A well-planned building process:
8 steps from concept to keys
Building a home should not involve delayed deadlines, unforeseen costs mid-process, or compromises in construction quality.
We are here to act as your partner, taking full responsibility for the technical complexities and administrative procedures.
This allows you to focus on interior planning and the excitement of moving in, while we manage the intricacies of the build.
Below is our 8-step process, outlining exactly how we move from the initial consultation to the final handover of a fully certified home.
8 steps to protect your time and peace of mind
We do not believe in chances or a "figure it out as we go" approach in construction.
This 8-step system is the foundation of our professional culture - it keeps the process focused and costs under control.
This structured approach ensures that every detail aligns with the technical design and your expectations.
Here is a precise overview of how your new home actually comes to life.
Free consultation
1 week
Every successful project begins with a thorough gathering of information, yet we do not expect you to navigate the complexities of construction bureaucracy alone.
During the first week, we work together to map out your wishes and budget, ensuring we identify the solution that best fits your needs.
Our experience allows us to foresee and avoid potential obstacles early on, ensuring your vision aligns with all current regulations and requirements.
In this way, we establish a solid foundation, providing the security needed to move forward into the design and construction phases.
Design adaptation and architectural concept
2-6 weeks
The architectural concept is the first and most critical phase of the design process, as it defines the direction for the entire project.
It provides you with a primary and clear overview of what the building will look like and how it will be positioned on your plot.
During this stage, we focus on three core pillars:
* Site-specific integration: We determine the building’s exact placement and suitability on the plot, taking into account solar orientation, views, and local planning restrictions.
* Functional space planning: We establish the room layout, dimensions, and functionality to ensure the home perfectly aligns with your lifestyle.
* Architectural identity: We define the architectural style and exterior appearance, ensuring it meets both your personal vision and the local regional architectural requirements.
Since the concept serves as the foundation for both the building permit application and the final construction quote, it is essential that it is professionally and thoroughly considered.
We do not rush this phase; we refine the solution until it is 100% right for you.
Design and regulatory approvals: from concept to building permit
2–8 months
(Depending on the destination country and local municipality regulations)
The design phase is an refinement of the initial sketch, where the vision is transformed into technically precise documentation.
This serves as the legal basis for applying for a building permit and enables the contractor to provide you with a binding quote.
Our comprehensive design package includes:
* Detailed architectural drawings: Floor plans, elevations, sections, and 3D visualizations for a complete spatial overview.
* Technical solutions: Descriptions of structural components, exterior finishes, and energy efficiency calculations (as per local regulations).
* Site planning: Planning of access roads, parking, and landscaping.
We take full responsibility for all communication with local authorities and manage the entire administrative process until the official building permit or notification is issued, ensuring a worry-free start to the construction phase.
Agreement and production scheduling
1-4 weeks
Once the building permit has been issued and technical details are confirmed, we proceed to the construction agreement.
This is the stage where plans become an official commitment, and your new home secures its place in our production schedule.
During this phase, we finalize:
* Final budget and payment schedule: We agree on clear financial frameworks that ensure project transparency and provide peace of mind for both parties.
* Precise delivery timeline: We confirm the period when the production of your home’s elements or modules begins, as well as the schedule for on-site installation.
* Selection of materials: We finalize all interior and exterior finish details so that necessary components can be ordered well in advance.
This step ensures the project stays on schedule and meets your exact expectations.
Foundation and element production
1-3 months
The primary advantage of modular and element houses is the speed of delivery, achieved through two parallel workstreams.
While your home is being built in a controlled factory environment, the foundation and utility connections are simultaneously prepared on your property.
The work is divided into two parts:
* Factory production: The house elements or modules are manufactured indoors, where timber structures remain permanently protected from adverse weather conditions.
The systematic factory workflow ensures the precision of wall elements and minimizes material waste.
This results in a structure of uncompromising quality that is difficult to achieve with traditional on-site construction.
* On-site works: We carry out the necessary excavation, establish utility connections, and build a foundation tailored to the specific house type.
This organized approach ensures that once the foundation is complete, the house is also ready for delivery.
Transport and installation
1-2 weeks
This is the stage where drawings transform into a physical structure.
Thanks to the extensive preparation completed at the factory, assembling the house on-site is a systematic and efficient process.
The installation process includes:
* Logistics: We organize the safe transport of house components to the site, strictly adhering to the agreed delivery schedule.
* Crane works and assembly: Our experienced team assembles the building shell in just a few days.
Element and modular houses are secured to the foundation, and the structure is made weather-tight.
* Structural inspection: Following assembly, we inspect all joints and fastenings to ensure full compliance with the technical design and energy efficiency requirements.
Exterior and interior works
1-2 kuud
Once the house is assembled, the finishing period begins, giving the building its final character both inside and out.
Since the most complex part of the construction process has already been completed in a controlled factory environment, we can focus on connecting utility systems and detailed interior finishing on-site.
During this phase, we perform:
* Exterior works: Final installation of roofing, facade finishing, and the construction of soffits and rainwater systems.
* Technical systems: Connection of electricity, water, and sewage, alongside the installation of heating and ventilation systems.
* Interior Finishing: We carry out all final finishing work according to your chosen style – from painting and tiling to the installation of flooring and moldings.
Our focus remains on quality and fine detail.
Quality control and handover
1-2 nädalat
For us, the work is only complete when our client is fully satisfied with the result.
Before the keys are handed over, we conduct a thorough final inspection and prepare all necessary documentation.
In this final stage:
* Thorough inspection: We review all technical systems and the quality of the interior finish.
To confirm the building’s thermal performance and overall construction quality, we use thermal imaging cameras to ensure every joint and connection is flawless.
* Applying for the occupancy permit: We handle the compilation and submission of all required as-built documentation to apply for the official occupancy permit. You won't have to deal with the construction register or bureaucracy - we manage the process to its conclusion.
* Key handover: The construction process is now officially complete, leaving you free to focus entirely on furnishing and enjoying your new home.
