• Insulation: Install insulation between the steel studs to regulate temperature and enhance energy efficiency.

5. Windows and Doors:

• Cut openings for windows and doors in the steel frames.
• Install window and door frames, ensuring they are properly sealed and anchored securely.

6. Utilities Installation:

• Run electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems through the steel frame prefabricated house, ensuring proper wiring and pipe installation.

How is the work of Building a new house in Maldives?

1. Research and Regulations:

• Local Regulations: Understand the local building codes and regulations in the Maldives. Regulations regarding construction, land use, and environmental impact assessments may vary between different islands and atolls.
• Permits: Obtain all necessary permits and approvals from local authorities. This might involve submitting detailed plans and getting environmental clearances.

2. Choose a Prefab Design:

• Choose Your House Plan: You can send your custom house plan or we can draw floor plans for you. You can choose colors/patterns and other details by your request.

3. Site Preparation:

• Land Survey: Conduct a land survey to understand the topography and any specific requirements for your chosen prefab design.
• Utilities: Ensure access to utilities such as water, electricity, and sewage. Prefab homes can be designed to be self-sufficient, but you need to plan for these utilities during the site preparation phase.

4. Foundation and Infrastructure:

• Foundation: Depending on the site conditions, your prefab home might require a specific type of foundation. Consult with a local engineer to determine the suitable foundation type for your location.
• Infrastructure: Plan for the necessary infrastructure, such as septic systems, wells, or renewable energy sources if you want your prefab home to be off-grid.
