“In Catalonia alone, more than 15 families consult us every day about their prefabricated single-family house construction projects”.

We recommend that before purchasing the plot or land we carry out a Geotechnical and Topographical Study, this will avoid surprises in the calculation of Earthworks and Foundations.
