Self-promotion of housing
Self-promotion of housing is a model that allows you to design and build your own house, leading each phase of the project, instead of buying it from a real estate developer.
This process allows for greater control, freedom and cost optimization by eliminating intermediaries and directly managing the contracting of architects, builders and other professionals. This option is also ideal for those looking for an efficient and sustainable house, as it allows control of decision making in innovation and ecological solutions.
What does it mean to be a self-promoter?
When a person decides to self-promote their home, they take on the role of a developer, which means that they are responsible for various administrative and financial responsibilities, as well as managing the design and execution.
This approach allows, in addition to having greater control, the possibility of customizing the home according to one’s needs and tastes, an option that is not found in standard real estate developments.
- At ÁBATON we help you design, build and manage the self-promotion of your customized home, optimizing resources and guaranteeing the highest quality. By centralizing all the elements and services in a single interlocutor, we reduce time, minimize uncertainty and avoid the dissolution of responsibilities, thus achieving a more agile and simple process for the self-promoter.
Self-promotion phases and milestones
The process requires careful planning and management of multiple phases, from project conceptualization to construction execution and delivery. This includes the management of licenses and permits, coordination with technicians, design, among other key aspects.
Below, we explain the development of a self-promotion by phases, highlighting the most relevant milestones that should not be overlooked.
- We offer an integral service of architecture, interior design, landscaping and construction, along with the administrative management of all processes.
- To start with the project, our team accompanies you in choosing the ideal location for a future house, recommending the best areas and plots of land with the greatest architectural potential based on their orientation, topography and regulations.
- Our team works hand in hand with the self-developers to design the spaces aesthetically and functionally tailored. We coordinate the topographic survey and seek to take advantage of the full potential of the land, its orientation, views, vegetation and regulatory characteristics.
At ABATON, we conceive architecture as an exercise of balance between functionality, beauty and harmony with the environment. We seek timeless designs, with a fluid connection between interior and exterior, prioritizing light, scale and materiality as essential elements. Our philosophy is based on simplicity well understood, in the purity of lines and the warmth of natural materials, which evolve over time and integrate into their context.
- At ABATON we manage the geotechnical report and all the necessary previous studies, coordinating with the best professionals and facilitating this process.
Once the license is requested, the wait can be long due to administrative procedures. In order to speed up the process, at ABATON we advise and assess the risks of advancing certain parts of the Execution Project while the license is being processed at the City Hall, allowing us to advance work and reduce deadlines.
- At ABATON we manage the entire process guaranteeing ease and consistency with a single interlocutor, thanks to the fact that we have our own construction company.
Kitchen design
Once the essential aspects for the elaboration of measurements and the progress in the procedures for the request for construction bids have been completed, it is advisable to develop the complete kitchen project.
At ABATON, our architects specialized in kitchens work from the phases of the Basic Project and the Execution Project in a general scheme of uses, identifying the elements that generate demand for facilities and proposing a comprehensive proposal for this key space of the house. This kitchen proposal is included in our architectural fees, at no additional cost.
If the self-promoter wishes, once the complete proposal has been defined, we can go even deeper into the kitchen project, specifying appliance models, construction details and applying all our know-how to create a unique and exceptional space, without the need to go to an external kitchen house, although this is always an option if preferred.
- Our team designs customized kitchens, taking care of the distribution of work areas, the selection of materials and finishes, and the integration of appliances, ensuring a functional and aesthetic result in harmony with the overall project. We design this space as a key point in the design to ensure the coherence and functionality of the project and as a meeting place, to enjoy and share, ensuring functionality and aesthetics taking care of every detail. We work with a team and brands that guarantee an exceptional and integrated final result in the space.
At ABATON, the advantage of having a single interlocutor who understands and coordinates each phase of the process brings clarity and efficiency. Compared to teams that only take care of their own scope of action, our global vision allows us to anticipate needs, reduce unforeseen events and guarantee an agile and coherent development of the project.
- At ABATON we have our own construction company, which allows us to control the planning and organization of the work as a whole, coordinating the execution of the works and supervising the attention to detail in each process.
Decoration and furnishing
During the execution of the work, a decoration and furnishing project can be developed to ensure that each decision on furnishings and finishes is efficiently integrated into the process. Precise control over deadlines guarantees the availability of parts, avoids out-of-stocks and optimizes order management. At ABATON, our clients can count on an interior design aligned with the character of the home, incorporating both new pieces and existing elements of the property. We work with more than 250 top brands and we develop each proposal taking care of functionality, aesthetics and coherence with the architectural project.
- Our team of interior designers develop tailor-made proposals for the decoration and furnishing of each house, with selected pieces of design with a unique and personal style for each project.
Landscaping Proposal
During this phase, the garden and outdoor spaces are also designed. As part of our architectural fees, the preliminary landscape design is included, ensuring a harmonious integration with the house. During the execution phase, a complete landscape proposal can be developed, defining the layout of the vegetation, the varieties, the irrigation and maintenance system, as well as the installation of the exterior lighting.
Our landscaping follows a naturalistic philosophy, inspired by the New Perennial movement, where structure and texture are protagonists throughout the year. We conceive each garden with its own story -theaccess, the meadow, the path to…– that dialogues with the architecture and balances contrasts of order and disorder, incorporating the intimacy factor.
We prioritize stability and sustainability, selecting well-adapted species that coexist in harmony, require little maintenance and evolve beautifully. A complete ABATON landscaping project can include up to 60 different species, much more than the usual 15-20, combining herbaceous perennials, grasses, trees and woody species in schemes that generate unity and dynamism.
Our gardens are living spaces designed to be enjoyed in every season, conceived to enhance the passage of time and to root the home in its environment with naturalness and character.
- An ABATON house always comes with a striking and surprising natural environment. Developers design with our professionals a personal and unique natural environment.
- Our team ensures ease and control over the administrative processes. We deliver the house guaranteeing the quality of the final result and providing after-sales service.
