Delivering a multi-unit residential building is a complex construction and organisational task. Because of the larger scale, the greater number of trades, the repeating apartment units and the shared common areas, construction requires careful preparation, consistent technical coordination and well-organised work processes.
B2 Házak undertakes the general contracting of multi-unit residential buildings, from structural work through to completing the whole property.
Our references include several residential buildings with 10–50 apartments, giving us hands-on experience organising larger-scale, complex construction processes on multi-unit projects.
A multi-unit residential building involves numerous construction processes running in parallel. Alongside the load-bearing structures, masonry, facades and roofs, the building services and electrical systems, the interior fit-out of the units, the common areas and the external works all need to be coordinated too.
As general contractor, our task is to ensure these work phases take place as part of one unified construction process, in the right order and technically coordinated with one another.
During the project we pay particular attention to:
The exact scope of construction for a multi-unit building always depends on that project’s plans and agreed scope of work.
General contracting can include, among others, the following work phases:
Alongside full general contracting, depending on the project we can also carry out specific construction phases or structural work only.
Building a residential property with 10–50 apartments takes more than simply carrying out each trade’s work correctly.
The project’s success fundamentally depends on:
This is why well-organised construction matters especially for multi-unit buildings. In a larger building, a single missed or delayed decision can affect several work processes at once.
One characteristic of multi-unit buildings is that many structural and trade details repeat throughout the building.
A technical decision made early on for identical apartment layouts, bathrooms, windows and doors, mechanical risers, facade junctions or balconies can end up repeating in many places throughout the building.
This is both an opportunity and a responsibility.
A well-designed and properly checked detail can be repeated efficiently, whereas a flawed solution multiplies across the building. That’s why we consider it essential to clarify critical details early and execute them consistently.
A multi-unit building isn’t simply several family houses placed side by side.
Alongside the apartments, the following also represent standalone construction tasks:
These have different technical and usage requirements from the apartments themselves, yet they remain part of the same unified building system.
For a larger residential building it’s especially important to have sufficiently detailed and well-coordinated design documentation in place before construction begins.
When preparing the proposal and construction, the following are therefore important:
The more precisely a project’s technical scope is defined, the more reliably we can plan the cost, schedule and resourcing of construction.
Our references include multi-unit residential buildings that clearly demonstrate the scale and complexity of our work in this field.
Our general contracting services also cover the delivery of other types of buildings.
If you’re looking for a general contractor for a multi-unit residential building, send us a short overview of the project and the available design documentation.
In our first consultation we’ll review the scale of the project, the desired scope of construction, and the options for moving forward.
