Foundations
FoundationsModern Technology and Materials
When building a single-family home, choosing the right type of foundation is a crucial first step. In Croatia, the two most common foundation systems are strip foundations and slab foundations.
Strip foundations are the traditional choice and are especially common along the coast, where rocky soil provides ideal conditions for this type of structure. They are typically more cost-effective and straightforward to construct.
Slab foundations, on the other hand, represent a more modern and energy-efficient solution. While usually more expensive to build than strip foundations, the final cost depends on factors such as soil conditions and the structural demands of the house.
The main advantage of slab foundations lies in their ability to completely separate the home from the ground. In inland Croatia, where the average ground temperature is around 12°C, this separation helps maintain a warmer indoor environment and significantly reduces energy loss. To achieve this, a continuous layer of thermal insulation is placed between the foundation and the ground, preventing heat from escaping and cold from seeping in.
Strip Foundations: Building Your Home from the Ground Up
We precisely excavate trenches, install robust steel reinforcement, then pour and carefully cure high-quality concrete. This foundational method creates an incredibly strong and stable base, perfectly adapting to the diverse soil conditions found across the Croatian coast, ensuring the longevity of your beautiful new home.
Slab Foundations: Modern Performance for Your Croatian Home
We prepare and insulate the ground, install steel reinforcement, then pour and cure a continuous concrete slab. This advanced method creates a thermally superior, robust base, perfect for energy-efficient homes.
