Production of steel construction in the KovoSmetana premises in Uherčice

General contractor

Industrial hall construction with our own teams and equipment

We do not subcontract production, surface treatment, assembly or earthworks. We manufacture the structure, build the foundations and assemble the hall ourselves.

Own production We manufacture and paint the structure on our premises.
Construction Division We build the foundations and concrete ourselves.
Assembly crews We assemble with our own people.
Machine park Cranes, excavators and platforms are ours.

Four capacities that are not subcontracted by us. That's the whole difference.

Hidden costs

Where money is lost when six companies are building the hall

01

Margin in each intermediate article

Each company in the row adds its own margin. For six suppliers, it adds up to an amount you won't see quantified anywhere.

02

Downtime at the work interface

The foundations are done, the construction not yet. The assembly crew has another job. Every transition between companies is a risk of waiting.

03

Coordination costs

Either you pay it to a project manager or you do it yourself. Both cost something — time or money.

04

Disputes about defects in the contact of professions

When something goes wrong, everyone points at the other. The solution is then paid by the investor, because no one will admit responsibility.

These are not hypothetical items. These are real costs that are included in the construction price — they just aren't visible in the offer.

Watch the word

Today, almost everyone calls themselves a general contractor

A number of companies that present themselves in this way actually subcontract steel, cladding and earthworks. They are business firms with a project manager — which is not a bad thing, but it's a different service at a different price.

The difference is crucial: the subcontractor model has the same intermediate elements as the multicontractor construction, only hidden in one offer.

Vendor test

How do you know who is actually building the hall

Ask us and the competition. The answers will tell you more than any presentation.

Own production of steel structures in the KovoSmetana complex in Uherčice
Own production

Own production in Uherčice

We do not buy steel construction. We produce it in our own production area — from dividing the material to surface treatment.

It means that we know every weld, we know what steel we used, and when there is a change in the project, we don't have to call the supplier and wait for their capacity.

Construction Division

Construction Division — foundations are not subcontracted

Most steel structure manufacturers stop at the structure and leave the foundation up to you. We have our own construction division, so we will build the hall from the excavation.

The foundations and construction are designed by one team. It cannot be that the feet do not fit the structure, because they were drawn by two different companies.

Earth and excavation works
Base feet, waists and plates
Pilot planting and soil replacement
Concrete structures
Paved surfaces and drainage
Pass-throughs for connections
Sewers, culverts
Assembly capacities

We assemble with our own people

The unknown crew we hired will not come to the construction site. They are installed by our people who made the hall or who know our procedures.

You don't wait on the waiting list of an external installation company and you don't get an appointment based on when someone else is free.

Own platoons

Our employees, not an external subcontractor.

The term according to us

We plan the installation according to your building, not according to the capacities of a third-party company.

Follow-up to production

We manufacture the structure in parallel with the foundations. As soon as they are ready, we assemble.

Machine park

We do not borrow equipment

Mobile cranes, platforms, cargo equipment and earthmoving machines are ours. We don't have to wait for the rental office and we don't add a rental surcharge.

For you

What does this mean for you?

One term You do not add up the dates of six companies. You have one schedule and one person responsible for it.
One responsibility When something goes wrong, there is no one to blame. We're handling it because we've been doing it all along.
One guarantee You don't have to find out if the manufacturer or the construction company solves the defect in the connection between the structure and the foundations.
Honestly

When we do not recommend general delivery

If you have your own construction company or a long-term earthworks partner, it makes no sense to pay us for what you can do yourself.

In that case, we will supply only the structure, only the assembly, or only the part you need. Tell us what you're insuring and we'll tailor the offer accordingly.

Turnkey implementation

Buildings where we delivered everything

From excavation to handover, without subcontractors for the main professions.

Documents

What do we have to back it up

For public contracts, we will supply qualification documents for the procurement procedure.
