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.

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...

Prefabrication in construction - how does it change the builder's role in the home building process?
Only a dozen years ago, the individual builder was forced to run an arduous marathon through the construction site: from finding a team, to keeping an eye on deliveries, to resolving conflicts between contractors. Today, thanks to prefabrication technology in construction, this role is starting to look very different. More like a partnership than full-time project management. Prefabrication in construction is changing the way,...
