The market for the construction of wooden houses is absolutely amazing, it is growing steadily by 20-30% annually. Wood is more environmentally friendly, cheaper and more practical than bricks and other materials. And modern mordants and other preparations allow you to remove all the imperfections of the tree. We offer a business plan for a company for the production and construction of wooden houses.
Potential clients
The main buyers of suburban wooden houses are families with a monthly income of $7,000 or more. At the same time, the majority acquire suburban housing for permanent residence or as a seasonal residence. These are top managers of medium and large companies, entrepreneurs, as well as senior officials and representatives of the show industry and sports
Another advantage of wooden houses is the speed of their construction. Depending on the technology and material from which wooden housing is built, it is possible to drive out a box in two to three months, on a turnkey basis - in four to six months. But today more and more Ukrainians are building on a turnkey basis. The fact is that the market is full of negligent builders. Driving a box without windows and doors is easy enough. But to carry out finishing work is an additional problem.
Therefore, potential customers of wooden houses give preference to builders who are ready to shoulder the whole range of work: from laying the foundation to installing plumbing. Naturally, construction companies subcontract some of the work, for example, supplying water, electricity, etc. Performing additional work brings them up to 30% of income. At the same time, some builders keep interior designers, landscape designers on staff, and even produce wooden outdoor and indoor furniture.
Format selection
Most woodworking companies are small businesses that include construction crews, designers, and account managers. The work is facilitated by the availability of ready-made standard projects, in which it is enough just to make changes for a specific customer. As a rule, these firms cooperate with forestries or have their own production sites, where they are engaged in the production of sawn timber and the manufacture of ready-made kits for assembling log cabins.
Wooden houses today are produced using three main technologies and materials: panel, or panel, frame and massive. The most expensive category of houses is made of solid wood. Log cabins cost more than 150 thousand dollars. But in Russia, it is the array that is in the greatest demand - the customers of which are wealthy people who get out of the city to nature.
Logs are best suited for the construction of suburban housing - unlike other building materials, they "breathe". Thus, the humidity inside the log house is maintained at an optimal level by itself, without special equipment for air conditioning. In addition, a log wall has many times better thermal insulation than brick or concrete.
The most expensive technology is manual tes. With manual cutting, the diameter of the logs reaches half a meter. The log is cleaned from the bark by hand. Manual tes is classified as elite technology, and the cost of erecting 1 sq. m costs about $ 1 thousand, the construction of 1 sq. m. costs the same. m brick house.
Profitability, market, working capital
According to some experts, the profitability of wooden construction is at the level of 40-70%, and for individual projects it can reach 80-90%. However, the cost of a house, and, accordingly, the earnings of builders depend on a lot of factors: the type of wood, the diameter of the timber and the area of \u200b\u200bthe house. In Ukraine, as a rule, they use pine, Carpathian smereka, leaf-crown. The most optimal choice in terms of price-quality ratio is pine, larch is about 40-50% more expensive. The larger the diameter of the beam, the higher the price of the finished structure. For the construction of a wooden house in Ukrainian climatic conditions, it is best to choose rounded timber with a diameter of 200-220. The shape of the beam section also affects the cost of the project - a square section will increase the cost by about 5%. As for the area, the larger the area of \u200b\u200bthe future house, the cheaper the construction of each square meter.
A company cannot do without working capital. The fact is that if you accepted an order for the construction of a turnkey house in June, then by September you will definitely build a box. But during this time, the cost of finishing materials can jump by 10-20%. Therefore, it is better to immediately purchase the entire range of materials agreed with the customer.
Licensing
To organize your own production of wooden houses, you need to get a registration, get a construction license. The initial investment in production will be approximately $100,000. The money will be used to rent premises, purchase office equipment, pay staff, create a website, and advertise. According to experts, the emphasis should be on online advertising, since about 70% of customers come from the Web. Outdoor advertising gives a good return: streamers, billboards.Advertising and competition
An exhibition house-sample could also serve as a good advertisement. Every second customer expresses a desire to see the house. This is despite the fact that from five to twenty calls are received per day. The ideal advertisement is to build a wooden house and equip your company's office in it.
