BUILDING PROCESS
A clear path from site selection to move-in
A streamlined, architect‑led process
At evoDOMUS, every home is a one‑off architectural project delivered through a predictable, industrialized building system. Our process is designed to give you clarity at each stage, from the first sketch to move‑in.
1. Discovery, Site & Feasibility
We begin with a detailed conversation about your site, lifestyle, aesthetic preferences, budget, and timing.
You share any existing surveys, zoning information, or planning constraints you may already have.
We review topography, orientation, views, and access so we understand how the house should sit on the land.
At this stage we provide a realistic discussion of budget ranges, energy‑performance ambitions (up to net zero), and whether evoDOMUS is the right fit for your project.
The goal is to confirm that your site, expectations, and our design and construction method are aligned before we proceed.
2. Concept Design & Hand Sketch
Once we agree on a basic brief and feasibility, our architects translate your requirements into initial layouts and sketches.
We start with hand drawings and simple 3D studies to explore light, views, movement through the house, and how indoor and outdoor spaces connect.
Multiple variations may be tested so you can compare options rather than react to a single solution.
We look at practical matters—entry sequence, storage, privacy, noise separation—alongside the expressive qualities of the architecture.
By the end of this phase, you see not just floor plans, but a clear architectural direction tailored to your site.
3. Developed Design & Performance Engineering
With a preferred concept chosen, we develop it into a fully resolved design.
Floor plans, elevations, and sections are refined in detail using BIM tools, coordinating structure, mechanical systems, and window placement.
We define the performance targets for your building envelope, including wall and roof assemblies, window specifications, shading, and ventilation strategy.
You are involved in selecting key materials—flooring, exterior cladding, kitchen and bathroom finishes—within a curated palette that suits the architecture.
We coordinate with local consultants as needed (surveyors, structural engineers, energy modelers, and code officials) so the design is compliant as well as beautiful.
This stage ends with a coherent, buildable design that balances aesthetics, comfort, and energy performance.
4. Detailed Documentation & Costing
Before anything is built, we translate the design into the precise documentation our manufacturing partners and site contractors will use.
We prepare detailed drawings and specifications for our modular system, including exact dimensions, connection details, and material layers.
Our factory and construction partners provide cost feedback so we can align the design with your budget before fabrication begins.
During this stage, the Fit-Out, we invite you to spend two to three full days with us at our Cleveland office to refine the elements that will define the character of your home. Together, we review materials, finishes, colors, kitchen layout, electrical planning, and plumbing fixtures, using our extensive in‑house sample collection as a starting point while remaining open to additional products that better match your vision.
If adjustments are needed—scope, finishes, or technical solutions—we make them here, where changes are still efficient and controlled.
You receive a clear understanding of what is included, what it costs, and how the project will be delivered.
5. Off‑Site Fabrication in a Controlled Environment
Your home is built in sections in a modern production facility rather than exposed to weather on site.
Structural panels or modules are assembled under consistent conditions, improving precision and quality control.
High‑performance components such as triple‑glazed windows, advanced insulation, and airtightness measures are installed as part of the factory process.
This method reduces waste, limits construction disturbance on your site, and significantly shortens the overall build time compared with conventional building.
By the time elements leave the factory, much of the complexity and risk has already been resolved.
6. Delivery, Assembly & On‑Site Completion
Once fabrication is complete, the building components are transported to your site on a carefully planned schedule.
A crane and our experienced set crew place the modules onto prepared foundations, typically assembling the main structure in a couple days rather than months.
The building is quickly made weather‑tight, protecting the interior from the elements and allowing interior trades to work efficiently.
Local contractors complete the remaining on‑site work—services connections, interior finishes, exterior landscaping—under our guidance and quality expectations.
We remain involved throughout this phase, coordinating with your local team to ensure that the finished home matches the design you approved.
7. Handover, Fine‑Tuning & Long‑Term Comfort
After the set and after construction is complete, we walk through the home with you and your local contractor to ensure everything functions as intended.
Key systems such as ventilation, heating/cooling, and smart‑home features are explained so you know how to operate the house comfortably and efficiently.
We review documentation and warranties for major components and provide guidance on caring for a high‑performance building.
If you wish, we can monitor performance data and help fine‑tune settings in the first period of occupancy so the house lives up to its energy and comfort ambitions.
The result is not just a finished building, but a home that performs as designed—architecturally, technically, and in daily life.
