Build journal

From plan to panels

Every entry below was first shared on our channels. The newest step comes first.

Week 3 on site

The champions behind the panels

This week in Watou, the first walls went up. And the best part is the team. Proud to build with people like this.

Assembly

Drawn first. Built as drawn.

We don't just engineer the house. We engineer how it gets built. The assembly table was drawn and simulated in advance. On site, the real turn of a wall element ran exactly as planned.

Day before assembly

Mise en place

Before the service, everything in its place. First deliveries in and stored. The site fenced, locked and covered. 4 of 4 certified for the crane and the aerial platform. Assembly began the next morning.

Panel deliveries stored and covered on the Watou building site
Site preparation

The plan changed ten times. Now it fits on one plot.

Site preparation for two homes on one plot, worked out step by step before a single element arrived.
