Completion of the project and assembling

The project was completed in good time, even faster, it took only 2 weeks. The manufacturer does not have an assembly team, but has good partners who provide this service and who are usually recommended to the customers of Freimans Timber Constructions. The timber trusses from the truck were mounted onto the roof in a certain order using special equipment, and they were installed in the right fastening places. The work was carried out by two people. The trusses are not too heavy, on average they weigh approximately 70 kg, they can be lifted and moved by two people easily. The owner is satisfied with the quality of the product and the service. He is convinced that it was the right choice.

Cost in details

Theoretically the calculated prices are approximate, as there are differences in each individual case, but they indicate a trend that can be seen: a prefabricated product will certainly cost less. It also provides the guarantee of higher quality, because it is made of calibrated timber using technological equipment with high precision, as well as before transporting to the object the products undergo careful quality control. In Latvia, the situation with good masters-craftsmen is not hopeful, they as scarce as hen’s teeth, so after you buy timber for roof construction the process of looking for craftsmen will definitely make you wait for a long time until you get the services of a high-quality brigade. The only ones that can be hired fast enough are unexperienced frauds who don’t give a damn about the result.
