Services

Timberelement offers services from designing your idea to an “keys in hands” solution. It is also possible to order the following services in stages. We will give an overview of all the services offered.

Projecting

Projecting

TimberElement OÜ’s design team includes experienced engineers who offer complete design solutions. We prepare product drawings, heating systems, ventilation, cooling, water and sewage projects for modular houses.

In addition, special projects can also be ordered from us:

  • Building permit
  • Geobase
  • Electrical project
  • Sketch drawings

The constructive design of the elements begins with the selection of a suitable house by the customer. First, coordination drawings are drawn up, during which the engineer puts the architect’s or customer’s idea into the modular house system and makes the necessary strength calculations. To get started, the sketch drawings received from the customer (which are in the required scale), are sufficient. The dimensions of the house, heights and all other important nodes that also affect the visual side of the house are established with the coordination drawings.

During the stage of coordination drawings, the client checks the compliance of the data presented in the project documentation with the applicable standards. Involving the customer in the design process is an important measure to avoid mistakes during the subsequent design, production and installation.

The installation drawings contain all the drawings necessary for the installation of the buildings. The installation drawings show the sequence and location of the assembly of the elements and their proper attachment to the foundation.

TimberElement OÜ has developed strong quality requirements for both production and installation, which ensure error-free completion and erection of the prefab house on site.
 
The design of the heating and ventilation part is necessary to ensure proper indoor climate in the building. Heating and ventilation are always treated hand in hand as they are integral special parts throughout the building. The purpose of heating and ventilation systems is to create a sense of comfort and well-being for the customer in the building. Fresh air and optimal temperature are the most determining factors of the living environment, the inadequacy of which can harm human health and at the same time the building structures.
 
Heating design begins with finding out the customer’s wishes and evaluating the building’s usage needs. During the design process, the type of heating to be used is determined: either a ground heating system, an air-water heating system, or a heating system based on some other heating source. The need and suitability of underfloor or radiator heating in the building is also determined.

In the course of designing the ventilation, the possibilities of how to ensure the high-quality indoor climate needed in the building are assessed. During the ventilation project, it is determined whether the building will have a ventilation solution with or without heat recovery.

The design of water supply and sewage helps to plan a functioning water and sewage system in the building, which ensures maximum convenient water and sewage supply for the customer. These systems can also be called one of the most important functions served by the building, errors and absences of which are noticed immediately.

Foundation

Slab foundation

One of the main activities of Timberelement Paigalduse OÜ is the construction of slab foundations. In the construction of our foundations, we use high-quality Benders L-block technology. L-blocks can be obtained in the range of 300-600mm as needed.  On these blocks, the plinth part is already covered with cement board, which can also remain unfinished, while the customer wants to be painted or plastered.

Sewer pipes are transported in compacted soil under a layer of insulation.

We use 400mm Benders blocks as standard. The block is placed on perfectly leveled and compacted soil, and in the standard, insulation comes in three layers (3x100mm EPS 100).

Inside the insulation layer, domestic water pipelines are transported.

In the foundation we use 8mm reinforcingperches and 8mm strict. Piping for underfloor heating is installed on them.

To achieve additional strength, we use fiber concrete, which is sanded smooth after leveling with “helicopters”. 

In order to improve the quality and speed of installation of the elements, we have introduced a masonry system. We attach impregnated wood mrented foundation kluge, on which we will later install the wall elements produced in our factory. Between the foundation and the bar we install a special strip of insulation.
