Engineering networks in log houses. Communications in a wooden house Design of engineering systems in wooden houses

In addition to construction, the Kalita company is engaged in the engineering arrangement of country houses.

The Kalita company carries out complex design and installation of engineering systems of any complexity. Our reliable partners, with whom we have been cooperating for ten years, allow us to implement high-quality projects within a predetermined time frame. We are accustomed to working in one team, we are well aware of the sequence of work in each of the areas, interacting with each other at all stages of construction. We believe that the basis of a successful installation campaign is a professional approach at the stage of design work.

What engineering networks may be present in a wooden house

Engineering networks are one of the most important stages in the construction of a country house. The quality and ease of use of your future home largely depend on them. Today there is a huge variety of materials for every taste and budget. To understand the issue, it is necessary to understand the components in more detail.


HVAC: heating, water supply, sewerage, underfloor heating and boiler room.
Integral systems in a residential building, possibly with the exception of underfloor heating. A variety of modern heating and cleaning systems, generators can solve any difficulties faced by the owners of future homes.


EOM - power electrical equipment and electric lighting.
This section includes lighting devices, socket groups, switches, power engineering equipment. It is also possible to automate engineering networks, install an intelligent "smart home" system and visual interactive control. The EOM section also includes on-site networks: architectural and landscape lighting, backup power.

SS - low current networks.
This section is very diverse and basically contains modern systems of control, security, communication and entertainment. The main groups of networks: fire and security alarms, video surveillance, intercom, TV, Wi-Fi, Internet, multi-room and others.


V&K - ventilation, air conditioning and humidification.
In fact, ventilation in a wooden house is everyone's choice, as is air conditioning. Ventilation is always present in the house in the form of necessary things (hoods from the control room, dressing rooms, kitchen), or it can be a supply and exhaust. In this case, a system of channels for inflow and intake of air from the premises is bred in the ceilings; the channels, in turn, are connected to the ventilation unit, through which the required air exchange rate is maintained.

As for the installation of automatic humidification in a wooden house, this is an extremely useful thing. Stable indoor humidity has a beneficial effect on the quality and durability of all wooden structures. It is convenient to carry out air conditioning in a wooden house in the form of a VRV system, a distinctive feature of which is the ability to service several executive units (air conditioners) using one outdoor module. In other words, there are many air conditioners inside the house, and there is only one outdoor unit - stationary, and can be located at some distance from the building.


Pool equipment.
The presence of a pool in a wooden house is not uncommon today. In order to choose the right size and type of equipment, the first thing to do is to decide on the purpose and frequency of use: is the pool for swimming or for relaxation, or maybe for refreshing procedures after the sauna? Do you need countercurrent or hydromassage? How often will you use the pool? All calculations and selection of equipment occur at the design stage. Installation of pool systems is carried out sequentially, in parallel with the finishing work.



To start the installation of engineering systems, several conditions must be met: a constant temperature above +10 degrees indoors, the presence of basic supporting structures to which each of the systems is tied in the literal and figurative sense, and, most importantly, the project. A quality project is 50% success. The installation of systems always takes place in stages and is divided into the installation of routes and terminal devices.

The cost of engineering systems for a wooden house

The total costs of engineering networks are directly dependent on two factors: the complexity of the systems, as well as the price category of the materials used and the end devices used in the installation. For example:

  • A heating radiator can cost 60€ or 400€ (depending on the type, material and manufacturer);
  • A pipe for heating distribution can cost 2€/m.p., or maybe 4€/m.p.;
  • The equipment of a pool of the same area can cost 1,000,000 rubles, or maybe 6,000,000 rubles.

And so in everything. But for convenience, you can rely on the following figures: for a simple wooden house, using middle-class materials, the cost of engineering systems will be from 160 € / m2 of living space (including installation work). This cost will include the necessary networks, such as water supply, sewerage, heating, a boiler room, underfloor heating in the necessary premises, lighting routes, socket groups, switches.

