GoFrame™ Case

Fast and simple annex construction

A pre-processed and labelled building kit made it possible to assemble the annex's four walls in 68 minutes. First, the bottom plate was thoroughly checked. After that, the pace picked up.

Preparation

First, the foundation for the assembly had to be in place

Patrick and Christoffer from B.B. Håndværk Totalentreprise ApS started with the bottom plate. They spent just under an hour on this, as they wanted to be absolutely certain that everything was perfect and the structure was correctly square and level.

This thorough start provided a solid basis for the rest of the work. Once the bottom plate was in place, the labelled and pre-processed parts could be assembled directly.

The annex was built in situ, so the bottom plate was installed before the walls went up.
Assembly

Four walls in 68 minutes

After the bottom plate, the wall assembly went quickly. The first wall took 27 minutes, and the next three were each erected in 13 to 14 minutes.

The building kit

Details were prepared before delivery

The individual timber parts were delivered cut, processed and labelled for their position in the structure. This reduced the on-site work to a manageable assembly task.

The Result

An assembly that surprised both the craftsmen and the client

We really didn't expect it to be so easy and quick to assemble. The client themselves was also a bit lost for words at how fast it went. We will definitely use you again if we get the chance.

The experience from the project was clear: when the parts are delivered as a well-prepared building kit, there's no reason to build the same structure from scratch on site.
