Understand the architectural, structural, and logistical variables that shape your final quote: clear spans, seismic zones, thermal insulation specs, window ratings, and delivery logistics.
How clear spans, seismic zones, thermal insulation standards, and glazing choices shape your final manufacturing and assembly quote.
Rectangular floor plans with standard 4m to 6m spans require less steel tonnage per m². Dramatic designs with 10m+ open-concept living rooms, cantilevered balconies, or double-height voids require heavier steel gauges (1.5mm–2.0mm), increasing steel frame costs by 10% to 20%.
A villa built in the high Swiss Alps (snow load ≥ 3.5 kN/m²) or an exposed Greek island cliff (wind speed 250 km/h) requires tighter stud spacing (400mm vs 600mm) and heavy-duty hold-down brackets compared to a sheltered Mediterranean valley.
Upgrading exterior ETICS insulation from 50mm EPS to 100mm high-density rockwool and selecting triple-glazed aluminum-clad Passivhaus windows adds approximately €40–€80/m² to the shell cost, but reduces lifetime heating/cooling bills by up to 60%.

Keep exterior footprints relatively compact (square or rectangular), align second-floor load-bearing walls directly over ground-floor walls, and limit unsupported ceiling spans to 6 meters. Our engineering team provides free structural optimization suggestions during preliminary CAD review.
Standard spans up to 6 meters are highly economical. Uninterrupted living room spans of 8 to 10+ meters or cantilevered terraces require thicker steel gauges (1.50mm–2.00mm) or hybrid hot-rolled steel beams, adding approximately 8% to 15% to the structural package cost.
Yes. High alpine zones with snow loads ≥ 3.0 kN/m² require closer truss centers (400mm vs 600mm) and heavier gauge steel. Coastal plots require heavier Z275+ galvanizing and marine-grade fixings, which slightly adjust the base kit pricing.
