Residential Construction

The construction of multi-story residential facilities is an effective solution to the problem of providing the population with quality housing. Competent development allows for the creation of comfortable living conditions for a large number of families on a limited territory. The implementation of such projects requires high precision at every stage, as the safety and well-being of residents depend on the quality of execution.

Classification of Residential Construction Objects

  • A multi-apartment residential building is a standalone building intended for the permanent residence of people in isolated apartments. Such facilities can have various numbers of floors—from low-rise (3-5 floors) to high-rise (above 75 meters). The advantage of this type of housing is the rational use of territory and developed infrastructure.
  • A residential complex is a large-scale project including several multi-apartment buildings united by developed shared infrastructure. Modern residential complexes include not only residential buildings but also social and domestic facilities: kindergartens and schools, shopping centers, sports grounds, parking lots, recreation areas, and improved courtyard territories. Residential complexes create an autonomous environment for comfortable living, where residents have access to all additional services without leaving the territory. Such projects are especially relevant when developing new city districts.
  • Individual housing construction deals with the erection of standalone buildings for one family to live in. Such facilities, as a rule, have up to three floors and are located on separate land plots. Individual houses can be built according to standard or individual projects, allowing owners to realize individual architectural solutions. The advantages of this type of housing are complete autonomy and the possibility of arranging a local area.

Modern Technologies for Erecting Residential Facilities

The choice of optimal construction technology is based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors: climatic conditions of the region, seismic activity of the territory, soil characteristics, material availability, and investors' financial capabilities. Currently, along with monolithic construction, structures made of precast reinforced concrete are widely used.

Advantages of Reinforced Concrete Structures

Factory-produced reinforced concrete products have a number of advantages:

  • High load-bearing capacity of reinforced concrete products ensures the reliability of the entire building.
  • The durability of reinforced concrete guarantees long-term operation without loss of performance characteristics.
  • Installation of precast elements is significantly faster compared to other solutions.
  • The ability to create large spans expands the options for layout solutions.
  • Factory production of elements ensures strict compliance with technical characteristics and high product quality.

An important advantage is the all-season nature of installation work—assembly of structures is almost independent of weather conditions, unlike technologies requiring concrete curing on site.

Technology of Building Construction from Precast Reinforced Concrete

Initially, precast reinforced concrete structures were used exclusively in industrial and commercial construction. Modern architectural solutions and flexible layouts have made them in demand in the residential sector. The use of ready-made elements allows for reduced material consumption and enables year-round construction.

The building frame is formed from factory-made columns, girders, and stair structures. The foundation part is made of beam elements on which vertical supports are mounted with a spacing of 6 to 12 meters. Connection joints are carefully concreted, providing excellent comprehensive protection from moisture and heat loss.

Horizontal stiffening ribs are mounted from girders and floor slabs, after which external enclosing structures are installed. The thickness of wall elements is determined by the climatic needs of the region. After installing the external walls, internal structures are erected. The final stage is finishing work.

Precast-Monolithic Technology

The combined method involves the use of ready-made reinforced concrete products and monolithic structures erected directly on the construction site. The load-bearing frame is assembled from factory columns, girders, and floor slabs.

The rigidity of the frame is ensured by passing reinforcement bars through the finished elements with subsequent concreting of the joints. Additional precast elements such as stair flights, ventilation ducts, and factory-made interior partitions can be used.

The combined technology opens up opportunities for constructing buildings with special spans and diverse layout solutions. At the same time, material savings are achieved, which positively affects the cost of housing. The technology allows for the construction of high-rise objects of 30 floors and above.

Monolithic Technology

Monolithic construction is based on the use of high-strength concrete mix, which is poured into formwork systems. The formwork is located along the building's perimeter and precisely reproduces its geometry. To ensure strength characteristics, a reinforcement cage is placed inside the formwork. Loads are distributed between reinforced concrete columns, reinforcement, and the foundation, which is sunk to a depth of at least two floors.

Monolithic technology is ideal for erecting high-rise objects, distinguished by increased reliability and flexibility of layout solutions. However, the high cost of work makes this method unattractive for low-rise construction.

Frame-Panel Technology

The frame-panel construction method is considered one of the most cost-effective. All key parts of the structure, including frame elements and wall panels, are manufactured at the factory.

There are three main types of frames:

  1. Frame type — all loads are borne by rigid frames consisting of vertical columns and horizontal girders, firmly connected to each other.
  2. Bracing type — columns and girders handle vertical loads, and horizontal impacts are distributed to special stiffening diaphragms.
  3. Frame-braced type — a combination of reinforced concrete frames and vertical diaphragms allows for handling all possible loads.

Thanks to frame-panel technology, buildings from 15 to 25 floors with spans up to 18 meters long can be constructed, providing significant freedom in choosing layouts. However, the use of standardized parts somewhat narrows the options for building exterior design.

MARASHSTROY Company — an Expert in Residential Construction

MARASHSTROY Company specializes in the implementation of residential projects of any complexity and scale. We construct both individual multi-apartment buildings and full-fledged residential complexes with comprehensive infrastructure, applying advanced construction technologies and quality materials.

Extensive practical experience and a team of qualified specialists allow us to provide comprehensive project support: concept development, permitting documentation, design, and execution of the full cycle of construction and installation works.

Modern Design Approaches

When developing project documentation, MARASHSTROY uses Building Information Modeling (BIM) technologies, allowing for the creation of a digital model of the future facility. The information model contains data on all aspects of construction: 3D visualization of the building, detailed diagrams and calculations of structural elements, work production schedules, detailed schedules for commissioning facilities.

Cooperation Format

Interaction with clients and investors is carried out on the basis of an EPC contract. Under such an agreement, MARASHSTROY assumes full responsibility for design, survey work, documentation approval, material procurement, construction and installation works, and facility commissioning.

Implemented Projects

Among the successfully implemented projects of MARASHSTROY Company are:

  • Residential complex Da Vinci in Odintsovo, Moscow Region;
  • Residential complexes Sedmoye Nebo and Khoroshiye Khoromy in Moscow;
