The cost of building a house is only part of the expenses associated with the investment. Equally important are the running costs that arise in the subsequent years of the building's use. A modular frame house and a brick house may be similar in terms of space and functionality, but their maintenance costs are not always the same. Heating costs ...
Why do roof trusses reduce roof construction time?
Modern construction is increasingly relying on solutions that allow investments to be carried out more quickly without compromising the quality of the construction. In this context, roof trusses play a major role, replacing traditional trusses made directly on site. Thanks to prefabrication, most of the construction work is done in advance at the production site. Prefabricated elements are delivered to the construction site, which...
Seagull or Breeze? Which frame house of approx. 100 m² should I choose?
A timber-frame house is not a choice based solely on square footage. The proportions of the massing, the functional layout, the relationship to the plot and the daily ergonomics of use are equally important. Our popular house designs „Mewa” and „Bryza” fall into a similar area range, but represent two different approaches to living. Both solutions were created with the intention of houses...
Insulated foundation slab for a modular home - why is it worth it?
In modular technology, the foundation for the house is not just the „base of the building”, but an integral part of the entire structural system. It has a direct impact on the stability of the house, its energy efficiency, comfort of use and durability for years to come. This is why more and more builders are opting for a modern, predictable and well-suited modular house solution - the slab...
Modular house and future expansion - a design with the family in mind
Thinking about the future of a home is one of the most common topics raised by builders. As the family changes and housing needs grow over time, building a house is a decision made with the long term in mind. This naturally raises the question of whether a modular home can be extended in the future and to what extent...
A timber-frame house - can the structure withstand wind and snow?
One of the more common questions asked by builders choosing a timber-frame house is its resistance to strong winds and heavy snow loads. Doubts are understandable, as timber-frame technology is still sometimes compared to masonry construction. More often than not, this is simplistic or not entirely fair. In practice, however, the safety of a building is not determined by ...
Frame house and acoustics - how partitioning details affect occupant comfort
A timber-framed house works differently to a masonry construction. The lighter mass, greater flexibility and complex layering of the partitions mean that the acoustics of a modular house here are not an add-on on the „finishing” side, but an integral part of the design. At Wascovilla, we treat it as an important performance parameter, on a par with thermal performance and airtightness. Acoustic comfort is the result of many...
Modular house - assembly logistics and timely investment
At Wascovilla, we know that even the best-designed modular house will not meet the expectations of the builder if the logistical process is not carried out with absolute precision. The timeliness of the investment here is not the result of random luck. It is the result of structured planning, coordination of activities and a thorough understanding of the technology we use. We combine skeleton and modular technology, which allows us to...
House construction and modern design in timber-frame technology
At Wascovilla, we know that the construction of a house should be characterised by durability and energy efficiency, while the design itself should meet contemporary utility and aesthetic needs. That is why we combine timber-frame and modular technology, achieving solutions that are modern, functional and economical to maintain. Timber-frame technology is currently one of the most dynamically developing solutions in the construction...
Modular house as a rental investment - is it worthwhile?
The rising costs of traditional construction, uncertainty in the property market and increasingly high short-term rental yields are causing investors to look for new forms of capital investment. Among these, the modular home is increasingly emerging. The solution, which only a few years ago was mainly associated with mobility and seasonality, is today becoming a fully-fledged alternative to...
