1. Obtaining a construction permit

To begin building a house, it is necessary to prepare documents such as an urban planning certificate, a building permit containing approvals and agreements from the water and sewer, environment, etc., as well as a geotechnical study based on which the foundation is executed.

2. Realization of the technical project

The design of the house is carried out with special, professional programs that check and issue reports on the structure's resistance to wind loads, snow, dynamic loads, loads in the event of natural disasters and deformation in the event of earthquakes.

3. Foundation execution

The foundation will be executed by the beneficiary or by a MEXI ® partner , according to the technical plan issued by the MEXI ® Houses company . Being houses with a light metal structure, the weight of the house is lower and does not require a very large and deep foundation.

4. Structure assembly and exterior cladding

When the foundation is dry, the construction of the house can begin. The structure of the house is formed by the assembly of C and U profiles, which are made of superior steel. The construction phase presented is carried out approximately between one and three weeks. On the exterior and roof of the house, special boards that are water and fire resistant will be installed.

5. Placing the roof covering

After installing the tiles, an anti-condensation foil will be placed on the roof, over which the tile support rails will be placed. The tiles will be lined up and all their accessories will be installed at the same time.

6. Performing interior and exterior insulation

The interior insulation can be done with high-density basalt wool or polyurethane foam. Thanks to the metal structure, which is made of 140 mm wide profiles, you can easily insert a 100 mm wool. For exterior insulation, we recommend using 100 mm expanded polystyrene, which can be easily applied to the boards mounted on the exterior. To insulate the floor, 50 mm extruded polystyrene is laid down, over which a semi-dry screed is poured. This method is also ideal for masking electrical cables and plumbing pipes. By performing the insulation in this way, you will obtain a very well-insulated house without thermal bridges or heat loss.

7. Drawing and installation of electrical and sanitary installations

After the insulation is done, the electrical cables and pipes for the sanitary installations are inserted inside the walls. The walls of the house are made of 140 mm profiles, in addition to the 100 mm mineral wool, there is enough space to insert the electrical cables and the pipes for the sanitary installations without affecting the insulation of the house.

8. Drawing and installation of electrical and sanitary installations

Inside the house, an aluminized anti-condensation foil is placed over the resistance profiles, over which two layers of plasterboard are mounted. These plasterboard sheets will be plastered and painted, in the bathrooms tiles can be applied, giving the house a special design. On the outside of the house, a filler mass reinforced with fiberglass mesh is applied over the polystyrene. Over this filler mass, decorative plaster can be applied or clinker bricks or other ornamental elements can be glued, giving the house personality.