The most effective channel for promoting wood construction is the Internet. 9 out of 10 customers come from contextual advertising. Moreover, the geography of orders is quite extensive. These are Moscow, Volgograd, Sochi, Gelendzhik, in other words - million-plus cities, a sanatorium-resort zone and the Black Sea coast.
In general, according to entrepreneurs, there are more than enough customers. On the other hand, there are also many companies on the market, and their number is constantly growing. After all, the profitability of this business is within 30-40%. As for competition, this segment is characterized not so much by price competition as by competition for raw materials and personnel. If earlier it was difficult to find an order, now it is a forest. The way out for companies that do not have their own raw materials may be the opening of a representative office of the company in the "forest region".
Office and staff
As for the location of the office, there is no consensus here. Someone insists that the office should be in the city center so that everyone can easily get there. And there should be parking nearby. At the same time, their opponents believe that the customer will come anywhere if the prices and quality of services suit him.
The staff of the construction company consists of an office manager who answers calls, account managers (two or three people) who constantly maintain contact with the customer, an architect, as well as specialists from the sales and logistics department.
Own production
Another question that everyone decides in their own way is whether you need your own production? On the one hand, own production facilities can be seen as a competitive advantage. On the other hand, the initial costs will increase to $300-500 thousand.
Own production requires additional costs for the arrangement of a sawmill, carpentry workshops, a wood splicing workshop, a drying complex, etc. Moreover, you can load your own production with your orders by no more than 50%. The rest of the time it will either be idle, or it must be loaded by third-party orders. And these are additional problems that are beyond the power of a start-up company.
prospects
According to experts, the market of wooden houses has a great future. Despite the fact that brick housing construction will continue to occupy about 95% of the market, the popularity of wooden houses will grow. In the world, about 80% of the housing stock is made up of wooden buildings. The volume of the low-rise construction market in Russia is estimated at 5-6 billion dollars. The share of wooden housing construction reaches 27-30% ($2-3 billion).The plan of a wooden house and the area where it will be located are intertwined like fingers in a "castle". Before you start thinking about the project of your future home, you need to research your site well. This is not so relevant for construction in the so-called private sectors, where houses are placed literally on top of each other. But if you have chosen a picturesque piece of wildlife somewhere outside the city, you cannot do without a detailed analysis of the site. A good option is to go on a picnic, taking a camera, wooden pegs and a tape measure with you. Mark your site and look around. The view will probably be the main factor in the layout of the house, think about each room: what you want to see from the window. Will the living room window overlook the lake? Is it better to place the bedroom with a view of the forest or the field? Determine where is west and east. This is important if you want to wake up with the rays of the morning sun and enjoy the sunset on the veranda in the evening. And do not forget about the guests, they are unlikely to like the view of the neighbor's garage from their bedroom window.
Your imagination is an indispensable tool in planning future wooden house but don't forget pencil and paper. You don't have to be an artist to sketch on paper how the rooms will be laid out. After that, imagine that you are walking around the house. Is the kitchen and dining area close enough? Is the laundry area convenient? Is the bedroom removed from possible sources of noise? Think about the flow of traffic in the house. Each wooden house has its own trajectories of movement. A narrow hallway leading to the bedroom, or your plan calls for circling, making the living space more interesting.
Design a wooden house according to your activities and leisure activities. If you're back from a ski run, is there a place to sit down and take off your skis safely? Or where will the shower be located to wash off the sand when you return from the beach?
Some architects advise you to use one of the computer programs (for example, arhicad), with which you can create a model of the house according to your plan and walk through the rooms.
When designing a wooden house, do not forget about the future. If you dream of adding to the family, you will need more space. The basement and attic can be organized in such a way that, if necessary, in the future it is easy to convert them into rooms. Take care of the required angle of the roof over the unfinished attic, bring water and sewer to the basement - this will add to the cost building a house, but it will save more money when you convert the premises prepared in this way into rooms (this will be cheaper than an extension).
And be mindful of the opportunity to sell: don't be overly eccentric. You might love taking a hot bath in your living room by the fireplace, but would potential buyers like it?
