Additions to buildings

The Readycon Engineering company offers a number of READY SOLUTIONS for capital buildings requiring an increase in the number of storeys, as well as the construction of attics. Using the features of LGSF technology, much is now possible. It is easy to build a turnkey addition on a building! The light weight of the extension erected using LGSF technology makes it possible to build additional floors above the existing building. The cost of such a construction is much lower than the traditional one. The construction of an addition is quite practical, as it increases the housing stock if it is a residential building or expands the commercial area if it is a commercial building without significant capital construction costs.

An extension erected on a permanent building may have an individual shape which is different from the shape of the building and can even have a different purpose of use. The addition may have an identical area with the existing structure or may go beyond it. With a significant offset it is necessary to form additional supports due to the load on the walls of the capital building. It all depends on the specific idea that is pursued during the construction of the extension.

A big advantage of LGSF technology is an opportunity to use it in the reconstruction of buildings in ancient areas of cities where it is extremely difficult to use heavy equipment, and the strength of buildings does not allow the use of classic building materials.

ADVANTAGES OF LGSF ADDITIONS:

ATTRACTIVE PRICE;
SERVICE LIFE > 50 years;
DURABILITY OF THE FRAME;
SHORT CONSTRUCTION TERMS;
ALL-SEASON INSTALLATION;
RESPECT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT;
SAFETY.

TECHNOLOGICAL FEATURES

Steel structures assembled from LGSF profiles are used during the construction of additions. LGSF frame used for construction of attics and various types of extensions is lightweight and does not exert a large load on the walls and the foundation that is very economically beneficial and directly affects the construction price. Besides, due to the use of LGSF frame, the space of the interior of an addition or an attic increases by 7-10% that gives additional free space. It is connected with the small thickness of the enclosing structures and internal walls.

Using LGSF technology it is possible to build additional floors quickly enough and the price of the extension is low. There is no need for lifting equipment. The frame is assembled from prefabricated structures delivered to the construction site, such as columns, trusses, enclosing panels, and roofing materials. Installation is carried out by a small team of installers using hand tools. When installing the superstructure above the building, there is no need to resettle the people who inhabit the upper floors of the addition of the capital building.

LGSF technology for attics has some advantages, the main of which is greater resistance to wind and snow loads, as well as low construction costs when obtaining a significant living area, especially if the building is located in a densely populated central part of the city.

Additions to buildings are of several types:

A conventional extention retains the internal structure of the building, its overall dimensions. Most low-rise buildings can be raised on several floors having previously made an examination of the technical condition of the building.
An addition with the load change. During the construction of such an extension, the entire weight from the load is redistributed to unloaded structures. The expediency of such an addition is when it is impossible to perform the construction of additional floors by the traditional method. Naturally, this opportunity is confirmed before the start of the design.
Non-loadable additions. It is possible to build such extentions over capital buildings and use more additional floors. According to modern standards, in most of old districts of cities the density of the housing stock is insignificant. Non-loadable extentions are built using additional supports or other load-bearing elements that have an individual foundation.

SCOPE OF APPLICATION

An addition to a capital building is an architectural structure designed to implement certain tasks. First of all, get additional usable area and floors. Extensions can be either single-storey or multi-storey. With the help of an addition, it is possible to modify and improve the facade of an outdated building, as well as to implement new design ideas for the reconstruction of an old building giving it an updated and unique look as a whole. With the help of LGSF technology, its flexibility and low weight most tasks are feasible.

Attics from LGSF during construction on buildings maximize the internal area. LGSF easily hold external loads and completely protect from bad weather, snow, rain, and wind.

The construction of extensions is applicable in many areas of construction:

Mansards and roofs for private houses;
Increasing the area and number of storeys of buildings;
Increasing the number of storeys of commercial buildings;
Reconstruction and restoration of buildings and outbuildings;
