We build private houses, guest properties and small apart-buildings in Bobokvati: design, permit, foundation, structure, engineering and finishing. Thirty-five minutes from our base in Batumi.
Foundation and plinth decide how long it lasts
Development here sits close to the water and the water table is high, so geology comes before the sketch: it determines whether a slab or piles are needed, how deep, and how the drainage around the house is arranged. Money saved on the survey comes back as damp walls within two years, and by then the fix means excavating around a finished building.
Salt from the first day
External structures, fixings, railings and the framework for glazing are specified for a marine climate from the start. On the first line ordinary galvanised fittings corrode at the fixing points within a few seasons, and reaching them later means removing cladding or opening finishes. It costs very little at specification stage.
Designing for a property that stands empty
Most buildings here are used seasonally, so the design has to account for six months of closure in high humidity: a ventilated roof build-up, fresh air intake that works without anyone present, and finishes that tolerate a cold, damp winter indoors. This is planned at design stage rather than solved by a dehumidifier later.
Documents, timing and warranty
Design, permit, commissioning and the registry entry are on us. Design and permit one to three months, then seven to nine months of works. A seasonal property should be finished in April. Five-year warranty on the structure.
