ZTC built my house in 2012, and they have done some reclamation work in two periods since then. Only positive experiences with ZTC! Good quality of workmanship and customer support.
Foundations and project
Foundations for a timber frame house
Foundation choice depends on soil, geology and the project. ZTC manufactures and assembles timber structures but does not build foundations.

Timber structures are light — foundations must be reviewed with a specialist
Timber frame structures are relatively light, so strip foundations or piles are often suitable. The specific solution is determined by ground conditions, topography and the architect project. See timber frame houses and timber house price.
Typical foundation options and responsibilities
Typical solutions
- Strip foundations — often suitable for light timber structures.
- Pile foundations — possible depending on ground conditions.
- First-floor panel solution — depends on project and foundation level.
Prepared by client / architect / foundation contractor
- Foundation design and construction — ZTC does not provide this.
- Geological survey and topography.
- Architectural drawings and utility coordination.
- Information about completed foundations before ZTC production starts.

Ļoti profesionāls un ieinteresēts darbs no ZTC puses, lai maksimāli izpildītu klienta vēlmes mājas būvniecībā, ieguldot laiku visu detaļu precizēšanā, kā rezultātā pašas būvniecības laikā neko nevajadzēja koriģēt un ir tapusi patiesi kvalitatīva māja. Atzinīgus vārdus par mājas būvniecības kvalitāti saņēmām no visiem speciālistiem, ar kuriem sadarbojāmies vēlāk - liekot logus un durvis, jumta segumu un apdari. Paldies par paveikto un varam tikai ieteikt citiem izmantot ZTC pakalpojums māju būvniecībā! Pateicībā, Irēna un Janeks
