The design process.

Project phases

The building process consists of five phases as described below.

After the construction phase is finalised, the project is completed. This project completion does not necessarily mean that the entire building(s) of the client are finalised since some remaining activities can be contracted or finished outside of the contracted activities carried out by Easy Housing.

01. Permit design phase

The permit design includes the floorplans, elevations, sections, site plans and foundation plans that are handed to the municipality.

Duration: 2-4 weeks

02. Technical design phase

After approval, Easy Housing will work out the technical design of the project. This includes the technical details, bill of quantities with a material passport (circular economy), shop drawings and instructions.

Duration: 2-4 weeks

03. Procurement phase

After the technical design is finished, the materials for the construction phase can be ordered from the relevant supply chain partners.

Duration: 4-5 weeks

04. Prefabrication phase

The timber frames for the building(s) are prefabricated at a carpentry workshop that is contracted and trained by Easy Housing. A project manager of Easy Housing ensures that the working drawings and technical details are built properly and makes sure the quality, logistics and planning are properly managed.

Duration: 2-4 weeks

05. On-site finishing

Once the frames have been prefabricated, they are transported to their final destination. The construction team has beforehand set out the site and the foundation points. The placement of the frames usually takes place in a few days. After placing the building(s), the final steps of the construction process can commence. For example, applying roofing, paintworks, sanitation, electricity and so on.

Duration: 2-4 weeks