Country wooden housing construction is constantly developing, and houses are becoming more and more comfortable. Gone are the rustic log huts with outdoor amenities and electricity as the only boon of civilization. Now wooden houses and baths are being built with all utilities: heating, water supply, sewerage, ventilation. But we must remember that the conduct of communications in a wooden house and a bath has its own characteristics and requires closer attention. Specialists of the company "Wooden Houses and Baths" know how to install engineering communications that will improve the quality of life and be 100% safe.
Already starting from the design of the house, it is necessary to think about the schemes for supplying and placing life support facilities. It is best when engineering communications in wooden houses and baths are included in the project of a house or bath. When arranging the foundation, it is necessary to take into account the entry points of the water pipes and the exit of the sewer pipe, so that later you do not waste time and effort punching channels in the foundation for them. Also, already in the process of construction, it is necessary to leave holes, channels, perform additional work for future internal pipelines and other highways. Thus, later it will not be necessary to complete or rebuild something, violate the integrity of what has been done, spend extra effort and money.
Engineering work is carried out only after the complete shrinkage of the house or bath, in order to avoid possible damage to communications due to ongoing shrinkage. Pipelines are laid hidden before the walls are finished or on top of already finished walls. Concealed wiring has the disadvantage that in the event of an accident or repair work, it will be necessary to dismantle the trim to access the required section of the pipeline.

Heating and boiler room in a wooden house and sauna

Most often, the heating of a wooden, detached house is carried out from an individual boiler. Regardless of the type of fuel with which the boiler is heated, heating and a boiler room in a wooden house and a bathhouse represent an increased fire hazard. The boiler must be installed on a solid foundation, in a room with supply and exhaust ventilation. Walls closer than 1.0 meters from the boiler are lined with heat-resistant non-combustible material.
Particular attention is paid to the passage of chimneys through the ceiling and roof structures. Today, in order not to violate the integrity of floors and roofs, more and more often chimney systems are installed on the outer street side of the walls and safe double-circuit chimneys are used. Manufacturers produce not only the pipes themselves, but also the necessary fittings and various fasteners, the use of which makes the heating system completely safe. Radiators in wooden houses are installed under the windows, but besides this, water-heated floors are often installed simultaneously with radiators in houses. To conduct heating pipes to heating elements, a wiring diagram must be developed, because heating is a complex engineering system.

Water supply of wooden houses and baths

So that the installation of a water supply system in a wooden house and a bathhouse is not complicated by unforeseen work, already in the process of building walls, it is necessary to develop a scheme for the internal wiring of pipes from the input to the points where the water will be used. According to the scheme, holes are made in the walls for pipes to pass through them, strobes are cut through. Water pipes are laid after the complete shrinkage of the log house or bathhouse, since with continued shrinkage, the pipes installed perpendicular to the log crowns will be deformed.
Water supply of wooden houses and baths from a well or well is carried out by laying pipes at a depth of more than 1.2 meters, in a special technical room. An automatic pumping station is installed in the premises, which creates a constant pressure in the pipes and water purification systems, from which water is delivered through pipes to places of consumption. The input from the centralized water supply is done directly into the pipes, divorced around the house.

Electrical wiring in wooden houses and baths

Electrical wiring in wooden houses and baths is carried out according to wiring diagrams, taking into account fire safety. In the case of hidden wiring, the wires are laid along the walls in a metal hose, junction boxes, metering devices and control panels must be installed so that they have free access after finishing work is completed. It is safer and more affordable to conduct wires from above, along already finished walls in cable channels, which today can be matched to match any finish. Considering the high humidity in the bath, the lighting of the shower room and especially the steam room is allowed only with special lamps with sealed fittings.

Sewerage in wooden houses and baths

The sewerage device in a wooden house or bathhouse practically does not differ from the same work in any other case. It is desirable, already in the process of building the foundation, to lay a large-diameter pipe leading to the septic tank into it, and the rest of the wiring of sewer pipes can be carried out at any time in the basement of the house. On the premises of the bathhouse, sewer pipes are diluted to the installation of wooden floors or to concreting the base for tiled floors. Sewer pipes from the second floor to the basement, if this is laid down in the project of the house, are laid through the ceilings and along the walls until finishing, so that during finishing work, they could be decorated.

