the full story
1. plan and design
Everything starts with knowing what you want and what is possible. Which wall can go, where does the bathroom go, how much light do you want in the kitchen. A good plan prevents discussion on site.
2. quote and schedule
With a worked-out plan a complete quote can be made, together with a schedule that shows per phase what happens when.
3. strip-out
Stripping back to what stays. This is also the moment surprises appear, such as rotten joists or old pipes. That is why a good inspection in advance matters so much.
4. structure
Walls out, steel beams in, strengthening floors, making openings, masonry. Everything that carries the house happens before anything else.
5. services
Electrics, water, drainage, heating and ventilation are installed while walls and floors are still open. What is right now does not have to be opened later.
6. closing up, plastering and tiling
Walls and ceilings are closed and plastered, bathroom and toilet are waterproofed and tiled.
7. carpentry, floors and painting
Cabinets, doors, stairs, skirting and floors go in. Painting comes last, so it is not damaged by other work.
8. handover
Through the house together, point by point. Whatever is not right yet is put right. At Freiwerk these steps are called getting acquainted, inspection, plan and quote, preparation, building and handover.