For those who own their own personal plot, there is always the opportunity to draw up a plan for building a private house from a bar, and then bring it to fruition.
The advantage is its relative cheapness and speed, as well as the fact that the material itself is not only an environmentally friendly element, but the tree has antiseptic and healing properties. Now we have the opportunity to talk about the planning and construction of such buildings, as well as watch the video in this article on the same topic.
House layout and necessary materials
So, any owner of a personal plot, before starting construction, will ask a specialist or draw up a plan of a wooden house from a bar on his own. Based on the received drawings, materials are prepared. The advantage of such construction is the specialization itself, because the timber is immediately prepared for a specific project in terms of quantity and size.
layout
House plan 7.5×9m
- Such a plan for building houses from a bar, as you see in the upper drawing, can be easily converted into an area of 6 by 9, 9 by 9 or 10 by 10m without much effort, while the size of the rooms will simply change. Such a layout is suitable not only for giving, but also for permanent residence - there are enough rooms in the room that can be converted, or rather, used, at your discretion, depending on the need.
- And above is another one, only already with furniture arranged in advance, that is, the dimensions of the rooms are calculated for standard furniture. In fact, this plan can be changed - it all depends on our needs. This drawing can be successfully used as a plan for a one-story house made of timber, because there are quite enough rooms to live here.
Attention! The foundation plan must exactly match the drawings of the first floor of the house. On a solid foundation, not only load-bearing walls, but also partitions should be erected, then the entire frame of the building will be as one.
- So, before starting construction, it is necessary to carry out the physical layout of the site, since it is customary for us to do this during or even after the completion of construction, which, however, is almost the same thing. For some reason, the opinion dominates that the essence of planning is to level the ground and mark the site with pegs without reference to the terrain. But the convenience and terms of operation depend on the latter.
- First of all, you need to pay attention to the place where you are going to locate the building, and if the site is free from any buildings, it will be much better if you move at least 5m deep into the yard from the fence on the side of the road. It is also important to consider the location of the rooms relative to the cardinal points. Noise load from the street - it is better to place the kitchen on the cool side, and for the bedroom, in addition, you need a quieter place. The abundance of sunlight is best to expose the children's and playrooms, as well as the living room.
- Not the last role is played by the wind load or the side from which the wind most often blows in a given area, because, despite the cardinal directions, this area may turn out to be the coldest. Therefore, such zones are best protected by construction, the so-called cold buildings such as a veranda, a garage, and so on. This will allow you to significantly save on heating the entire house during the cold season.
- Another important aspect of planning can be called linking the project to a neighboring site, and it will be very good if it is already built up or at least marked out for construction. Indeed, in addition to the house, there are also plans for bathhouses made of timber, various outbuildings and toilets, and it is unlikely that you or your neighbors will want to have windows overlooking a nearby steam room, where smoke comes from a chimney or a toilet.
Advice. Building a house on the highest point of your site will save you money on pouring the foundation, since such a foundation is less affected by groundwater, therefore, the pit can be made smaller.
Briefly about foundations
- Primarily, strip foundations can be divided into two types - these are recessed and shallow structures, which can already be monolithic and prefabricated. Naturally, they differ in depth, but the difference is not in the exact distance from the ground surface, but in the depth of the tape relative to the freezing point.
- So, for unstable soils (heaving, sandy, technogenic, marshy) use buried foundation where the base of the tape is below the local freezing point to avoid warping. As for shallow foundations, their depth ranges from 40 to 60 cm, depending on the mass of the parent structure and the density of the soil. Such plans for houses made of timber, with a strip foundation, are the most convenient, since it becomes possible to equip a basement, basement or cellar.
- It is possible that the plan for building a house from a bar is designed for pile foundation, although more often screw piles are calculated for lighter structures (baths, summer kitchens). Such devices are good for all soils, with the exception of rock formations (meaning only screw piles). The main advantage of this design is the speed of installation, because if you wish, you can mount the base for a large wooden house in one day.
