This is how the construction process goes: Order process How to buy a prefabricated house from us Buying a prefabricated house is a major investment and requires clarity, accuracy and security at every step. At Hus i Bergslagen AB, we have developed a structured ordering process that ensures that you as a customer have full control from first contact to finished delivery. order form 1. Initial contact and needs analysis 2. Architectural drawings and 3D model 3. Quotation and specification 4. Review and adjustments 5. Order and agreement 6. Production and delivery schedule 7. Support during the project The process begins when you contact us with your idea, plot or architectural drawings. At the first meeting, we take the time to carefully listen to your needs, desires, and vision for the house you want to build. We review fundamental factors such as site conditions, intended building size, floor plan ideas, architectural style preferences, and any specific requirements for energy performance or sustainability. We also provide advice on how transport logistics, accessibility to the construction site and local building regulations can affect the design and planning of the project. The goal at this stage is to create a common understanding and lay a clear foundation for the next steps — from 3D modeling and quotation preparation to full-scale production. If you have your own architectural drawings, we accept them in DWG or PDF format. In cases where you do not have ready-made drawings, we can help you develop a basic layout. From these drawings, we build a detailed 3D model, which is the basis for all further planning. The model makes it possible to accurately calculate material consumption, production volumes and provide an accurate cost estimate. Once the 3D model is complete, you will receive a quote that is 100% based on actual material quantities and working hours. No templates or uncertainties – the quote is completely transparent and includes: Material specification for walls, ceilings, floors and details Scope of delivery Production and delivery time Clear price breakdown We will go through the quote, model and specification in detail together. Here you have the opportunity to ask questions, adjust the scope, select or remove elements before we move forward. When you approve the quote, a formal order agreement is written. This becomes the basis for our delivery and ensures that all parties have a common understanding of what is to be built. After a signed agreement, production begins. All parts are manufactured in our factory, packaged according to assembly order and marked with unique ID labels. You will receive a delivery plan that includes: Delivery date Logistics and unloading instructions Assembly instructions in digital and printed format We are available throughout the construction process for technical questions, support and any adjustments. You will always have contact with a dedicated project manager with us who knows your project in detail. Production process How we manufacture your prefabricated house At Hus i Bergslagen AB, our production process is designed for maximum precision, efficiency and control. Every step is based on careful planning and digital modeling to ensure high quality and reliable assembly on site. 1. Final 3D model and component planning 2. Material preparation and precision cutting 3. Volume division and packaging 4. Labeling and documentation 5. Quality control 6. Transportation and delivery coordination After the order agreement is signed, we complete the 3D model and begin detailed planning of all components. Each part of the building – walls, floors and roofs – is divided into layers and individual components, such as joists, panels, insulation and board materials. All components are given a unique ID and linked directly to the model database. Based on the final component list, materials are selected, cut and prepared in our factory. The wooden elements are cut with high precision based on the 3D model, using modern and calibrated machines to ensure consistent quality. All components are grouped into manageable volumes depending on the project's methodology: For prefabricated elements, the volumes are adjusted according to applicable transport dimensions. For detached wooden houses, the volumes are adjusted according to the capacity of the assembly team and the conditions of the construction site. Each volume is packed layer by layer (e.g. facade panel, battens, windbreak, frame, insulation, vapor barrier, OSB, plaster), and all parts for a specific wall are packed together to facilitate assembly. Each component is marked with a unique ID number that is linked to the 3D model. This labeling system enables: Traceability of each part Organized packaging and delivery Precise and error-free assembly on site We also produce a complete set of waterproof assembly drawings and instructions for each element. These include: Assembly order Component placement Connection types (nails, screws, fittings) Mounting instructions (distance, edge dimensions) Each document also contains a QR code that links to the 3D model for a clear visual overview. Before delivery, each package and component is checked to ensure that: All parts included Cuts are precise The marking is correct. The packaging follows the planned assembly order. This check minimizes the risk of errors and delays during installation. Once everything is packaged and approved, the volumes are loaded and delivered according to the agreed schedule. We are responsible for: Transport logistics Access instructions to construction site Unloading order adapted to the construction sequence Our goal is to make work on the construction site as smooth and efficient as possible. On-site assembly Step by step When the prefabricated building components arrive at the construction site, our experienced assembly team takes over. The entire assembly is carefully planned to ensure a fast, precise and safe construction. 