the option with a cross-section of 50*150, or even 50*180 mm - that is, in fact, this is a thick board mounted on an edge. Approximate diagram You can see the beam floor assemblies in the picture above. Here the insulation is laid on boards that line the ceiling of the lower room.

• But there is another option. Mounted to the sides of the beams cranial bars small section on which they lay wooden boards or plywood. This approach gives more possibilities to decorate the ceiling of the lower room - for example: you can install a suspended or suspended ceiling there.
• A vapor barrier membrane is installed on top of the beams, which simultaneously plays the role of a shock-absorbing layer. Then, as a rule, a counter-lattice is filled in the transverse direction - it will serve as the basis for installing the floor covering. If you want to make not a boardwalk, but, for example, lay roll covering: linoleum, carpet, or build a heated floor system into the “pie”, then you will first have to install a subfloor made of plywood or chipboard.

• The filling of frame walls is carried out according to a very similar scenario. If the second floor of your house is built using this technology, then a horizontal frame of racks will be installed along the upper perimeter of the walls, as well as below. By the way, the strapping beam here will play the role of a mauerlat, which serves as the base rafter system roofs.
• By the way, regardless of the design of the walls or ceilings, it is always constructed of wood. In addition, few people would think of installing plastic joinery in the openings of wooden walls - so you can’t do without wood here either. The technology for installing wooden windows in a brick house is not particularly different from the process of installing them on log or frame walls, and instructions on this topic are easy to find.

You can also make a balcony and shutters from wood, decorate the porch beautifully, build a terrace at the entrance, install a permanent canopy or an elegant pergola.

There are a lot of options for using wood in home design: both exterior and interior - and for those who love and know how to work with it, there is a wide field for creativity. All that remains is to put your talents into practice, and then admire the fruits of your labor and enjoy the energy of the tree for many years.

Today, people who are planning to build a residential building may notice that there are a lot of building options. A house made of brick and timber is popular among owners of private plots. Not surprising, because such buildings have whole line significant advantages that indicate that such buildings have the right to life.

Project option for a combined brick and timber house
Construction of a house with a large attic

Both projects of combined houses made of brick and timber, as well as lining wooden houses with bricks, are popular. Both options are quite worthy of finding their place in the private sector. Before you finally place a bet on such a structure, you need to familiarize yourself with the advantages of such structures.
First of all, the choice of such buildings is chosen by people who are tired of the banality and want something fundamentally new. In fact, combined houses have recently begun to appear in private sectors.

An example of finishing the first floor with decorative bricks

That is why not everyone has heard of such structures, and only a few have seen them in reality. Everything new is attractive and interesting. Therefore, it is worth paying tribute to the architects, and also thoroughly studying all the features of such buildings.

A combined house is most often chosen by people who:

These are just some of the factors that become key when choosing such designs.
People who chose the option and in one building are satisfied with the result of their labors or work construction company.

What are the advantages of combined houses made of brick and timber

What materials are chosen for such buildings?

It is worth understanding what kind of raw materials are used for the construction of combined houses.
Like any building material, timber has several varieties.

Design and construction of a combined building

Depending on the requirements and wishes of the owner of a private plot, you can choose the following types of timber:

Profiled

Such bars fit very tightly to each other. Therefore, this material is not required additional treatments and grinding.

Diagram with size and connection of profiled timber
Existing options locks for profiled timber

That is, this option is ideal if you don’t want to put a lot of effort into the finished look of the building.

Not profiled

The advantage of this material is its relatively low pricing policy. However, such raw materials are used extremely rarely for the construction of combined houses due to the fact that their quality parameters are quite low.

Glued

This material is widely used for the construction of combined houses. has high heat resistance and also provides sound insulation.

Glued laminated timber for cottage assembly

This material is considered the most reliable and durable for building combined houses. This kind of material will help you build a house of brick and timber that will last for decades.
Some people prefer to build a house made of timber, lined with brick.

This helps to ensure an aesthetically attractive appearance of the structure, as well as significant savings on repair work indoors.

Projects of houses made of brick and timber

Of course, the owners land plot can decide for themselves what it will look like finished design Houses. However, it is much smarter and more economical to purchase a ready-made one. This will help:

All these factors indicate that the project is profitable and reasonable. Despite the fact that I finished project costs some money, if you analyze the benefits, it is cheaper to initially erect a building that is ideal in its design than to correct errors later, which also costs money.

What projects are worth paying attention to?

All three projects are worthy and are often chosen by private sector owners. Such houses look noble and harmonious. The space inside is also very cozy and pleasant to be in.