- You can, of course, equip stuffed piles with your own hands, but such a process is more time-consuming, although the price of the material in this case will be much lower. To do this, preliminary drilling is carried out, and concrete is poured into the casing, the cavity of which is pre-reinforced. In fact, this turns out to be a bored foundation, but it will take a lot of time to install such a foundation, because the mortar must still harden.
- Very similar to pile also columnar foundation, only here reinforced concrete slabs serve as supports. This option is quite reliable, but it is more time consuming due to the increase in the volume of earthworks. But if you still decide to equip such a structure, then it is best to purchase reinforced concrete slabs from the factory, and not do it yourself - this is much more reliable and faster.
Construction Materials
- It should be noted right away that profiled timber can be of two types - solid and glued, and each of them has both advantages and disadvantages of the structure. The main advantage of any option over a log is that it does not need to be caulked during installation, and it immediately fits on a dry key. The milling of the profile is carried out in such a way that when laid on a dowel, drying occurs evenly from the outside and from the inside, moreover, the installation of walls with such material is much faster.
- Profile milling is carried out very precisely, therefore, due to the tight fit, precipitation does not linger on the surface, which protects the material from severe cracking. However, solid lumber is still susceptible to cracking, like any other wood, so special attention should be paid to its processing.
- But the main disadvantage of a profiled solid timber can, perhaps, be called the fact that after the construction of the box, before finishing, a technological pause is taken without fail. This is extremely important for the shrinkage of profiles, since they dry out due to their structure, that is, microdeformation occurs, which does not allow for high-quality wall cladding. Therefore, with the natural moisture content of the material, the instruction provides for its settling up to 10-12 months for shrinkage, which means it is ready for front finishing.
- Such shortcomings, which are listed above, do not have a glued profile, moreover, this applies not only to timber, but also to logs. Such material has all the advantages of natural wood, but at the same time it practically does not crack and the structure assembled from it does not have moisture shrinkage. At the moment, production is gaining momentum in Russia, and the popularity of such construction is growing every day.
- Be sure to mention such material as Woodlock thermal beam - PolarSIP panel, which is a profiled beam with polyurethane foam for thermal insulation inside, which allows you to almost halve the consumption of wood for the construction of an object. The material is a rigid frame of two wooden lamellas with wooden transverse inserts, which are evenly spaced along the entire length. Inside this structure is polyurethane foam, which is just the main thermal barrier, and all the material belongs to low-combustible elements.
- All the materials that we have reviewed above are environmentally friendly, and are suitable for a wide variety of timber house plans. It's just that at the same time, the appearance of the erected walls will change somewhat, as well as the timing of the final completion of construction and commissioning of the house.
Conclusion
In fact, plans for building houses from a bar are not much different from the same drawings for buildings that are built from foam blocks, since both materials are lightweight and do not need a massive foundation. But, nevertheless, a house project is always drawn up taking into account the material, its properties, as well as positive and negative qualities.

When Customers come to us with bright, modern ideas for a future home, we light up doubly! After all, working on a new stylish project is always interesting and a challenge, how to implement all the bold ideas from a constructive point of view, what materials to use? Vladimir bought a plot with picturesque views of the Oka River! Such a view could not be ignored, so a dizzying terrace (51.1m2) and a large balcony, focused on beauty, became an indispensable attribute of the future home! Vladimir wanted to relax in nature in a wooden house, and it was necessary to build a house in a short time, and the frame construction technology became an ideal solution for such tasks! If we are different, then in everything! The house was made even more spectacular by the vertical finish with an imitation of durable larch timber, painted in natural shades with an accentuated wood texture. Complement the modern look of the house - windows with lamination! It turned out to be an excellent country house, with zest and at the same time incredibly functional.
It all started with an individual project found by the Customer's family on a European site. It was with him that she came to our office for the first time. We made preliminary calculations for the project, conducted a tour of the existing construction site, shook hands and the work began to boil! The architect improved and adapted the project to the site and the Customer's family; the foreman "planted" the house on the site. Based on the fact of geological surveys, it was decided to put the house on bored piles. The frame has grown in a few weeks, then the roof, insulation, exterior finish! During the winter, a house grew on the site. The customer invited a third-party technical supervisor who monitored the process regardless of our multi-stage control. The color scheme for painting the imitation of timber was chosen by our manager and here we have a bright and cozy dream country house of the Pushkov family!
