Your architect. Our construction expertise.

If you already work with an architect, KAGER joins as your technical, production and construction partner. We agree our scope around the design and current stage of your project.

Individual timber-and-glass home developed with an independent architect

Clear roles from design to construction.

Your architect leads the architectural design within the agreed scope. KAGER contributes expertise in structure, building envelopes, glazing, production, logistics and assembly.

We coordinate spans, connections, glazing and transport options during design development. This makes early collaboration important.


Information for the project review

Open-plan living space
Design documentation

Floor plans, sections, elevations, a site plan and a description of the project's current stage.


Plot information

Location, terrain, access, planning constraints and available specialist surveys and reports.


Architect contact

We define who coordinates the project, approves changes and ensures the original architectural concept is preserved.


KAGER's desired scope

Design, structure, building envelope, glazing, production, assembly and any finishing work.


Technical requirements

Known requirements for energy performance, fire safety, acoustics, building services, materials and exposed surfaces.


Time and investment

Budget, preferred dates and priorities for further planning.


From an architect's design to a completed home

01
Documentation handover

We receive the current design, supporting documents and a list of open questions.

02
Specialist review

We review the structure, building envelope, glazing, transport, assembly and connections between parts of the house.

03
Agreement on roles and scope

We record design authorship, design responsibilities, KAGER's scope and the process for approving changes.

04
Technical design development

With your architect, we coordinate how the proposed solutions affect the architecture, required evidence, production and construction.

05
Proposal and contract

We define inclusions, exclusions, open items, deadlines and the financial implications of changes.

06
Detailed design

We finalise details, openings, materials and the documentation needed to manufacture the elements.

07
Site preparation and production

We coordinate foundations, access, the construction crane, utility connections, transport and the component production sequence.

08
Assembly, inspection and handover

We assemble the elements, review the agreed scope and hand over the documentation for use.

Terrace

An early feasibility review.

Spans, building envelope specifications, glazing, connections and component transport can affect the design. We review these requirements before the design solutions are finalised.

The architect, client and KAGER can then coordinate solutions using the same information.


What we review before construction

Structural feasibility

Spans, load-bearing directions, openings, cantilevers and points of concentrated loads.


Building envelope and building physics

Heat, moisture, airtightness, sound, fire and the durability of critical connections.


Glazing and visible details

Load-bearing capacity, shading, sealing, tolerances, protection and maintenance.


Transport and assembly

Element dimensions, access, crane requirements, sequence and temporary stability.


Building services coordination

Openings, service routes, connections and the division of tasks between designers and contractors.


Scope and responsibilities

Who designs, supplies, builds, inspects and approves each part.