1: Unloading and sorting 2: Checking the foundation and preparations 3: Mounting the walls 4: Floor and intermediate floor 5: Roof installation 6: Quality assurance and adjustments All components are delivered in a predetermined order based on the assembly plan. Each component is clearly marked with a unique ID that is linked to the 3D model and assembly instructions. Upon arrival, the material is unloaded and sorted directly into the correct working order, which minimizes unnecessary handling and streamlines assembly. Before installation begins, the foundation is carefully checked for flatness, dimensional accuracy and compliance with the project's tolerances. All measurements are verified to ensure that the prefabricated elements fit exactly. This step is crucial for the construction to be correct and stable. Exterior and interior walls are installed in the order specified in the drawings and load-bearing structural plans. Thanks to factory-made precision and clear marking, each wall section fits exactly without the need for cutting or adjustment. Fasteners, fittings and anchors are used according to instructions to achieve both strength and correct compliance with building codes. If the house has several floors, joists are installed between the floors when the ground floor walls are erected. These elements are also prefabricated and sorted in the correct order. Each floor is placed and anchored according to technical drawings, creating a stable platform for the next level. The prefabricated roof trusses or roof modules are lifted into place using a crane or lifting device depending on the scope of the project. Assembly is carried out according to the lifting and installation instructions provided. In case of uncertain weather, the roof is temporarily covered to protect the structure before the final roof covering is installed. Throughout the assembly process, every step is documented and checked to ensure that everything is in accordance with drawings and specifications. Any deviations are addressed immediately on site before moving on. The goal is for the structure to not only be quick to build, but also to meet the highest standards in terms of safety, durability and precision. Inspection Step by step Once construction is complete and all parts are assembled according to plan, the inspection phase begins. This stage is crucial to quality assurance of the entire project before final delivery to the customer. 1: Preliminary inspection of work performed 2: Quality control per component 3: Review with customer or project manager 4: Action list and adjustments 5: Final inspection and approval Before the formal inspection, an internal pre-inspection is carried out where our team checks that all elements are completed according to drawings, specifications and applicable building codes. We document any details that need to be addressed and ensure that the work is ready for independent review. Each individual building component – such as walls, floors, ceilings and fixings – is visually and technically inspected. We ensure that there are no visible or hidden defects, that the correct materials have been used and that assembly has been carried out according to instructions. Once the self-inspection has been completed, we book a meeting with the customer, client or external inspector. Together we go through the entire construction, compare with the documentation and discuss any questions or requests. If deficiencies are discovered, a list of actions is drawn up. We address all points within the agreed time and communicate the status continuously. Our goal is always to deliver a flawless result – without compromise. When all measures have been implemented, the final inspection takes place. This is carried out by an external inspector or approved by the customer according to agreement. If the result is approved, the project is considered completed and the house is ready for occupancy or further interior work. Loose Timber House Project At Hus i Bergslagen AB, we provide a modern, precise, and flexible solution for constructing loose timber houses (Lösvirkeshus). Our process is designed to support efficient on-site assembly without compromising on quality or customization. We deliver all structural components fully precut, labeled, and prepared according to your project's exact specifications. Each element is dimensioned and organized for optimal handling on-site, whether the assembly is carried out by your own team or a partner contractor. The house is then built element by element directly on the construction site. This method offers greater flexibility than prefabricated modules, especially in projects where access, transport, or customization requirements make factory-assembled elements less practical. Thanks to our detailed 3D modeling and labeling system, every part fits into place with high precision. We also provide comprehensive assembly instructions for each construction layer, from structural framing to insulation and finishing materials, ensuring a smooth and reliable building process. Construction process Step 1: 3D Model Generation Based on architectural drawings (DWG/PDF formats), a full 3D model of the house is constructed. The 3D model is essential for material calculation, volume control, collision detection, and cost estimation. No offer is made without a completed and verified 3D model to ensure 100% material and cost accuracy. Step 2: Volume Segmentation The 3D model is divided into production and assembly volumes to optimize logistics and workflow: For prefabricated builds, volumes are limited according to Swedish transport regulations (standard road transport dimensions). For loose timber projects, volume segmentation is optimised based on the lifting capacity, number of assemblers, and site working conditions. Step 3: Layer Structuring (Wall Section Decomposition) Each