Ventilation in wooden houses and baths

Wooden houses and baths differ from other buildings in that their walls "breathe" creating natural air circulation, so it is dry and healthy in them. The device of a forced ventilation system is necessary only in the boiler room, in the kitchen, in the steam room and in the sanitary facilities. To maintain a normal microclimate in other rooms, simple ventilation is often sufficient.
The installation of turnkey engineering communications by the Wooden Houses and Baths company improves the quality of life and contributes to the preservation of all structures that make up a house or a bathhouse.

The comfort of living in a private house directly depends on how all engineering systems and communications work - electricity and water supply, heating system and sewerage. Moreover, the efficiency, durability and trouble-free operation of the "engineer" directly depends on its competent design and high-quality installation.

In this article, we will answer the following questions:

  • Engineering in a private house: where does planning begin.
  • What are the nuances of sewerage, plumbing and electrical input that you need to pay attention to first of all.
  • How the design of the house affects the features of the laying of engineering.

Engineering communications planning

Construction practice shows that engineering systems are one of the most expensive components in a country house. Depending on the cost of the selected equipment, the method of its installation, as well as the options for laying communications, the price of an “engineer” can be 25-40% of the total estimate for building a house. Therefore, any mistake made at the stage of selecting or laying engineering systems will lead in the future to the need for alterations and costly repairs performed by experienced specialists.

We remember the main rule: the selection and installation of engineering systems of a country house is preceded by the design stage, which begins with competent planning.

Following this principle will help you avoid mistakes. If a monolithic slab is chosen as a foundation, or in the future it is planned to make floors on the ground on the basis of a strip foundation, then the place for entering communications into the house (water, sewerage) must be designed in advance. Otherwise, after the construction of the box at home, you will have to puzzle over where and how to introduce engineering networks, up to altering / drilling the foundation or gouging technical holes in the screed with a perforator.

In the absence of sufficient funds, it is possible to install engineering systems gradually, stretching this process for a long time. But mortgages for water and sewer pipes, electrics (if underground input is planned) channels, holes in the foundation, ceilings and walls provided in advance. This will avoid significant financial and labor costs during further work on the installation of the "engineer".

We decided that our design document is the basis for the construction of engineering communications. Now let's figure out how to properly plan everything. To do this, you should break your actions into a series of successive steps, moving from general to specific. In order not to forget anything, we take a sheet of paper and write down what we need to do, namely:

  • Determine where on the site the house will be built, outbuildings, a garage, as well as a well / well and a septic tank, in order to determine the length of the supply lines in relation to existing or planned engineering in the building;
  • Measure the distance from the pole from which electricity is supplied to the cottage. If the distance exceeds 25 m, then another intermediate pole will be required, or, alternatively, an underground entry of the electrical cable into the house can be carried out;

  • Depending on the area of ​​the house, heat losses, heating method, water points, the number of residents and their preferences, we estimate the volume of water and energy consumption;
  • We calculate the expected load from all electrical consumers, because the choice of electrical wires and protective devices depends on these data.
  • We determine the place in the house where the installation of equipment should be carried out;
  • We calculate how to lay the highways (open or closed in strobes), how they will be brought into the premises. How to carry out penetration through walls and ceilings;
  • If the installation is carried out on our own, we select materials and equipment for the installation of engineering systems. Or, having decided on our preferences, we order a project in a specialized organization.

These are only general, basic data, on the basis of which it is possible to make a pre-design sketch of engineering networks. Every little thing matters. If you lose sight of something, then later, having decided to build further, make landscape design or build an outbuilding, it turns out that an electric cable, a water supply system or a septic tank with a filtration field are buried in this place.

KKI FORUMHOUSE User

We need an integrated approach. Those. , including its architectural and constructive component, must be inextricably linked with engineering networks. I would not want the beautiful retaining wall designed by the landscape designer to be “spoiled” by the heating pipes or the bath’s underground power supply cable.

