What is the price per square meter?

The pricing of prefabricated houses is a complex process and does not solely depend on the total area of the home. Instead, it's more intricately determined by a detailed cost sheet, which breaks down the various elements contributing to the final price. This cost sheet itemizes the amounts of materials used and multiplies them by their respective unit prices. The unit prices, in turn, are influenced by the specific types of materials chosen to be installed in the house.

The architectural design of the house plays a significant role in the overall cost. A more complex or intricate design might require specialized materials or unique construction techniques that could raise the price. Similarly, the types of materials selected—whether premium-grade, eco-friendly, or basic—can substantially influence the final price tag. Numerous elements can influence the cost. Hence, we provide free personalized price calculations for each project's specific needs.

What is the timeframe necessary to construct a prefab home?

After signing the contract with the customer, the cooperation on workshop drawings typically takes less than a month to finalize. Once these drawings are approved and signed off, production generally spans between 60 to 80 days. Following this production phase, there's the added shipping duration to the construction site.

For a prefab building approximately 150 m² in size and built to a high Rohbau standard, the assembly duration is estimated between 25 to 30 days. Notably, the core assembly — which encompasses the erection of walls, setting up intermediate floor structures, and installing roof panels — is accomplished in less than four days. However, it's important to note that the exact timeframe can fluctuate based on the intricacy and specific design of the house. Additionally, weather conditions and the location of the construction site can also influence the overall timeframe.

What is the typical journey for acquiring a prefabricated building?

Krivaja path to prefab

Can you do turnkey project?

No, generally, we do not undertake turnkey projects. While we have completed some in the past and may consider them again in the future, our primary focus is on prefab construction, engineered wood, and joinery. We believe in specializing in our areas of expertise and prefer to leave final furnishings and similar tasks to those who specialize in that field. This approach allows us to maintain high standards in the services we excel at.

Do you undertake building projects in [specific country]?

Probably! We enjoy traveling and in the past decade, we've worked in over 30 countries. However, it's important to remember that each country has its own regulations and specific requirements. While we'd love to give a definitive 'yes', the reality is a bit more complex. We encourage you to contact us, and we'll do our utmost to accommodate your needs.

Let’s embark on the journey to create a space that reflects your unique style and needs.
