Learn more about the expertise Horizonte Construções brings to your project:
Custom Residential Building
This is the core of what we do – bringing your unique architectural vision from concept to a tangible, high-quality home. We manage every phase, ensuring craftsmanship, material quality, and adherence to local building codes in Curitiba. Our focus is on creating a home that perfectly matches your lifestyle, needs, and aesthetic preferences, built with durability and precision.
Architectural Design Coordination
We act as the vital link between you, your architect, and the construction process. Our expertise ensures that the design plans are not only aesthetically pleasing but also structurally sound, feasible to build within budget, and optimized for the specific site conditions in Curitiba. We help translate the design vision into practical building instructions.
Project Management
Our project management services oversee the entire construction timeline, budget, resources, and communication. We coordinate subcontractors, handle logistics, manage permits, and keep you informed every step of the way. Our meticulous approach minimizes delays and unexpected costs, ensuring your project stays on track and within scope.
Site Preparation
Before building begins, proper site preparation is crucial. This includes clearing the land, grading, excavation, and ensuring adequate drainage – especially important given Curitiba's climate. We conduct thorough site analysis and preparation to create a stable and suitable foundation for your home, mitigating potential future issues.
Foundation Work
The foundation is the backbone of your home's structural integrity. We specialize in various foundation types suited for different soil conditions found in Curitiba, employing precise engineering and high-quality materials. Our expert team ensures your foundation is robust, level, and built to last, providing a secure base for decades to come.
Structural Building
This phase involves erecting the framework of your home – the walls, floors, and roof structure. Our skilled builders use high-quality materials and proven techniques to ensure the structural integrity and safety of your property. We focus on precision framing and construction that meets or exceeds all relevant building codes.
Finishing Work
Finishing work brings your home towards completion, including installing windows and doors, applying exterior cladding, roofing, and initial interior wall preparation. This stage focuses on sealing the structure and preparing it for the interior detailing, ensuring the home is weather-tight and secure.
Interior Detailing
This is where the interior spaces come to life. We handle all aspects of interior finishing, including drywall installation, painting, flooring, tile work, installation of fixtures, cabinetry, and detailed trim work. Our team works meticulously to achieve the high-quality finish that defines a custom-built home.
Landscape Integration
Integrating your home with its surrounding landscape is key to creating a harmonious property. We coordinate with landscape designers or manage the basic integration, ensuring proper water runoff away from the foundation, planning for exterior walkways, patios, and preparing the ground for planting. This ensures your home looks beautiful from every angle.
The Horizonte Construction Process: Step-by-Step Guide
Building a home involves many distinct stages, each critical to the final outcome. We've simplified our process into clear, manageable steps so you know exactly what to expect from the initial conversation about your ideas to the exciting moment we hand over the keys. Understanding this process empowers you as the homeowner and partner.
Initial Consultation & Visioning
It all begins with understanding your dream. We meet with you to discuss your vision, lifestyle needs, budget, and the potential building site in Curitiba. This initial phase is about open dialogue, exploring possibilities, and laying the groundwork for a project that truly reflects your aspirations.
Design & Planning Collaboration
Working closely with your chosen architect (or connecting you with one), we refine the architectural plans. Our role here is crucial for ensuring the design is not only beautiful but also practical, buildable, and cost-effective. We review blueprints, select materials, and finalize specifications, obtaining all necessary approvals and permits for construction in Curitiba.
Site Preparation & Foundations
With plans approved, we prepare the building site. This involves clearing, grading, excavation, and installing initial drainage systems to manage water effectively, vital in Curitiba's climate. The critical foundation work then begins, laying the solid base that will support your entire home with structural integrity.
Structure & Framing
This phase sees the home take shape as the main structural elements are erected. We build the framework using high-quality materials, creating the skeleton of your walls, floors, and roof. Precision framing ensures the building is strong, plumb, and level, ready for the subsequent stages.
Enclosing & Utilities
Once the structure is complete, the home is enclosed. This involves installing exterior walls, windows, doors, and the roof covering. Simultaneously, the rough-ins for plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems are installed within the walls and ceilings before they are sealed.
Interior & Exterior Finishing
Now, the detailed work begins. Interior finishing includes insulation, drywall, painting, flooring, tile installation, cabinetry, and trim work. Exterior finishing involves applying facade materials, final roofing touches, and completing outdoor elements like patios or walkways. This stage adds personality and polish.
Final Walkthrough & Handover
As construction concludes, we conduct a thorough final inspection and a walkthrough with you. We address any final details, ensure everything meets your expectations and our high standards, and explain the features of your new home. Finally, we celebrate the completion of your project and hand over the keys to your beautiful custom home in Curitiba.
