From a German perspective, I am always surprised how much our house construction in Germany/Europe differs from so many house construction techniques in the world. This house in the video is actually made of wood with some panelling. Even the simplest houses in Germany are built with massive concrete walls. I really wonder how this very different construction technique came about. Because there is not such a huge difference in temperature between Germany and New Zealand. On average, Germany is perhaps 3-4 degrees Celsius colder than New Zealand. But I can hardly imagine whether that justifies the building site, which is much more massive. There is also no house in Germany without a basement, which seems to be unusual in many other countries.
Hey Mr H8ter No1. I have had similar queries to yours from lots of European trades people regarding NZ construction methodologies. Some of the primary reasons for the difference in construction elements and methodologies is because New Zealand has some of the most extreme weather variability in the world - one day it can be 35 degrees and the next day it can literally be snowing. I mean it, I've experienced it. Then you can get all the other weathering elements in between, in any given week. Furthermore, with regard to concrete (I love concrete), my understanding is that NZ is very earthquake prone, and therefore, reinforcing concrete and placing lots of it (walls and foundations) on land which can't handle that much weight without serious resources put in to making the land solid bearing, is problematic and costly. The land here is a patchwork of various technical categories which are more earthquake and flood prone than other parts of the world. Also we grow lots of trees and timber is much cheaper. Timber also has a lower carbon footprint than concrete. Timber is also flexible and can potentially stand up to an earthquake quite well......depending on how far away the epicentre is and how strong the quake is.... Anyway, that is my understanding and I would be wrong. There are lots of other reasons too. There are lots of variables.
Stick to how you build in Europe. Miles ahead of typical building in NZ. Our building code lets us build to a very basic standard, but we should be building to a much higher standard. We've continued to build using "match sticks" which we did initially because of the abundance of trees we had in NZ when we were clearing land for residential building. Essentially we haven't evolved the bulk building we do beyond this outdated technique since then.
I like it, the layout is simple, but functional! The house is very well integrated into the landscape, the style is in harmony with nature. Nothing superfluous! Cool!
@@soothingsounds7058 An interesting fact: Houses made using old growth lumber have higher resistance to fire because the wood is actually denser and burns more slowly!
As an American construction management student I have so many questions, but found this build to be very unique and educational. Very different plans in NZ compared to here in North America.
Questions. So many questions. Why the wood pilings under the foundation? The framing was obviously pre-assembled, but what is the pink stain? Is that some sort of insect/water proofing or simply the supplier's mark? All the cross members between the studs gives significant racking strength. Earthquake requirement? Is rockwool insulation typical in NZ? Is the sheathing bonded to a foam layer like the ZIP system in the States? Taping the seams? I would have loved to see a window install detail to see how water-proofing is achieved. Would have also liked to see the rain screen install under the rock facade.
In Canada that would be about 1.5 mill and another 650,000 for the land. Looks like about 3500 sq ft give or take. No basement which might be an issue here in Canada. Pile driven foundations are not a common technology since basements are prevalent here. That would necessitate a full truss design and basement construction using poured rebar to create a complete unit that would move as a unit in the event of ground shift and manage the truss system that supports the main floor. Those would add a few percent onto the budget for materials engineering and specialized labor. Some issues may arise with building code compliance being different in Ontario for example the in NZ. But the figures should be decently in the ballpark. Fit and finishes could alter the price by 10% either way as well as insulation and hard surface choices such as the flooring could impact estimate. Resale value could be about$ 2.54 million after a couple of years.
@@PWingert1966 wow ok they rip you off then in Canada. That's nowhere near a reasonable "price" and most definitely not resembling the true value. I mean this slab isn't even thermally decoupled, it's framed with little sticks and I could go on and on. I've been to Canada too, Ive seen your houses. Im from Switzerland and our codes and methods are leaps and bounds beyond this and absolutely no one would pay that for this. In fact, i get a significantly higher quality build here for a lot less than 2.5mil. But hey, you do you couldn't care less what sort of mortgages people put up with. But let me tell, they rip you off.
@@David-nk3kq the piles are used to support the concrete when the grounds' load-bearing capacity is not up to scratch - note, not all jobs require this option.
I have a Finnish Log cabin at the end of my garden as a salon and it's so solid if you insulated it you could easily live in it and easily last 25+years. Took 4 days to build.
I now believe that every country have different ways of building a house, here in my country a $2Million home is like a mansion already and everything is built with concrete and steel, the wood are only use for the mold and frame of the house except for the doors of course. Anyway the build is great, good job.
Hi. Nice Build. Just a question about the wooden pile that was driven to the ground. Was it connected to the cement slab? If so, how was it connected? Just curious.
I would assume due to the soft clay materiel the wooden pile were driven intill it possibly hit rock or hard surface, I think it stops the slab from slumping and cracking over time
the piles are used to support the concrete when the grounds' load-bearing capacity is not up to scratch - note, not all jobs require this option... & no, the slab isn't connected to the pile - rather, it is poured over the top...
What does NZ consider this type of home? Here in the USA, carpenters hate pre built modular homes. As easier and cheaper, did you have the option to build on site? Or was this a plan that was bought?
This is Deffinately not considered a modular/pre-built home here, usually framing is done off-site mainly for time efficiency, while the site&foundations are been done others can be in the workshop assembling the frames at the same time. Saves time on-site.
very nice, what are the very large white styrofoam blocks you put in before the slab was poured? are these to save on cement costs or as thermal insulation or both? Do they have a proper name and what size thickness was used?
Im interested in the foundation. What's the purpose of the foam if its not as part of a raft. Aside from the environmental question, why not just pour concrete?
nice job. I am curious what's the purpose of the wooden logs buried at the start 1:40 if then they were covered by concrete. wouldn't they rotten over time and leave air gaps?
Timber Driven Piles to support concrete foundations, one of the options we use when the grounds load bearing capacity is not up to scratch From what I understand the piles are treated, and the absence of oxygen also prevents them from rotting
True, typically in Australia we use metal screw piers or concrete piers to support the slab. Never seen treated timber used. Probably last a long time but wouldn’t think it’s ideal.
As a former builder in NZ, the piles are a common occurrence over here - treated to H3 (H4 is used in Termite zones, ie not in NZ & 5 being marine grade). H1 is used for formwork/boxing for concrete footings; H2 is generally used for the internal structural framework with an H3 bottom plate - anything that touches concrete -- if a concrete slab is used, then there's a damp-proof layer between the concrete & the bottom plate; if it's timber floor atop timber piles/bearers & joists, the damp-proofing is optional ). Don't worry about the regs re their use tho - NZ councils/building inspectors are very strict about what goes into a building over here!
@@rafailasimopoulos2807 As long as the timbers are fully encapsulated It is very hard for moisture, oxygen, and bacteria to get to them. yYu end up with anerobic decomposition where the fibrous cells of the wood actually break down. But the house would probably be good on those timbers for 75 to 100 years as long as they do not become exposed to oxygen and the right bacteria. They were able to pull up logs from the Great Lakes forestry 200 years ago and reuse them for construciton and furniture as an example of fully encapsulated wood. Also, those piles are probably treated on the surface with a penetrating chemical that will limit any moisture.