Based on this, starting planning and further designing engineering networks, we immediately think about what and where it is planned to do. Those. "engineering" is a compromise between functionality, reliability of work, aesthetics of laid communications and reasonable sufficiency without excessive complication of the system.

The nuances of engineering communications

The starting point for engineering network design is prioritization. Only having dealt with one task, we move on to the next, without trying to cover everything at once.

The first thing on which the normal functioning of a country house is based is electricity and water. Those. a reliable source of water and electricity is needed, and for their input and distribution to consumers - engineering communications. Moreover, electricity and water will be required even at the stage of construction of the cottage.

Although it is possible to build a country house using a gas generator and imported water, this greatly complicates all construction work.

If electricity is supplied centrally, from the power company, then a reliable source of water in most cases is the concern of the homeowner.

Water can be obtained from a well or from a well. Moreover, the well, depending on the depth of the aquifers and the structure of the soil, can be drilled “on the sand”, or a full-fledged, but also the most expensive artesian one is equipped, or a shallow budget “Abyssinian” is hammered right in the house / box.

Therefore, immediately, at the initial, planning stage of construction, we figure out where to get water from, how it will be brought into the house where the pumping equipment will be located. Inside the house, in a technical room or boiler room. Or a caisson with water intake equipment is arranged right above the well, and from it the water supply is brought into the house.

Based on this information, as well as determining where to place the house on the site, we can calculate the distance of the route from the water intake point to the point of entry of the pipeline into the house. Depending on the region of residence and the depth of soil freezing (in Moscow and the region, about 1.5 m), we estimate at what depth to mount the pipe so that it does not freeze in winter.

If the water supply is laid above the freezing depth of the soil, then it is necessary to provide for the installation of a heating cable or insulation. A heat insulator for pipes with a “fur coat” made of foamed polyethylene or polystyrene foam “shell”.

It is important to define the entry point in advance. If the pipeline passes under slab foundation and will come out through its horizontal plane, it is necessary to provide (even at the foundation design stage) a mortgage pipe. We act similarly with a basement or a buried strip foundation, with the only difference being that the pipeline runs horizontally through the foundation wall.

Girfalko FORUMHOUSE User

At the stage of foundation construction, all basic communications are laid. Remember about the mortgages that we may need in the future when building other buildings.

Those. it is necessary to reserve in advance all the places for the input of communications and determine the depth of their occurrence.

Mihalch FORUMHOUSE User

It is better to lay the water pipeline below the freezing depth, by 1.7 m. the pump will pump water.

Traditionally, the bottleneck for entering home plumbing is penetration through the foundation. This place must be sealed, and it must be done in such a way that the pipeline does not crush with a possible movement / settlement of the foundation.

As a sleeve, a metal pipe can be used, the inner diameter of which is 2 times larger than the outer diameter of the water or sewer pipe. The sleeve with the pipe installed on both sides is sealed with a moisture-resistant, non-rotten material that compensates for the possible movement of the structure. Kabolka - resin rope made of flax, jute or hemp.

The node of such penetration clearly demonstrates the following figure.

When laying a sewer pipe, several factors are taken into account. This is the depth of soil freezing, the type of septic tank or local treatment plant, the magnitude of the slope on the site, the distance from the septic tank to the house.

The following opinion about the freezing of a sewer pipe is interesting:

Andrew 203 FORUMHOUSE User

If there is always water in the water pipe that can freeze, then in the sewer pipe, water is present only during flushing, and it will not freeze, because. goes into the septic tank, in which the process of processing effluents with the release of heat is underway.

Users of our portal are not advised to combine the input of an electrical cable into a house (if electricity is planned to be introduced underground) with water and sewer pipes. To enter the electrical cable, we mount a separate embedded pipe, which goes into the room where the electrical panel is mounted.