wall element is structured in layers from exterior to interior: Outside layers: exterior panel (cladding), lathing (ventilation battens), wind barrier (vindfolie) Structural Frame + Mineral Wool Insulation Inside layers: vapor barrier (plastic foil), installation wall + additional insulation, OSB board (structural sheeting, gypsum board (interior finish) Step 4: Component Extraction and Labelling Each layer is decomposed into individual components. In the frame structure, every stud, beam, and sill plate is separated. Every component is assigned a unique identification label (ID) linked to the 3D model database. Labeling allows for precise sorting, packing, transport, and on-site installation without interpretation errors. All the elements composing each wall are packed together for easy handling and assembly. Step 5: Assembly Documentation For each prefabricated volume or composing element, detailed waterproofed assembly drawings are generated. Assembly instructions specify: Element order Component placement Connection types (nails, screws, plates, etc.) Fastening standards (e.g., distances, edge spacings) Step 6: Floor Slabs and Roof Structures Intermediate floors (slabs between levels) are produced and delivered following the same methodology (layered breakdown, component labelling, and assembly documentation). Roof structures (takstolar) are fully prefabricated in the factory and installed on-site based on dedicated lifting and installation instructions. Process Advantages Full traceability from model to finished structure. 100% material accuracy – no surplus or shortages. Optimized on-site work – rapid, error-free installation based on clear, step-by-step instructions. Transport and handling efficiency – no oversize risks or unloading issues. Flexible adaptation – construction solutions adjusted to project-specific requirements. Each drawing contain a QR code where you can easily see the 3D model and get a good understanding of each element location Here is an example of the full set of assembly documentation that accompanies each prefabricated element. Nästlett concept (tiny house) Tillgångsgalleri About Nästlett What is it? Nästlett is an tiny house designed around three key features: High Mobility Easy to transport, connect, and remove. Can be resold when no longer needed, ensuring a high return on investment. Factory Line Production: Fully produced in a controlled factory environment. Lower production costs and consistent quality. Best Quality/Price Balance: A competitive product offering exceptional value on the market. Why did we build a tiny house? Hus i Bergslagen, a company specializing in prefab house production, received frequent inquiries about Attefallshus projects. Through our experience building these houses, we realized their compact size made them ideal for complete factory production. When analyzing the market, we discovered that while a few manufacturers offered fully finished products, these often came with installation and removal challenges when no longer needed. This prompted us to develop a pilot project aimed at creating an Attefallshus with distinct advantages over competitors. Why metal slab structure? Maximizing interior height was a priority, which required a slab material other than wood. Due to its lower structural capacity compared to concrete or metal, wood would necessitate a significantly thicker slab. After consulting with our structural engineer, we evaluated concrete and metal options: Concrete: While strong, it posed two major challenges: excessive weight for a 30 m² slab and poor insulation properties. Metal: Metal emerged as the ideal choice, offering both the strength required to support the house and superior insulation properties, particularly when paired with PUR insulation. To optimize the metal slab, we addressed potential issues such as corrosion protection and mitigating thermal bridges caused by the material. Disadvantages Height Limitation: Due to factory production and transport regulations, the total height of our Attefallshus cannot exceed 3.6 meters, even though Attefallshus regulations permit constructions up to 4 meters. Despite our efficient slab design, which is only 20 cm thick, this results in an interior functional height that is approximately 30 cm shorter than the maximum allowed. Limited Layout Options To keep costs low and production efficient, we offer only one standardized layout. While customers can select from various colors and material options, changes to the slab dimensions, height, or internal dimensions are not available. Product specifications Design Drawings Material specification EPD Attefallshus definition and regulations What is an Attefallshus? Building permits are typically required for new constructions, but Attefallshus are exempt from this requirement. A building permit is also not needed for extending an existing Attefallshus, provided that all the requirements for Attefallshus are met. However, in most cases, a notification is required for both new constructions and extensions. What regulations need to be followed: - There must be an existing single-family or two-family house on the property. - It must be an accessory building or an accessory dwelling house. - The maximum area may not exceed 30.0 m². - The ridge height may not exceed 4.0 meters. - It must be freestanding. - It must be located in close proximity to the existing single-family or two-family house. - It must be at least 4.5 meters away from the property boundary. - It must be at least 30.0 meters away from railway tracks. - It must not be built near buildings or in areas considered to have particular cultural or historical value. - The detailed development plan for the area must not impose additional building permit requirements for Attefallshus. - If it is an accessory dwelling house, it must not be located within or near areas of national interest for total defense.

