Attic construction – a modern way to solve the problem of increasing the usable area of a building

Unlike Russia, in particular, European countries very actively use LSTC technologies in the construction of residential houses, cottages, and attics. In fact, largely thanks to these technologies, Europe and the USA effectively solve the problem of shortage of affordable quality housing. As for the construction of attics directly, this service seems quite promising. Especially in large Russian cities, where there is a serious problem of high prices for land plots within the city limits. When it is necessary to expand the area of a building, the most reasonable solution in this case is the construction of an attic (or attic floors). This allows both really significantly increasing the usable area of the structure and improving its appearance without resorting to a major reconstruction.

It should be noted that the low weight of metal structures and structural elements (enclosing structures, floors, etc.) allows construction without the use of heavy special equipment, and also allows all stages of work to be carried out by a small team (no more than four people) of qualified builders.

The features of the construction technology of metal frame buildings make it possible to avoid the need to install a deep foundation, which significantly reduces the cost and at the same time speeds up the entire construction process. In addition, an important feature of working with LSTC technology is the fact that all stages of work are optimized in such a way as to avoid the need to vacate existing premises from residents. The use of high-tech modern building materials (galvanized steel cold-rolled profiles, basalt insulation, etc.), characterized by low weight and dimensions, allows achieving real savings of up to fifty percent compared to the costs incurred when transporting traditional materials.
