Low-rise houses in panel design is the second birth of large-panel housing construction

The possibility of the Russian housing construction industrial base of house-building and precast concrete plants usage in factory products for low-rise buildings construction manufacture was considered. In the Russian Federation, since the 1980s, the commissioning of housing in large-scale production has sharply decreased (from 70% to 10–15% currently). Herewith the volume of apartment buildings construction has decreased over the past 3–5 years, and a further decrease to 30% for the coming years is confirmed. Meanwhile people prefer the construction of individual low-rise buildings with a small plot of 6–8 acres. The volume of such construction exceeds multi-storey one annually on 8–10 million m2. Production facilities are being released. This allows, according to the author, to use the released capacities for the individual low-rise buildings production. Pilot developments of the most in-demand area from 80 to 120–140 m2 let to create the system of fully assembled houses of factory-made house kits from prefabricated grillings to prefabricated roof slabs, including all roof elements, which installation was previously carried out on the construction site and was significant in time and cost. 100% of the prefabricated products for low-rise house construction allows transferring low-rise house construction processes to factory conditions as much as possible, increase labor productivity, better working conditions for workers and improve the construction quality.
