Ready-to-finish
If you have a clear idea of the desired result, but little time to chieve it, the Ready-to-finish purchasing option is the one for you.
This is the closest you can get to a turnkey home, except that you can be involved in every step of the construction project.
As for manual work, you will mainly be involved in tasks that are essentially more creative and personal. You will have the chance to make your living environment your own work and your choices regarding paint, flooring, cabinets, and so on.

- The interior finish is at your discretion.
- You must provide the land and foundations for our team to erect the structure.
Since most of the logistics of the work are the responsibility of the expert Batitech team, this is the most expensive option. However, it assures you of exceptional construction quality and total peace of mind.
Even considering the additional investment to entrust the construction to our team, this formula remains more accessible than the purchase of a conventional new house.

The Site Manager purchase option requires your participation, without the completion depending entirely on you. If you want to participate in the work to save a little money while counting on us to save time, this is the ideal compromise.
The goal with this option is to offer you the flexibility you need so that the entire project does not rest entirely on your shoulders.

To consider
- Demand for knowledge and experience in construction
- Requires a lot of time to manage the site and coordinate the work, partners and subcontractors
- Requires comparing bids from partners and subcontractors
If you don’t already have industry contacts, the responsibility of finding professionals to do business with can be a daunting challenge. You will need to find the reliable services of several certified specialists for plumbing, electricity, ventilation system and finishing.
The options may not be recommended if you have no experience. The expense of hiring contractors will quickly outweigh the savings on the initial purchase.
However, it is the ideal option for passionate builders who want to build their home independently and efficiently, at a good price.
What questions should we ask ourselves before going on self-construction?
Before choosing one of the options, you should ask yourself 3 simple questions:
- Do you have time?
- Do you have the knowledge?
- Do you have the energy?
Do you have time?
Between the daily routine, work and family life, including this precious rest that we sometimes forget, will you really have time to build your nouse?
Most major work is done in advance, at the factory. But depending on the purchase option chosen, you will need to allow time in the scehdule! The key to your success lies in a realistic organization and a respected roadmap.
Because even if you have experience, managing communications with professionals, assembling panels, inspecting the structure and checking the quality of each stage of the project takes time.
Do you have the knowledge?
We make the process of building a house more accessible for as many people as possible. But our products are still aimed at DIY enthusiasts who have some experience in the construction field.
This knowledge related to the building field will be very useful to you when we provide you with the panels and detailed documentation to assemble the house. You must be able to understand construction plans and use the hammer to assemble the different components of the structure.
If you have neither the experience nor the comfort required to use tools, the Ready-toFinish option is probably the best option for your project.
Do you have the energy?
It’s a fact: prefabricated panels make assembling a home easier than ever.
That being said, building your own house is not an easy job, no matter the method!
Between daily responsibilities, family life, hobbies and projects, do you still have energy to invest in building a house? Do certain tasks seem unachievable to you?