Is it a common thing in that area to not lay plywood on the roof before the metal roofing is installed? I would think plywood would add some insulation, soundproofing and strength but I'm unfamiliar with building norms and regulations in that area obviously.
not common at all for sheathing the roof... in NZ, it's trusses/purlins/iron. on the underside (ie working down) it's trusses/ceiling battens/insulation/plasterboard

The framing wood was a reddish or pinkish color. What does that signify? After some time in the rain, it looked like color faded away. Nice use of insulation under the slab. Great details for rebar, thicken edges, concrete beams, and expansion joints. While it is hard to build a home in 10 minutes, it is possible to build one in under 1 month. Good project management and tight schedules can reduce time when no one is on site and no work is being done. I am Former Boeing Everett and we can built a 747 in a week. It has 6 million parts and very strict rules on assembly. I have seen houses built in 1 week. They are not inferior to same house built in 6 months... yeah try and explain that to client. *_Looks like a great place to raise a family. Thanks for sharing._*
The Pink color indicates that the wood used in the element is a structural wood such as yellow pine. sometimes colored coating can indicate treatment for termites or mold resistance, subject to local code.

Good project management and tight schedules can reduce time when no one is on site and no work is being done. I am Former Boeing Everett and we can built a 747 in a week. It has 6 million parts and very strict rules on assembly. I have seen houses built in 1 week. They are not inferior to same house built in 6 months... yeah try and explain that to client.
*_Looks like a great place to raise a family. Thanks for sharing._*
