Fortress uses advanced Prefab technology for the construction of frame houses, which ensures high quality, speed of construction and reliability of our buildings. Prefab technology (from the English “prefabricated” – prefabricated) is a process of manufacturing individual elements of the house at the factory and their subsequent assembly at the construction site. Here are the main stages and advantages of this technology:

Design and planning:
At the initial stage, our specialists develop a detailed project of the house, taking into account all the wishes of the client and the features of the site. The project includes accurate drawings and specifications of all elements of the structure.

Factory production:
After the project is approved, the factory begins production of all the main elements of the house, such as walls, floors, roof and other components. All elements are manufactured under controlled conditions, which guarantees their high quality and compliance with standards.

Transportation and assembly:
Finished elements are delivered to the construction site and installed by a professional team. Thanks to preliminary preparation, the assembly of the house is fast and without unnecessary delays. This reduces construction time and minimizes the impact on the environment.

High precision and quality:
Factory production of elements ensures high precision and quality of assembly. All components undergo strict quality control, which eliminates the possibility of errors and defects on the construction site.

Energy efficiency and insulation:
The materials and technologies used allow you to create an energy-efficient house with excellent thermal insulation characteristics. High-density stone wool in the walls and floor, vapor barrier and external membrane provide a comfortable microclimate in the house and reduce heating and cooling costs.

Design flexibility:
Prefab technology allows you to implement a wide variety of architectural solutions and styles. You can choose a ready-made project or order an individual one created especially for you.

Environmental friendliness:
Prefab construction reduces the amount of construction waste and allows you to use materials efficiently, which makes this method more environmentally friendly compared to traditional construction methods.

Thanks to Prefab technology, houses from Fortress are highly reliable, energy efficient and quick to build. We ensure the comfort and durability of your home by using the most modern and proven technologies in construction.

To order a house, you need to contact our company’s office. There you will be able to meet our specialists who will help you choose a suitable project, taking into account your wishes and requirements. After agreeing on the project, our experts will specify in detail the selected materials, draw up a detailed cost estimate and agree on the production and installation dates. Only after this will the final contract be signed, guaranteeing high-quality and timely execution of all work.

We use the services of transport companies to deliver the frame house elements. Usually, standard covered trucks are used for this purpose. The number of necessary vehicles is determined after the project is approved. Delivery services and the use of a truck crane on site are carried out at the customer’s expense. Loading at the production site is already included in the total cost.

The cost of delivery depends on the model of the house and the distance. The cost is calculated based on the freight carrier’s tariff.

The exact cost of delivery of your house will be calculated when preparing a commercial offer.

Important! The buyer is responsible for access to the site and the successful passage of equipment (truck crane, manipulator).

The cost of the foundation is not included in the cost of the house and is calculated separately.

Frame houses allow for various types of foundations depending on the soil and construction conditions:

Strip foundation: Suitable for most soils, provides reliable support and uniform load distribution.

Pile-screw foundation: Ideal for difficult soils, quickly installed and saves materials.

Slab foundation: Provides stability on soft and shifting soils, can be used for underfloor heating.

Columnar foundation: Economical and suitable for lightweight structures on stable soils.

The choice of foundation depends on geological conditions, type of construction and budget.

FORTRESS contractors can provide advice and calculate the cost of the foundation based on specific conditions and requirements.

To ensure a comfortable temperature inside the house and reduce energy consumption for heating and cooling, we use high-density stone wool in 250 mm thick walls and 250 mm roofs. The two-sided membrane provides protection against moisture, preventing moisture from penetrating from the outside and allowing condensation to be released inside the insulation. This maintains a healthy environment and ensures the durability of the structure.

In the houses, all wiring is hidden in the frame, which creates an aesthetically pleasing and neat appearance. The cable is laid inside the walls in a flexible self-extinguishing metal-plastic corrugated sleeve, which ensures safety and protection of the wiring from external influences.

The material of the wire used in Fortress houses is copper. Copper is one of the most effective materials for electrical wiring, as it has high electrical conductivity and reliability. The use of copper in wiring ensures a stable and efficient power supply for all electrical devices and systems in the house.

Yes, you can order additional insulation for your FORTRESS home, taking into account your individual requirements.

The modular home kit, regardless of the model, includes a three-phase 25A category B fuse block.

A 16A circuit breaker for household sockets.

A 10A circuit breaker is installed for lighting.

When choosing the external facade of a frame house, you have two main options: ventilated and non-ventilated facade.

