The issue that people who want to build a prefabricated house are frequently curious about is the basic concrete process. First of all, you must have a plot of land to build a prefabricated house. You must have completed all the permits and documents required. The next step after this process is to decide on the model of your prefabricated house and to agree with a manufacturer prefabricated company. In order for the prefabricated house to be strong and durable, the ground concrete process is required. The ground concrete process must be laid in accordance with the concrete plan given by the company you have agreed with by the buyer.
Prefabricated houses made with materials produced in a factory environment are not enough. Ground concrete is healthier for the prefabricated structure to be used on the land for a long time. As an alternative to ground concrete, you can also prefabricate on a platform, but a prefabricated house with a fixed ground will give you more efficiency.
The prefabricated house foundation is the same as the normal reinforced concrete foundation. As standard, the ground process should be prepared in accordance with the structure and dimensions of the prefabricated house. Apart this, the foundation concrete plan is prepared by the company according to the size requested by the customer. Before the concrete casting, the ground survey of the land should be made and a concrete should be applied accordingly. All necessary conditions must be met for a flat and durable floor.
- The ground to be concreted is leveled or compacted,
- Formwork is nailed according to the places where the load-bearing columns of the building are located,
- Beams are connected,
- Column gaps are filled with filling materials such as stone etc,
- (A membrane can be applied to the ground for extra basic insulation).
- 10 or 12-gauge rebar is thrown on top of the backfill.
- Concrete is poured on level.
- There is a certain drying process after the concrete is poured. This process varies depending on the quality and structure of the concrete. (Concrete dries and sets in an average of 2 weeks).
- EPS application is also made after the concrete for extra thermal insulation.
- For the last arrangement, a 3-5 cm thick screed is applied. Standard screed is applied inside the house area and oil screed (herringbone) is applied outside the house area.
Our prefabricated house prices that you have examined on our website do not include the ground concrete process. However, for your prefabricated house that you have decided and contracted, our company gives you the basic concrete plan, which includes the waste and clean water drains, the place where the concrete will be poured and the overflow shares of the area where the house will sit.
Below is an image of the foundation concrete plan and concrete beams detail. The ground concrete process should be done with the basic concrete plan drawn according to the dimensions of your prefabricated house.