IN modern times There are many ideas that are taken into account when it comes to construction. A house made of foam block and wood often becomes the choice of owners of land plots who want to construct an unusual, at the same time budget-friendly and aesthetically beautiful structure for living or recreation.

Such designs have many advantages. Those who have already become the owner of a house made of foam block and wood will be able to especially note them. Such buildings serve for many years and never cease to amaze with their remarkable and reliability. This shelter can rightfully be called an excellent option, as well as a wonderful place for permanent residence.

Often a material such as foam block is chosen. This material has a lot of factors that favor the choice of this particular raw material for the construction of a residential building structure. Reasons why they are popular:

All these advantages of foam concrete blocks indicate that it is not for nothing that many rely on this type building material.

Disadvantages of foam concrete blocks

Along with a huge number of advantages, like everyone building materials, foam concrete blocks They also have a number of disadvantages.

Existing types and sizes of foam concrete blocks

These are:

As you can see, there are significantly fewer disadvantages than advantages, and besides, you can handle the material in such a way that you don’t even have to remember the disadvantages.

What are the advantages of timber houses?

Often found on private property. Projects for timber structures are presented in a wide range on the modern market. It is not surprising that such houses are built by people with different levels of financial opportunities. In addition, such material has a number of advantages, due to which the bet is placed on it:

These advantages help owners of land plots to decide exactly what exactly such structures are worthy of having their place on the territory of their plots.

Along with the advantages, there are also a number of disadvantages. You should weigh everything so that you don’t end up in the red later:

Advantages of combined houses made of foam block and wood

The ideal solution for those who cannot decide on the choice of material for construction is the construction of combined houses made of foam blocks and wood. It is fundamentally new idea, which will help eliminate all possible disadvantages of the two materials and use only their advantages. Positive aspects, which are dominated by combined houses made of foam blocks and wood are:

• Rational use of both materials;
  Decorating a house made of wood and foam blocks

  

• Thanks to the combination, the first floor is durable and not subject to corrosion. The second floor, the main material of which is wood, creates a harmonious atmosphere in the space and provides the design of the house with new trends in architectural ideas;
• A building constructed from combinations of two materials is advantageous in terms of pricing. Both types of raw materials are quite affordable in price, and their the right combination will help to avoid possible disadvantages that each of the materials has;
  
  
  
• have a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing appearance. The exterior of such structures looks attractive and modern;
• Also houses made of wood and foam concrete blocks, thanks to new technology, combine durability and environmentally friendly space.

In general, we can say with confidence that combined houses are a worthy solution for those who prefer durability and reliability, and also like to manage their budget wisely.

It is the combined houses that become the choice of those who prefer reasonable expenditure of funds and the organization of a harmonious, thoughtful space.

Features of the construction of combined houses made of foam block and wood

Of course, the construction of combined houses has its own characteristics. Due to these features, the choice often falls on this type of building. These are:

• Construction speed;
• It is quite easy to build a combined house; even a person who has no previous experience in construction can cope with the task. Of course, if you have no skills at all in the matter of construction, then it is better to seek help from professionals;
  Example of a second floor design with closed balcony

  

  The process of constructing a building from foam block

• Construction of a combined house according to a pre-selected project will not be difficult... The most important thing is to think through all the details at the stage of choosing a design;
• When a house is built according to a project, the owner of the land plot will not have to purchase materials for the house with a reserve. This will help you significantly save your budget and become the owner of a magnificent “fortress” in which both relaxation and life are unusual and filled with harmony;
• Combined houses should be built in stages. This will allow the structure to take the necessary stability and adapt to environment;

• First of all, of course, it is organized. Due to the lightness of the design, a “pillow” for a building will be inexpensive. Materials that do not give a high load on the base of the structure will significantly;
• The next stage in the construction of combined structures is the laying of foam concrete blocks. This material must be handled very carefully. This will help you avoid incurring additional costs for purchasing additional units of raw materials that have deteriorated during the laying process;
  The process of laying foam concrete blocks

  

• After the foam concrete blocks have been laid, the structure should be left for a short time. Foam concrete blocks must become resilient and adapt to the prevailing climatic situation;
• Then you can begin construction of the second floor. Sometimes in combined houses it is assumed that the entire structure will be built from wooden beams, and then finishing the finished structure with foam concrete blocks on top of wood. In this case, the steps of action are clear.
  If each of the blocks (foam concrete blocks and wood) are separate, then the construction of the second floor will require additional efforts from the owner of the land plot or from the construction company. Combined houses made of foam blocks and wood must be built thoughtfully, carefully fulfilling the requirements for density and adhesion of materials;
• After the second floor is ready, the owners of the land plot can move into a residential building.
