House from Scratch in 30 Days: All Details of the Third Construction Phase

Building a modular home for the Avito competition winner in 30 days continues: we've already shared recommendations on choosing a plot and main works on it, conducted a brief tour of modular home production, and even managed to deliver the house to the site.

Now it's time to connect modules, install windows and a warm floor, and also tell you about external and internal finishing. There are many details to consider here.

About module connection

Module connection in modular homes is a weak point. To prevent drafts, we close the thermal circuit: install insulation tape, tighten straps, connect floor, roof and walls (insulation must be properly connected and pressed).

If you're building a house yourself and are afraid of making a mistake or worry that contractors might be untrustworthy, reach out to verified services. On Avito Services, thousands of performers are ready to help at any stage of building country housing — from insulation to interior finishing or furniture assembly.

To find a great specialist, review reviews: you'll only see real comments. Make sure to check examples of work to understand if the specialist suits your needs. Don't forget to use the location filter: you'll see all performers nearby. Most importantly, with the "service cost" filter, you'll find a professional within your comfortable price range — no budget overruns beyond what was planned for construction.

About finishing

Several materials are used in the bedroom of our modular home. The wooden bleached log cabin has undeniable advantages: it's produced in factory conditions, painted and dried, so there are no issues during installation.

We also use panels based on moisture-resistant MDF: this material is perfect for country homes.

About windows and warm floors

In modular homes, it's crucial to pay attention to the accuracy of installation in all aspects: internal and external finishing must match. Installing windows is a meticulous process. A specialist removes the sash, fits the frame, secures the gasket, fills with foam, and then installs the cladding that works for both internal and external finishes.

A warm floor is also installed in our country home: it provides comfort for residents at any time of year.

All the smallest details of the first, second and third phases, more useful information, expert advice, and most importantly, a video from the construction site are available at the link below.