Tiny houses Bigger is not always better. Sometimes, just the way it is is enough. Attefallshus and Hus i bergslagen Definition and rules House models Tiny houses and Hus i Bergslagen Building an Attefallshus follows the same construction principles as building a traditional house. While retaining all essential functions, Attefallshus are designed on a much smaller scale. At Hus i Bergslagen, we can produce and install any Attefallshus design you dream of. Simply browse the internet for inspiration, find a design you like, and send it to us for a customized quotation. In some cases, the size and shape of an Attefallshus prevent it from being fully constructed in a factory, as it may exceed transportation limits. While we are capable of producing and installing Attefallshus throughout Sweden, offering turnkey projects outside the Örebro län area is not always cost-effective for either party. In such cases, it’s often more economical to work with local contractors for project completion. We’ve taken these considerations seriously in developing our Nästlet project. By constructing the entire unit in one location, we eliminate the need for multiple subcontractors, significantly reducing costs. This approach allows us to offer competitive pricing or reinvest the savings into higher-quality materials, ensuring superior results for our clients. Attefallshus definition and regulations What is an Attefallshus? Building permits are typically required for new constructions, but Attefallshus are exempt from this requirement.

Roof trusses At Hus i Bergslagen, we specialize in producing high-quality roof trusses with a focus on strength, durability, and precision. Our production process seamlessly combines certified quality materials with advanced cutting and assembling technology. As a RISE (Research Institutes of Sweden) certified company, we undergo annual unannounced inspections to ensure that our truss production consistently meets current industry standards. Building process Getting Started The process begins with a request for a quote. To provide an accurate estimate, we require the following information: Customer contact details Architectural drawings of the house, garage, or extension requiring trusses House location (to determine the snow load zone and calculate transport costs) Design and Planning Using the information provided, we create detailed roof truss designs using specialized software called Pamir. This software allows us to generate: Material specifications: Types and quantities of wood, connection plates, and additional components like beams or posts if required Production drawings: Detailed instructions on how to cut and assemble each part to ensure precision and efficiency Automated Cutting The Pamir software generates cut files, enabling our saw unit to make precise, automated cuts tailored to the design. Assembly The cut parts are transported to our truss assembly unit, where they are carefully assembled according to the detailed drawings. Delivery and Installation Support Our trusses are carefully packaged and delivered to your site, complete with detailed assembly instructions to streamline the construction process. Truss Installation Process The installation of roof trusses is a critical step in the construction process, requiring precision and expertise. Once the trusses are delivered to the site, they are carefully lifted into position using cranes or specialized lifting equipment. Each truss is aligned according to the structural plan and securely fastened to the supporting walls or beams. Temporary bracing is used to ensure stability during the installation process, followed by the permanent bracing system that locks the trusses in place. Proper coordination and adherence to safety standards are essential to guarantee a secure and efficient installation, providing a strong framework for your roof. In our truss production process, we utilize certified software to calculate the design and functionality of each roof truss. This enables us to take full responsibility for each individual truss and the roof as a complete structural unit, ensuring it meets all requirements for tolerances, load capacity, and durability. For every unique project, we perform precise calculations and create detailed Pamir truss drawings, which form an integral part of our manufacturing and certification process.