Ventilated facade:
– Materials: Wood and metal.
– Features: Provides air circulation between the facade material and the wall, which helps remove moisture and prevents mold and condensation. This facade contributes to the durability of the structure and improves the microclimate inside the house.

Non-ventilated facade:
– Materials: Stone wool and facade plaster.
– Features: This type of facade hermetically seals the walls, providing excellent heat and sound insulation. A non-ventilated facade is most often chosen to ensure maximum energy efficiency and minimize heat loss.

The choice between a ventilated and non-ventilated facade depends on your preferences and priorities in terms of insulation, durability and appearance of the house.

We recommend equipping your home with a ventilation system. To do this, you need to contact a specialized company for installing ventilation systems and get advice. At the stage of developing the design project, we will make the necessary changes for installing ventilation.

Frame houses can be equipped with various heating systems, each of which has its own advantages and is suitable for different conditions and owner preferences. Here are the main types of heating systems that can be installed in a frame house:

1. Electric heating:
– Electric convectors: Easy to install, do not require piping. Ideal for small houses or as an additional heat source.
– Infrared heaters: Heat objects and surfaces, not the air, which ensures even heat distribution and energy savings.
– Underfloor heating: Electric underfloor heating systems create comfortable heat and can be used as a primary or additional heating source.

2. Gas heating:
– Gas boilers: A popular and effective option for frame houses. Gas boilers can be condensing or traditional, and they can run on both natural and liquefied gas.
– Underfloor heating: Hydronic underfloor heating systems connected to a gas boiler provide uniform and comfortable heat.

3. Liquid fuel systems:
– Liquid fuel boilers: Can be used in areas where there is no access to natural gas. Such boilers run on diesel or fuel oil and can be integrated with radiators or underfloor heating systems.

4. Solid fuel systems:
– Wood or coal boilers: Suitable for rural areas and provide independent heating. Can be connected to a radiator or underfloor heating system.
– Stoves and fireplaces: Additionally create a cozy atmosphere in the house and can be used as a main or auxiliary source of heat.

5. Heat pumps:
– Air-to-air: Take heat from the outside air and transfer it into the house. Effective in moderate climates.
– Air-to-water: Take heat from the outside air and transfer it to a water heating system, such as radiators or underfloor heating.
– Ground-to-water: Extracts heat from the ground via underground pipes and transfers it to a hydronic heating system. Most energy efficient, but requires a significant initial investment.

6. Combination systems:
– Combination of different sources: For example, using a heat pump in combination with a gas boiler or electric heater. This allows you to optimize energy consumption and provide reliable heating in all conditions.

Recommendations for choosing a heating system

1. Consider the climate: It is important to choose a system that will be efficient in your region. For cold winters, gas boilers or ground-to-water heat pumps are better suited.

2. Consider the available energy resources: The choice of system depends on the availability of natural gas, electricity or other types of fuel in your area.

3. Evaluate energy costs and efficiency: It is important to consider both the initial installation costs and the ongoing costs of operating the heating system.

4. Consult with professionals: Contact specialists for advice and to draw up a heating system project, taking into account the features of your frame house.

Fortress is ready to help you with the selection and installation of the optimal heating system for your frame house, ensuring the comfort and energy efficiency of your home.

The fireplace is not the main source of heating.

Yes, but installation will still be carried out by a certified UAMODULHOUSE team or its official partner.

Installation is carried out only by certified UAMODULHOUSE personnel.

At the buyer’s.

If it rains heavily – no. Light rain will not interfere with installation.

Installation is included in the price of the house.

Yes, at any distance from the plant additional costs:

Crane: based on the rates of local organizations, hour/shift (shift – 8 hours).

Slope site: additional rent of scaffolding.

Seasonal installation: single rate.

We use IZOVAT insulation. The insulation does not contain phenol-formaldehyde resins. The insulation has no chemical smell, is made from natural components, is safe for nature and humans, and is fireproof. It is recommended for use in all climate zones.

This is impossible due to the design features and technology of laying the insulation. Since the frame of the house is assembled from 45×195 timber, in the basic version we use 2 layers of insulation of 100 mm each. The total thickness of the insulation is 200 mm. The “extra” 5 mm of insulation that extend beyond the frame “stick out” creating additional friction between the layers of insulation and the windshield and springing the insulation, pressing it back through the sheathing through the wind protection layer. In the walls we use high-density and rigid insulation of 45-50 kg/m3.
