Stage 1 · Survey
Site, access and ground conditions.
What we build, in detail
Four trades under one contract, all quoted after a site visit.
Program 01 · Permit before ordering
New buildings
We build to the architect's approved plans and we do not start before the permit is granted — a project begun without one stops at the commune and the cost of that lands on the client. The programme is written down, including the sequence between trades, which is where most delays actually come from.
Stage 2 · Quote
Items, programme and exclusions.
Stage 3 · Permit
Confirmed before anything is ordered.
Stage 4 · Build
Trades sequenced, progress reported.
Stage 1 · Design
Circuits, loads and protection.
Stage 2 · Install
To the regulations in force.
Stage 3 · Inspection
By an approved body, arranged by us.
Stage 4 · Report
Handed over before commissioning.
Program 02 · Inspected, then commissioned
Electrical installation
Belgian law requires an approved inspection body to examine a new or substantially altered installation and find it compliant before it is energised for use. We book that inspection as part of the work and hand you the report. A contractor who skips it leaves you with an installation you cannot lawfully use and that an insurer may decline.
Program 03 · Gas by qualified installers
Plumbing, heating and air conditioning
Gas appliance installation requires an installer holding the proper qualification, and we do not improvise around that. On heating we size the system to the building rather than to habit, because an oversized boiler cycles badly and an undersized one never satisfies the rooms furthest from it.
Stage 1 · Sizing
To the building, not to a rule of thumb.
Stage 2 · Install
Sanitary, heating and ventilation.
Stage 3 · Gas
Only by a qualified installer.
Stage 4 · Commission
Balanced and documented.
Stage 1 · Substrate
Flatness and moisture measured.
Stage 2 · Wait if needed
Rather than covering wet screed.
Stage 3 · Movement joints
Where the run requires them.
Stage 4 · Finish
Snagged before handover.
Program 04 · Substrate decides it
Plastering, flooring and tiling
Tiles crack and floors fail because of what is underneath, not what is on top. Moisture content in a screed, movement joints in a long run, and a substrate that is flat enough — those decide whether a finish lasts. We check and wait rather than covering a screed that is still drying.