When designing electrical communications, you can use the algorithm from the portal member with the nickname IvanVA. We take a plan of the premises and mark on it where and how many sockets, switches, lamps, etc. are supposed to be. Mark points with virtual furniture arrangement. Otherwise, it may later turn out that the mounted socket will close the sofa or closet.

We also count the number of other electrical consumers. These are boilers, pumps, street lighting for a bath or sauna, all light bulbs, etc. After that, we draw a block diagram of the electrics and calculate the total power consumption of all equipment. Based on this calculation, it will be possible to select the types and sections of cables and calculate the complete set of electrical panels. After that, we choose places for placing electrical panels, junction boxes and cable routes. We mark them on the plan. Next, select the equipment and calculate the length of the cables. After that, we get everything you need and do the installation.

A similar approach - careful planning, must be applied when calculating the remaining engineering networks.

Summarizing

Ideally, when designing engineering systems, you need to be able to look at them both through the eyes of a designer and an installer, taking into account the material from which the house is being built - wood, aerated concrete, brick, frame construction, etc. Since the properties of the material and the design of the house directly affect the methods and laboriousness of laying engineering communications.

The design of the house and foundation also affects the methods of installation of engineering communications. If there is an underground, then sewer pipes and water supply can be carried out in it.

During the construction of a shallow foundation (MZLF), water and sewer pipes are laid under the sole of the tape, provided that the soil is not subsiding. Further, the pipeline is brought inside the perimeter of the foundation, rises vertically and passes through the ceiling. When driving the floor on the ground, in order to maintain the continuity of the vapor and waterproofing layer, we start it on the pipe, to the thickness of the screed.

All of the above is just an introductory part related to the laying and installation of engineering systems for a country house or country house. You can find out more by using the following information.

And in these videos, you'll learn















The possibilities of technological progress have saved a person from having to make a painful choice between an organized existence in a metropolis and a free life in nature. Today, you can create comfortable conditions anywhere, and country houses are equipped no worse (and often better) than urban housing.

Engineering communications of a country house include electricity, cold and hot water supply, heating and sewerage. Even if the house is located far from centralized networks, there is nothing fundamentally impossible in organizing a well-thought-out engineering infrastructure.

A modern house is unthinkable without well-functioning engineering networks Source aquakomfort-spb.ru

Overview of engineering systems

Often, the owners of a suburban area do not have the ability to connect to the main heating main and water supply. Then they face the need to organize their own, home life support systems. In a modern country cottage, all the main engineering systems are laid; if their design and installation is carried out without errors, the owners will not have problems during operation.

Water supply

Centralized water supply systems reliably and constantly provide a country house with clean water. The vast majority of private buildings are located far from such a convenient source of water. If the main systems are not available, the construction company will develop an autonomous water supply system. A country cottage can be provided with clean drinking water in two ways:

    Individual well. A simple and fairly budgetary way of individual water supply. A well is dug if the depth of the aquifers is small (up to 30 m), a pump and a filter are installed.

Depth of the aquifer for different types of water supply Source zen.yandex.ru

    Individual well. The type of water well depends on the mode of use of housing. If they live in the house periodically, a sand well (up to 40 m) will be optimal. The depth of an artesian well reaches 200 m; water from such an aquifer is enough for a small village. To drill an artesian well, you need a license.

A well-thought-out arrangement of water inlet to the house, wet rooms (kitchens, bathrooms, saunas) and wastewater outlet will help to avoid problems during operation. You should also take care of the quality of pipes and fittings; saving on these things is unacceptable.

A couple of decades ago, summer residents, in order to swim or wash, heated water with buckets. Modern hot water supply is much more practical. Hot water flows from a faucet and is heated by a boiler, electric or gas.

Drilling a well for water

Sewerage

If it is not possible to connect to a centralized sewerage system, the civilized way out will be the arrangement of an autonomous system for the removal and treatment of wastewater. A practical way would be to install an individual septic tank, a facility capable of treating up to 20 m 3 of wastewater (depending on the model chosen) per day. The septic tank is placed taking into account the height of groundwater and sanitary requirements. The main technological options (we do not consider a cesspool as an obsolete option) are:

    Arrangement of a concrete septic tank- a system of 1-3 wells that purifies wastewater to an acceptable quality. The output is industrial water suitable for irrigation.

