Homestead | Eco  is a holistic eco-system that includes modular (tiny) homes, solar energy- / hot water preparation equipment and high-grade certified biological waste water treatment plants. In addition to that, we also design modern irrigation systems and can do landscaping around your new house.

The quoted price is a mere estimate and refers to a single fully finished Astra tiny house having approx. 20 m2 of the living space and a 30 m2 large terrace. The house is equipped with a standard kitchen with some basic kitchen appliances, shower / WC equipment and pipelines, an optimal thermal insulation for a comfortable living and working all year around, and active ventilation system. 

Air conditioner, smart home-compatible features, external LED lights, waste water treatment plant, solar water heater, and a solar energy system are not included and are subject to additional costs.

At Homestead | Eco we stick to the following well-established project management approach:

1. Step 1: initial contact and advice. Client contacts Homestead | Eco team and tells about his / her vision and wishes (WhatsApp, phone call). Our team offers you a comprehensive initial consultation including an initial project cost estimate.
2. Step 2: plot of land assessment and planning. Our engineers and architects evaluate the local conditions, including municipal requirements pertaining to the plot pf land in question, and determine a floor plan and a provisional list of materials accordingly.
3. Step 3: price update and a payment schedule. Preparation of a binding offer and agreement of a payment schedule.
4. Step 4: project documentation and a construction license. The required project documentation along with all necessary supplementary documents is submitted to the competent authorities for an approval and an eventual receipt of a construction license. 
5. Step 5: Start and completion of the construction project. Scheduling of the start date of construction works, subsequent execution of the construction work, and a final commissioning of the project by the relevant authorities.

We carefully select each and every construction material so that all our homes are of exceptional quality and as a result have very low maintenance costs. During the years we have realized that using industry's best quality construction materials is always the best choice, for the following reasons:

• Substantially longer no maintenance periods of our built homes when compared to "mainstream" budget options sold at majority of construction materials shops 
• Significantly improved thermal insulation when compared to no or some insulation of dubious quality. Proper thermal insulation increases your home's thermal efficiency, which translates directly into a higher living comfort all year around
• Quality materials and tools allow for delivering immaculate quality esthetically pleasing work faster ensuring that labor costs can be reduced

The average delivery time for the Astra tiny house is 5 months. This number may vary depending on the surface area of a house, materials used, and equipment supplied. Upon a confirmation every project is going to have a provisional delivery time defined in a contract.

It depends. However, it is certain that a well-designed, properly insulated, and equipped with a modern active ventilation tiny house with a 30m2 large terrace can provide for high living comfort for a couple or even a family with a child.
