From plot to keys in few weeks.

A concrete farmhouse takes a year or more, with a contractor to chase and a site to visit every weekend. Ours takes weeks, because most of the work happens in our yard before anything arrives on your land. Here is the whole process, with what we need from you at each step.

  1. Week 0 · free

    Site visit

    We come to your plot. We check slope, soil, sun path, wind, water source, power, road access and local rules, and we sketch a first layout standing on the land. You leave with a rough size, a rough cost and a clear next step. If the plot has a problem, we tell you then.

    From you: plot documents or a location pin, and an idea of how you will use the home.

  2. Week 1

    Design

    Our designer draws the floor plan and elevations for your plot and your family. Two rounds of revisions are included; a 3D view is available on request. We also give you a list of approvals your village or district needs.

    From you: feedback within a few days of each round.

  3. Week 2

    Quote and agreement

    You get an itemised quote, a payment schedule tied to milestones, and a fixed timeline. We sign a simple agreement that says what we build, when, and what it costs.

    From you: signature and the first milestone payment.

  4. Weeks 3–6

    Preparation

    Two things happen at once. In our yard, logs are cut to your plan, treated, numbered and stacked for transport. On your plot, our site team or your contractor builds the plinth, drainage and service connections.

  5. Weeks 6–10

    Assembly

    The logs arrive and the house goes up: skeleton structure, walls, roof structure, and then, the doors, windows and the deck.

  6. Weeks 10–14

    Finishing and handover

    Flooring, electrical, plumbing, interior and exterior coating. We walk through every room with you, fix anything on the list, and hand over the keys with a care guide and the warranty.