Total or partial renovation project What is a total renovation project A total house renovation process in Sweden typically involves a comprehensive overhaul of a property to improve its functionality, aesthetics, and compliance with local building standards. Here’s an outline of what it implies: 1. Planning and Permits Inspection and Assessment: A detailed evaluation of the house's current condition to identify necessary repairs and upgrades. Design and Planning: Creating a renovation plan, including architectural designs, material selection, and cost estimation. Permits and Approvals: Obtaining necessary permits from local authorities, such as the municipality (kommun), especially for structural changes or extensions. 2. Demolition and Preparation Demolition: Removing outdated structures, materials, or installations that need replacement (e.g., walls, flooring, old plumbing, and electrical systems). Structural Integrity Check: Ensuring the foundation, walls, and roof are sound and addressing any issues. 3. Structural and Exterior Renovation Roofing: Repairing or replacing the roof to improve insulation and durability. Windows and Doors: Installing energy-efficient windows and doors. Exterior Walls: Repainting, re-cladding, or adding insulation for improved energy efficiency. Foundation Repairs: Addressing cracks, waterproofing, or structural weaknesses. 4. Interior Renovation Walls and Ceilings: Rebuilding or refinishing walls, adding insulation, and applying new paint or wallpaper. Flooring: Replacing or restoring floors with materials like hardwood, tiles, or parquet. Kitchen and Bathroom: Complete remodeling with modern appliances, cabinetry, tiles, and fixtures. 5. Utilities and Systems Electrical Work: Updating wiring, installing new outlets, and ensuring the electrical system meets Swedish safety standards. Plumbing: Replacing pipes, installing new fixtures, and ensuring proper water flow and drainage. Heating and Ventilation: Installing or upgrading energy-efficient systems, such as heat pumps or underfloor heating. Smart Systems: Adding modern smart home technologies for lighting, security, and climate control. 6. Final Touches Interior Decor: Adding built-in furniture, lighting fixtures, and other aesthetic elements. Landscaping: Improving the outdoor area, such as gardens, patios, and driveways. Inspection and Approval: Ensuring the renovations meet all building codes and regulations. 7. Budget and Timeline Renovations in Sweden can vary widely in cost and duration depending on the house size, extent of work, and materials used. On average: Cost: A total renovation could range from SEK 15,000–30,000 per square meter. Time: Projects can take anywhere from 3 to 12 months or more, depending on complexity. How to ask and choose the right offer Having been involved in various renovation projects over the years, we’ve drawn some key conclusions about managing renovation projects effectively: 1. Work with a Single Responsible Company It’s always better to hire one company to take full responsibility for the entire renovation process. This approach helps you avoid conflicts that often arise when multiple contractors or entrepreneurs are involved, each with their own scope of work and accountability. 2. Insist on Fixed Prices and Clear Contracts Ask for fixed-price contracts and ensure that the scope of work is clearly defined. An important tip is to also ask what is not included in the contract rather than focus on what is included. This helps prevent common misunderstandings, such as: "I was contracted to install parquet, not to remove the old one." "I was hired to install the kitchen but not to handle the white goods." "I was contracted to install a door not the handle" and so on 3. Understand the Dynamics of the Renovation Process The relationship between a construction company and a private customer can often be challenging. It’s normal for private customers to lack expertise in the details of a renovation project, and that’s why clear communication is essential. 4. Compare Offers Wisely When starting a renovation, it’s advisable to get offers from multiple companies. While it’s natural to compare prices and lean toward the cheapest option, remember that not all companies provide the same level of quality or scope of service. Some companies intentionally provide less detailed offers to secure the lowest price and win the contract. This can lead to incomplete work or unexpected costs down the line when tasks are found to be excluded. 5. Ensure You Get What You Want To avoid disappointment, ensure the offer explicitly covers all the work you expect. Take the time to review and compare not just the prices but also the level of detail, quality, and scope in each proposal. A comprehensive and transparent offer often leads to fewer surprises and better overall satisfaction. By following these principles, you can minimize risks and ensure your renovation project runs smoothly, with results that meet your expectations. What can we offer? While we can take full responsibility for overseeing and completing entire renovation projects, there are certain aspects where we collaborate with trusted and well-established partner companies. These include specialized tasks such as ground preparation, plumbing, electrical work, and ventilation systems. For in-house services, we offer: Carpentry: Precision craftsmanship for structural and aesthetic woodwork. Tilework: High-quality installation of tiles for floors, walls, and bathrooms. Painting: Professional painting services to enhance the interior and exterior of your property.