Based on many years of experience in the design and construction of low-rise individual residential buildings, it is possible to formulate the basic principles for planning an optimal house.
The house begins with a porch. Of course, you can opt for an ordinary door and do nothing special in your cottage. But almost any layout of the house implies that the entrance will be decorated in some special way. Therefore, the porch is rather a necessity. Of course, that over it you need to make a canopy. Then you can, for example, on a rainy summer day, put an armchair there and breathe fresh air without risking getting wet and getting sick. Moreover, a convenient driveway should lead to the porch, and so that the car can stand sideways, with the door to the entrance. Then even in the most severe weather you will have the opportunity to get into your personal transport directly from home.
The entrance group consists of a vestibule and a hallway with a dressing room. Immediately outside the door begins what is usually called the hallway in village houses. In a more modern language, this room can be designated as a transitional compartment (tambour). It was created so that the door from the street does not open directly into the house, so as not to let in cold in winter and heat in summer. This is a kind of buffer. A good layout of the house necessarily implies its presence. Among other things, this room can be given some functionality, for example, by making it a place to store sports equipment such as sleds, skis or bicycles. The main thing is not to go too far and prevent “littering”. Following the vestibule is the hallway. Everything is standard here - hangers, cabinets, mirrors.
The number of residential levels is two: the first floor and the second attic (maybe the basement).
Staircase Most often, from the hallway there is a staircase to the upper floors of the house, where the living rooms of family members and rooms that are similar in function are located.
The cottage involves a rational layout and the allocation of personal and family areas. According to sanitary standards, optimally comfortable conditions are provided if there is at least 30 square meters per person. m, but taking into account the psychological component, a person needs 40-50 square meters. meters.
Floor zoning of premises. The number of living rooms is determined by the formula: n + 1, where n is the number of residents, and 1 is a common room.
The first floor is the daytime area for the family. There is a maximum of functional premises here. It is necessary to provide places for receiving guests (living room), a spacious kitchen and an adjoining dining room, a guest room (guest bedroom), possibly a winter garden, as well as a comfortable bathroom. The entrance to the living room and dining room is best done directly from the hallway. But the kitchen is separated from the hallway so that the whole house is not saturated with smells through it. If there is space, it is better to separate the rooms in which you cook and in which you eat. In principle, the dining room, with limited space, combines very well with the living room. Then you can put both the piano and the TV there. Although, if there is such an opportunity, it is better to separate them in space too. Minimum walk-through areas and corridors.
The second floor is a zone of rest and silence, where several bedrooms, one more bathroom, balconies and exits to the terrace are arranged. There should be more bedrooms than family members. Children tend to grow up and no longer want to share a room with a brother or sister, as in childhood. Yes, and you can receive guests with great pleasure, if they have a place to sleep.
Auxiliary premises What other premises do we have? Offices and a library, which are not uncommon in large houses. These rooms require rest in order to be able to concentrate. Therefore, you can place them on the first floor only if you are sure of absolute peace. If not, then the study can be made adjacent to your bedroom, so that you can move from one room to another at any time, and the library can be placed on the second floor, as it were, in the middle, between the rooms of parents and children, or between family rooms and guest bedrooms. The library will then be a kind of dividing line where two worlds will meet. If you want to make a gym in your country house, then it is just better to determine it on the first floor according to the layout. Where you can make some noise without fear of disturbing anyone. If your house is large enough and the layout allows you to make something like a balcony or terrace on the second floor, then it will be just wonderful. Then in the morning you can go out into the air, without leaving the room, to say hello to the world. On such a balcony you can sit, read, do gymnastics, but you never know what!
The basement floor can also be used - as an economic zone (workshop, laundry) or entertainment (billiard room, sauna, etc.). The boiler room is located separately from the house or in the basement, and if it is not, then on the ground floor, and has its own exit to the site. The garage space should be separated from the living quarters as much as possible. From the garage there should be an exit to the site and an entrance to the boiler room or hallway of the house.
