In this easy guide, we will walk you through the steps of the construction process in Greece, providing you with a solid foundation of knowledge. From soil remediation to landscaping, each stage plays a crucial role in bringing your dream home to life. Let’s dive into the basics and explore the step-by-step process of building a home on Corfu.

Step 1: Soil Remediation Configuration:
Before construction begins, it is vital to assess and remediate the soil to ensure stability and proper building foundation. This is a very important step because it will set the stage for a solid foundation for your home.

Step 2: Foundation Beams and Bases:
With the soil prepared, the next step involves constructing foundation beams and bases. These elements provide structural support for the entire building. It typically includes excavating trenches, reinforcing with steel bars, and pouring concrete to create a stable and robust foundation that can withstand the test of time.

Step 3: Construction of Frame with Insulation:
Once the foundation is in place, the construction of the frame begins. This involves erecting the structural framework of the house, including walls, floors, and roof trusses. Additionally, insulation is integrated into the frame to enhance energy efficiency.

Step 4: Brick or Stone Walls Inside and Out:
The next step involves the construction of brick or stone walls, both internally and externally. These walls provide structural integrity, insulation, and aesthetic appeal. Skilled craftsmen work diligently to lay bricks or stones in a precise and secure manner, creating sturdy walls that define the spaces within your home.

Step 5: Intermediate Wall Insulation:
To further enhance thermal and acoustic insulation, intermediate wall insulation is installed. This insulation helps regulate temperature, reduce noise transmission, and increase energy efficiency.

Step 6: Roof Insulation/Construction:
The roof plays a vital role in protecting your home from the elements. Proper insulation and construction are crucial for energy efficiency and durability.

Step 7: Electrical System Installation:
The installation of the electrical system is a critical step in the construction process. Certified electricians design and install wiring, outlets, switches, and electrical panels, ensuring compliance with safety standards. This step involves careful planning and coordination to meet your specific electrical needs while prioritizing safety and functionality.

Step 8: Plumbing System Installation:
Creating a reliable and efficient plumbing system is essential for your home’s comfort and functionality. During this stage, licensed plumbers install pipes, fixtures, and fittings, including water supply lines, drainage systems, sinks, toilets, showers, and more. Attention to detail and adherence to plumbing codes guarantee a seamless and properly functioning plumbing system.

Step 9: Coatings Inside and Outside:
Coatings, such as plaster or drywall, are applied to both the interior and exterior walls. These coatings provide a smooth finish, ready for painting or further decorative treatments. Skilled craftsmen meticulously prepare the surfaces, apply the coatings, and ensure a flawless appearance in line with your design preferences.