House extension project What is a house extension? In the Planning and Building Act (PBL), an extension is defined as a modification to a building that increases the building's volume. Planning and Building Act (2010:900) Chapter 1, Section 4 An extension includes any measures that increase a building's volume, regardless of the direction in which the increase occurs. This means that a volume increase upward, to the sides, or downward is considered an extension. However, adding insulation is generally not regarded as an extension. Similarly, converting an attic within the existing building volume does not constitute an extension (see Government Bill 1985/86:1, p. 501, 676 and Government Bill 2009/10:170, p. 152). The term "extension" existed in the older Planning and Building Act (ÄPBL) but was not defined in the legislation. It is now defined in the PBL. According to the preparatory work for the PBL, statements in the preparatory work for the ÄPBL can still provide guidance on the meaning of "extension," as can older case law (see Government Bill 2009/10:170, p. 152). In practice, it has been unclear whether certain measures, such as dormer windows, balconies, and terraces, should be regarded as extensions. Factors such as the presence of roofs and walls, size, proximity to the ground, and visual impression are considerations that the Land and Environment Court of Appeal (MÖD) may take into account when determining whether an action qualifies as an extension. Several rulings indicate that there is no absolute requirement for the space to be enclosed by walls. Boverket provides a precise definition of what constitutes a house extension and outlines the applicable regulations. An extension is generally defined as a modification that increases a building's volume, regardless of the direction. Specific guidelines determine when an extension is subject to permits and other regulatory requirements, ensuring that any new construction complies with planning and building laws. For detailed information about definitions, requirements, and legal implications of house extensions, you can read more on Boverket’s official website or consult the Planning and Building Act (PBL). What are the steps for building a house extension? Building a house extension in Sweden involves several key steps to ensure compliance with local regulations and successful project completion: 1) Initial Planning and Design: Assess Your Needs: Determine the purpose and scope of the extension. Engage Professionals: Consult with architects or designers to create detailed plans that align with your vision and comply with Swedish building standards. 2. Check Zoning and Planning Regulations: Review Local Plans: Verify that your proposed extension adheres to the local detailed development plan (detaljplan). Consult the Municipality: Engage with your local building committee (byggnadsnämnden) to understand specific requirements and restrictions. 3. Obtain Necessary Permits: Building Permit (Bygglov): Most extensions require a building permit. Submit your application with all necessary documentation, including architectural drawings and project descriptions. Notifications: For certain minor works, a notification (anmälan) may suffice instead of a full permit. 4. Technical Consultation and Inspection Plan: Technical Consultation: Attend a meeting with the building committee to discuss the project and review the inspection plan. Inspection Plan: Develop a plan outlining necessary inspections during construction to ensure compliance with building regulations. Boverket 5. Appoint a Certified Inspector (Kontrollansvarig): Certification: Hire a certified inspector responsible for overseeing compliance throughout the construction process. Starting Clearance (Startbesked): Approval to Begin: Obtain a starting clearance from the building committee before commencing any construction work. 6. Construction Phase: Adhere to Plans: Ensure that construction follows the approved plans and inspection protocols. Regular Inspections: Conduct inspections as outlined in the inspection plan to verify compliance with building standards. 7. Final Inspection and Completion Certificate (Slutbesked): Final Consultation: Participate in a final meeting with the building committee to review the completed work. Completion Certificate: Receive a completion certificate, allowing the extension to be officially used. Throughout the process, maintain open communication with local authorities and adhere to all regulatory requirements to ensure a smooth and compliant construction experience. What can we offer? While we can get involved and assist throughout the entire administrative process of the building project, our expertise is best used in the technical and construction phases. We focus on ensuring that the execution of your house extension follow your expectations. A typical house extension process is similar to constructing a small house, with the key difference being its integration with the existing structure. This integration requires careful planning and execution to connect critical systems, including: Drainage System: Ensuring proper flow and integration into the existing drainage network to prevent blockages or backflow issues. Water System: Extending water supply lines without compromising pressure or functionality. Heating System: Integrating radiators, underfloor heating, or HVAC systems for consistent temperature regulation throughout the property. Ventilation: Extending or modifying ventilation systems to maintain air quality and meet regulatory standards. Electricity: Adding electrical wiring, outlets, and lighting while ensuring compliance with safety codes and maintaining the load balance. Roof Connection: Merging the new roof with the existing one to ensure durability, proper insulation, and water-tight sealing. In most cases, a house extension also involves the demolition of one or more external wall. This is a critical step that must be handled carefully to avoid structural damage to the existing building. Additional considerations include preserving the integrity of load-bearing walls, ensuring adequate insulation, and minimizing disruptions to your daily life during construction. Final thoughts Over the past 15 years, I have been actively involved in numerous house extension projects, working with a variety of companies to deliver exceptional results.

