Customer stories

Our production takes place in two factories that we own ourselves. We have a Swedish factory in Borlänge and a factory that has been in operation since our start and is located in Lithuania. This means that we have full insight into our production chain, which is controlled by a self-inspection program to ensure quality at all stages of production. All our houses are built according to Swedish building standards and regulations, so you can feel confident that your house is of a high standard. Our factories employ around 120 people and have a production capacity of 25-30 houses each month.

For a building notification, the municipality is required by law to give a decision within 4 weeks of all documents being complete. Often, just ordering the new building map from the municipality can take up to 4 weeks. We usually recommend that you allow about 8-12 weeks from the start of the notification. For building permits, the lead times are longer and the municipality has up to 10 weeks to return with a decision or supplement. It can vary greatly in how long a start notice for a building permit takes to get, all depends on the complexity of the case and how quickly or slowly your particular municipality processes its cases.

Depending on the house you choose, the delivery times for our turnkey houses vary. Below you can see the average delivery time for our turnkey house models: - Detached house: approx. 10-14 weeks. - Accessory buildings: approx. 16-24 weeks. - Holiday homes: approx. 16-26 weeks. As the delivery requires complex coordination between several different contractors, freight companies and crane companies, we cannot guarantee an exact delivery date until close to the time of delivery. At the start of production, we develop a preliminary delivery week and as the delivery date approaches, we can provide more detailed information on which week and day the delivery is expected to take place. If changes are made to our standard house models, if you order a customized house or if extra options are added, the delivery time may be longer than for our standard models. We do our best to keep delivery times as short as possible, but there may be factors beyond our control that affect delivery times. For example, there may be delays with our subcontractors or problems with the shipping companies. We understand that not having an exact delivery date in advance can be frustrating, but we always aim to be as transparent as possible and keep our customers updated on any changes or delays that may occur during the delivery process.

With our payment plan, you can feel safe and secure throughout the purchase process. We have structured the payment in four parts to give you flexibility and make it easier for you as a customer. First, you pay a down payment 10 days after signing the contract. This gives you time to familiarize yourself with your purchase and make sure you've made the right choice. Once the municipality has approved your application for start-up, and the production of your house is planned, 50% of the purchase price is paid before the start of production. This is an important step and marks that everything is on the right track and that your house is on its way to becoming reality. By the day of delivery, 45% of the total purchase price should be paid to us. To avoid possible late payment interest and additional costs due to late payment, we recommend that you pay the delivery invoice a few days before delivery. Finally, after the approved final inspection and before you take over the house, you pay the last 5% of the purchase price. This is the last part of the payment and marks that you are officially the owner of your new home.

We often find solutions to deliver our houses, even to hard-to-reach places. Delivery constraints can arise in cases where there are hard-to-reach locations for mobile cranes and transportation. Most often, this is when the roads become very narrow, the curves become very sharp and sometimes there is no accessible route to the site at all. You may need to adapt the delivery method or construction method, then we build in prefabricated elements instead of in modules, as prefabricated building elements can be delivered with narrower trucks. But you may also need to do additional ground preparation than what is included in our packages, so that we can deliver the house. This is carefully reviewed with your project manager and site visits are made if necessary. We have extensive experience of delivering houses to all sorts of places in Sweden and outside Sweden. Over the years, we have been tested in several varying challenges where most things have been solved, we would rather see solutions than limitations. Do not hesitate to ask us if you are in doubt about your project, we solve most things.

All our houses include electric radiators. If you want more comfort heating/cooling, you should choose an air source heat pump. If you are building a holiday home and intend to use it for permanent living or living more than 4 months in a year, the energy requirements are different. Then you need to choose an exhaust air heat pump with waterborne radiators or waterborne floor heating.

The house can only be occupied once you have received a final notice from the municipality. This normally takes up to 4 weeks after the house has been delivered, the final inspection has been carried out and all papers have been submitted to the municipality. If the municipality has required an inspection officer, the final notification is handled by this person, otherwise by the responsible project manager.
