All activities have been carried out exactly as predicted with the lorries, cranes and erection team arriving on time. All construction panels were manufactured precisely and with all components arriving as per the schedule there were no problems encountered on site.

The Swedish erection team and UK joiners all worked well together working long days to ensure the house was watertight at the earliest possible time.

Roof decking was completed enabling the water proof roofing membrane to be laid providing a virtually rain protected structure at the end of day 3. This stage requires considered coordination by the project manager to line up the appropriate contractors.

The joins in the wall panels are made airtight by the lapping of the vapour check membrane which is completed today. Most of the internal walls are prefinished with plasterboard, some are supplied loose so that this operation is easy and accessible. Externally, the join between ground and first floors is covered with boarding matching the outside of the wall panels.

The internal wall timbers are all pre-cut and labelled for each section of wall affording precise construction minimising waste.

The second lorry arrives on time at the start of day 2. The opening top and sides of the trailer allows for all of the components to be off loaded in a couple of hours enabling easy selection of components to be craned into position including large sliding doors and roof trusses.

The first floor wall panels were lifted into position in the order described on the drawings. On top of these were then lifted the gable wall pieces and roof trusses

The lorries with all the materials and components, assembly team and the crane arrived on site as per the agreedprogramme. It is imperative at this stage to have had all permits and road closures in place prior this day.

The ground floor walls were placed in position on a concrete foundation and fixed into position to other wall panels and the soleplate. After all the ground floor walls were in position the floor joists are craned inside the walls and the floor construction commenced. Insulation is added to the floor zone ring beam prior to the first floor panels placed in position to
ensure continuity of insulation.

All windows, doors, electrical conduits, switch and socket boxes and ventilation inlets are all installed in the factory and are an integral part of the wall panels.

Trivselhus is one of the leading companies in Sweden producing precision, factory manufactured modern timber homes.

The main market is Sweden but we also export to Norway, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands and the UK. There is a long experience in Export and one has learnt through the years, to take advantage of local traditions in design and to integrate local materials into the building methods.

All houses are well planned and aiming to combine good architecture with a maximum of quality. Accurate detailing and  best efficiencies promote energy saving and sustainability.

In order to bring the Trivselhus concept into the Self-build market in the UK, a partnership has been established between Trivselhus, Esh Group and Wisemove. As a result, the new brandname Climät-Hus is formed.