    Biological treatment station. An underground reservoir, most often made of plastic and consisting of 1-3 chambers. A more advanced and expensive option with a guarantee of long (up to 50 years) functioning and processing of a significant amount of wastewater. Purified water can also be used to irrigate the site.

Heating

No communications in a private house will be complete if it does not have its own heating. Autonomous heating is a popular engineering system, the features of which are:

    Heat source. Heating is implemented in various ways, but the main element is always the heating boiler. It can run on diesel, gas, electric or solid fuel energy. Installing gas or electric heating in a wooden house requires increased fire safety measures.

    Device. For heating in the premises, radiators are installed. Most often, aluminum, steel, cast iron and bimetallic radiators are used.

    Alternative. You can heat the house by supplementing (or completely replacing) heating radiators with warm floors with a liquid coolant; they are most often mounted in the hallway, in bathrooms or bathrooms. The system is preferred to be installed in the kitchen if there is ceramic tiles on the floor. Experts advise to arrange underfloor heating if the house is being built not on a strip foundation, but on reinforced concrete slabs. For the installation of underfloor heating, metal-plastic or polyethylene pipes are used; after testing the system, a cement-sand screed is arranged.

electrical work service

    Manufacturability. Modern turnkey heating communications (including wood-fired boilers) operate in automatic or semi-automatic mode, which greatly simplifies management and saves money.

    Variety of models. If the country cottage is small or used periodically, it is advisable to choose a compact wall-mounted model that is convenient to place in the kitchen. For a large house, a multi-circuit system is suitable, for which you will need to allocate a room equipped with ventilation and a chimney. It will be able not only to heat water for domestic needs and warm the air in the ventilation system, but also to heat floors and water in the pool. A powerful system is able to heat neighboring buildings.

Power supply

Construction companies carry out the whole range of works on the design and installation of internal electrical networks:

    Are calculated wiring parameters country house, taking into account the likely load (the number of electrical equipment and household appliances).

    going to force shield, wires are laid, the electric cable is divorced.

    Installed metering device electricity.

    Mounted switches, lamps, sockets.

    Mounted electric underfloor heating.

    At the request of the customer, for safety net, a generator(from the usual diesel to exotic wind). Installation possible solar panels.

On our website you can find contacts of construction companies that offer the service of design and installation of sewerage and water supply. You can directly communicate with representatives by visiting the exhibition of houses "Low-Rise Country".

Ventilation system

An engineering system that is increasingly becoming necessary for a country house. Air circulation in a private house is organized in several ways: there is a natural, forced (using fans) and a mixed type. According to the principle of operation, there are supply, exhaust and supply and exhaust systems.

In modern country cottages, a forced supply and exhaust ventilation system is often implemented. Supply and exhaust ventilation is compact, economical and able to filter, heat or cool the air.

Gas supply

Natural gas, one of the most budgetary and affordable types of fuel, is used in everyday life in several ways. With its help, they heat the house and cook food, and recently they have also been used for design - gas fireplaces have become fashionable. The easiest way to gasify a house is to connect it to the central gas pipeline. An alternative option is to install an LPG storage tank.

Design of engineering systems of a country house: the nuances of preparation

Engineering systems and communications are a costly part of construction; their cost can reach 25-35% of the estimate. Such an expensive component requires special attention during selection and installation; otherwise, the cost of rework or repair will be too high. The best option for arranging engineering systems is their planning and design simultaneously with the house and laying in compliance with the construction stages. Before starting the design, consider the following factors:

    Budget framework.

    Features of home operation. Whether the owners want to live in the house permanently or periodically. It is also important how many people will live in the cottage, and what home appliances will be installed.

    Features of laying networks. A country house often has two floors and an area larger than a city apartment. The load on engineering communications will be higher, and more powerful equipment will be required. If backbone networks are not available, an alternative (stand-alone) solution will have to be developed.

