How we build

Don't have land yet?

No problem. We introduce you to our partner real estate agents.

How to find your land

Four assemblies, layer by layer.

Every layer is a decision. Pick a zone to see the material, the brand and the build-up.

Explore the layers of the house
Completed TRES4CINCO timber house with dark vertical timber cladding, a covered gallery and a deck on concrete piers; the building layers are marked.

01 Prepainted sheet metal

Insulated sheet-metal roof

Prepainted sheet from our supplier ALUTECHOS over an insulated layer, with a ceiling of plaster, phenolic board or tongue-and-groove boards below. The roof shape and the exact build-up follow the design, the climate and what you need.

Roofing
Prepainted sheet
Ceiling
Plaster, phenolic or T&G board
Variants
Gable, mono-pitch

02 Isover

Timber frame + insulation

Timber stud frame built to US standards. Two uncompressed layers of Isover glass wool between the studs, the Rothoblaas membrane outside against wind and driving rain, and a vapour barrier of 150-micron nylon or aluminium inside. You choose the cladding: Cedral fibre-cement siding, timber or sheet metal. Finished, the wall is about 16–17 or 21–22 cm thick, depending on the studs.

Studs
2x4 or 2x6 inch, every 40 cm
Sheathing
Phenolic board 12 mm
Insulation
2 × 50 mm (10 cm studs) or 2 × 70 mm (15 cm studs)

03 Wood or floating floor

Clear eucalyptus, lapacho or quebracho, or VINIBEL floating floor

Depending on the project and budget: clear eucalyptus wood, hardwoods like lapacho or quebracho, or - as the more affordable option - a VINIBEL floating floor, our sole supplier for that material. The exact build-up depends on the material chosen.

Structure
Depends on the material
Finish
Sealed on site or pre-finished
Insulation
Rock wool possible

04 Reinforced concrete

Concrete piers

The house is anchored on piers of vibrated reinforced concrete, stilt-house (palafito) style, at least 50 cm above the ground. The gap keeps moisture away and lets air move underneath. A bitumen membrane separates the timber from the concrete.

Piers
Vibrated concrete, 30 × 30 cm
Reinforcement
8 mm steel bars
Footing
60 × 60 cm

Matipipe · La Paloma

Thank you, Tres4Cinco, for making our dream come true!

Building our house in La Paloma was a very special project for us, and today we can say that we chose the right company to make it happen.

We want to highlight the excellent work of Tres4Cinco, who built our house with the wood frame system, kept to the agreed timelines and showed seriousness, responsibility and commitment at every stage of the build.

When you take on a project this important, you look for peace of mind, trust and the certainty of being in good hands. Our experience with them was very positive, and we are happy to have made our dream real just as we imagined it.

Thank you to the whole team for their work, for keeping to what was agreed and for helping us find our place in the world, in our beloved La Paloma.

We recommend them wholeheartedly and with complete confidence to anyone thinking of building. Thank you, Tres4Cinco, for being part of this dream come true!

Ilka · La Paloma

Hello, I'm Ilka and I have a beautiful house, just to my taste, in La Paloma, built by the company Tres4Cinco. I'm very grateful and happy, because it was hard for me to decide to hand over the project of my home, and yet I did it and everything went very well. I'd like to say that they work systematically, without improvising, everything runs like a well-oiled machine and one stage leads into or follows another without a single stumble. It is real teamwork, you can feel a good atmosphere and every single person gives their best so that everything turns out exactly as it was ordered, in this case by me and to my taste. Everyone is serious and relaxed at the same time, which gives you a lot of confidence that everything will turn out well. When I say everyone, I mean the whole team, including Ramiro and Carlos, who are responsible for the results and the visible face of the company, and who, besides organising the schedule, supplying the materials, arranging meetings to find out what we clients want, and so on and so forth, roll up their sleeves and work on site when it is needed. Honestly, everything was impeccable, on time and very well done. Thank you!

Torben · La Serena

Casa Azul · La Paloma

Working with TresCuatroCinco is highly recommended! Every project comes with a lot of stress, and here it was handled with professionalism and commitment. I would do it again without a doubt. The quick replies, the immediate solutions and the honest willingness make this team a benchmark in the area! Congratulations, guys, on a great job!
