How we build

Luxury liesin what you cannot see

A finish lasts only as long as the structure, insulation and services behind it. We show every layer — so you can compare proposals with criteria, and not just by price.

001 — Construction systems

There is no absolute best system. There is the one that suits the terrain, the schedule and the budget of each project — and that is the one we build with you.

Masonry and reinforced concrete

01

Masonry and reinforced concrete

The traditional Portuguese system, executed with rigour: reinforced concrete structure, brick masonry walls and continuous insulation.

When it makes sense
Suitable for detached houses and buildings where high thermal inertia and a consolidated solution are sought, with widely available labour.

LSF — Light Steel Frame

02

LSF — Light Steel Frame

Structure in galvanised light steel profiles, dry-assembled with millimetric precision and closed with boards with cavity insulation.

When it makes sense
Ideal for short deadlines, extensions and additional floors: it is lightweight, eliminates the need for formwork and drastically reduces construction time and waste.

Modular construction

03

Modular construction

Modules produced and finished in a factory, in a controlled environment, then transported and assembled on site — consistent quality and far shorter timelines.

When it makes sense
Suited to demanding deadlines, extensions and hard-to-reach sites, where building off-site cuts assembly time and on-site disruption.

002 — Inside the walls

The details onlyvisible on site

Underfloor heating

Underfloor heating

Hydraulic network embedded in the screed, distributed in a coil over insulation. It heats by radiation from the floor, with no visible radiators and with lower water temperatures.

Embedded technical networks

Embedded technical networks

Electricity, water and air conditioning chased into walls and mapped before the walls are closed, so that any future intervention does not require the demolition of finishes.

Plumbing installations

Plumbing installations

Wall-hung sanitary frames and piping in certified materials, with pressure testing before any covering.

Waterproofing

Waterproofing

Sheets and membranes applied to roofs, terraces and swimming pool shells, with reinforced detailing at singular points — the most common origin of pathologies.

Concrete swimming pools

Concrete swimming pools

Reinforced concrete shell cast in situ, waterproofed and custom-finished — without the shape limitations of prefabricated models.

Facade insulation

Facade insulation

ETICS system: continuous external thermal insulation, finished with render. It eliminates thermal bridges, protects the structure and cuts heating and cooling consumption.

Climate control

Climate control

Heat pump and efficient distribution for heating, cooling and hot water. Equipment sized to the home, with low consumption and quiet operation.

Home automation

Home automation

Integrated control of lighting, climate, blinds and security from a panel or your phone. Wiring prepared from the outset, to add functions without building work.

003 — One build, four phases

Earthworks
01

Earthworks

Excavation, slope retention and preparation of foundations.

Structure
02

Structure

Formwork, reinforcement and concreting of columns, beams and slabs.

Masonry and roofing
03

Masonry and roofing

Enclosure of the building envelope, insulation and waterproofing.

Finishes
04

Finishes

Plastering, flooring, joinery, sanitary ware and final painting.