About designing communications of a country house in the following video:

After studying the conditions and wishes of the customer, the following is developed:

    Preliminary design. Schematic diagram that includes the necessary systems.

    Technical task. Includes a scheme of engineering networks, detailed drawings for laying communications, a preliminary estimate.

When developing the terms of reference, important details are taken into account:

    Determined relative location of the house, outbuildings, a well (well) and a septic tank. This will help determine the length of external engineering systems, the method of laying them (open or closed) and winding into the premises.

    Calculated water consumption. This is done based on data on the area of ​​the cottage, the number of residents, the method of heating.

    Calculated power consumption at home (based on the calculation of the amount of consumption of household appliances and devices). Based on these data, electrical wiring and protective devices are selected, a place for mounting the switchboard is determined.

    Method of supplying electricity. If the nearest pole is far away (more than 25 m), you will need to install an intermediate pole or run an underground cable.

Cottage engineering communications: automation and reliability

A country house has long ceased to be a place for summer holidays. Many families live outside the city all year round, so perfect work is required from engineering systems. If electricity goes out for several hours in a city apartment in winter, it will look like an annoying nuisance that does not seriously affect anything. If this happens in a private house with autonomous communications, the plumbing, heating and sewerage systems may freeze, which can only be called a disaster.

A new generation of engineering communications in a private house has a high level of automation. They are able to work efficiently and reliably, coping with the increased demands and pressures of modern life:

    House area. In most cases, it exceeds the area of ​​urban housing, which implies an increased engineering load.

    Number of equipment. In country cottages, not only dishwashers, jacuzzis and home theaters are installed. Often the house is decorated with an indoor swimming pool or a wellness center, and a security and fire alarm system monitors the order.

Automation greatly simplifies the management of home systems Source proexpress.com.ua

Increasingly, the automation of suburban housing is carried out in a complex way (the "Smart House" system), with maximum control and computer control. The equipment of the system is not cheap, but in the future it allows you to save time and money, as well as reliably solve several problems:

    Choose the optimal load with which the systems will work.

    Develop a dynamic system with the possibility of flexible management and modernization. The owners will be able to set the operating mode for alarms and CCTV cameras. It's not hard to set up a schedule for lights, blinds, home appliances, a computer, or a music center to turn on and off.

    Set up a disaster prevention system(cutting off gas or water) and danger alerts.

Installation of utilities in a turnkey private house

Profile construction companies offer services for the design and installation of engineering communications. The cost of engineering communications can be estimated after studying the design of the house; an integrated approach allows you to take into account all the technological nuances:

    Correct connection to existing infrastructures, taking into account their proximity and capacity.

    Design of home engineering systems with an assessment of safety, reference to the terrain, proximity to the routes and seismicity of the area.

    Design of external networks. A project is being developed for the water supply and sewerage network, the supply of electricity and gas, and the drainage system. The type of heating, the design of the boiler room, external lighting, drainage system, communication are being considered.

    Design of internal networks. The piping, electrical network, ventilation and air conditioning, filtration and purification systems are being thought out. At the request of the owners, a fire alarm and security system are added.

    Coordination. All projects are drawn up taking into account fire and sanitary standards and are checked for compliance with the rules of SNiP and GOST.

Conclusion

The best solution for the owner of a country cottage would be to order all design and installation work in one construction company. This will save money and eliminate the need to find a contractor for each engineering system and subsequent control and coordination of work. A complex order of such complex projects guarantees high-quality execution and reliable functioning of all life support systems in your home.

Once upon a time, nature lovers had to choose between comfortable urban conditions and the delights of country life. Now there is no need for this - today any private housing can be equipped with all the necessary engineering systems - electricity, sewerage, water, heating. Moreover, it is possible to create an engineering infrastructure even where there are no centralized networks. How to organize life in a country cottage so that it is more convenient in it than in an apartment - we share the experience of our users in this week's topic.