This extensive experience has provided me with in-depth knowledge and a versatile skill set to handle all aspects of extension projects. Whether it’s navigating intricate planning regulations, ensuring structural integrity, or integrating modern systems seamlessly with existing buildings, we have honed our expertise to meet client expectations. Our ability to adapt to different project scales and challenges, combined with a deep understanding of construction processes and technical requirements, ensures that every project we undertake is executed with precision, quality, and care.

Order Process How to Purchase a Prefabricated House from Us Buying a prefabricated house is a major investment and requires clarity, precision, and confidence at every stage. At Hus i Bergslagen AB, we have developed a structured order process to ensure that you, as a customer, have full control from the first contact to the final delivery. beställningsformulär 1. Initial Contact and Needs Analysis 2. Architectural Basis and 3D Modeling 3. Offer and Specification 4. Review and Adjustments 5. Order Confirmation and Contract 6. Production and Delivery Planning 7. Ongoing Support During the Project If you already have architectural drawings, we receive them in DWG or PDF format. If you don’t have a complete design, we can assist in developing a basic layout. From these drawings, we create a detailed 3D model, which becomes the foundation for all further planning. The model allows us to accurately calculate material quantities, production volumes, and provide a precise cost estimate. Once the 3D model is complete, you will receive a quote based entirely on actual material quantities and labor hours. No approximations or estimates — the offer is completely transparent and includes: Material specifications for walls, roof, floors, and structural components Scope of delivery Production and delivery timeline Clear pricing breakdown Together, we go through the quote, 3D model, and specifications in detail. This is your opportunity to ask questions, adjust the scope, or add/remove elements before moving forward. When you approve the quote, we sign a formal order contract. This forms the legal and technical basis for our delivery and ensures that all parties share a clear understanding of what will be built. Once the contract is signed, production begins. All components are manufactured in our factory, packaged in assembly sequence, and labeled with unique ID tags. You receive a delivery plan that includes: Delivery dates Logistics and unloading instructions Assembly manuals (in both digital and printed form) We remain available throughout the building process for technical questions, support, and potential adjustments. You will always have direct contact with a dedicated project manager from our team who knows your project inside and out. The process begins when you reach out to us with your idea, plot, or architectural drawings. We discuss your needs, preferences, budget, and project conditions. At this stage, we provide initial guidance on what is technically feasible and which solutions best suit your project.

Production process How we manufacture your prefabricated house At Hus i Bergslagen AB, our production process is designed for maximum precision, efficiency and control. Every step is based on careful planning and digital modeling to ensure high quality and reliable assembly on site. 1. Final 3D model and component planning 2. Material preparation and precision cutting 3. Volume division and packaging 4. Labeling and documentation 5. Quality control 6. Transportation and delivery coordination After the order agreement is signed, we complete the 3D model and begin detailed planning of all components. Each part of the building – walls, floors and roofs – is divided into layers and individual components, such as joists, panels, insulation and board materials. All components are given a unique ID and linked directly to the model database. Based on the final component list, materials are selected, cut and prepared in our factory. The wooden elements are cut with high precision based on the 3D model, using modern and calibrated machines to ensure consistent quality. All components are grouped into manageable volumes depending on the project's methodology: For prefabricated elements, the volumes are adjusted according to applicable transport dimensions. For detached wooden houses, the volumes are adjusted according to the capacity of the assembly team and the conditions of the construction site. Each volume is packed layer by layer (e.g. facade panel, battens, windbreak, frame, insulation, vapor barrier, OSB, plaster), and all parts for a specific wall are packed together to facilitate assembly. Each component is marked with a unique ID number that is linked to the 3D model. This labeling system enables: Traceability of each part Organized packaging and delivery Precise and error-free assembly on site We also produce a complete set of waterproof assembly drawings and instructions for each element. These include: Assembly order Component placement Connection types (nails, screws, fittings) Mounting instructions (distance, edge dimensions) Each document also contains a QR code that links to the 3D model for a clear visual overview. Before delivery, each package and component is checked to ensure that: All parts included Cuts are precise The marking is correct. The packaging follows the planned assembly order. This check minimizes the risk of errors and delays during installation. Once everything is packaged and approved, the volumes are loaded and delivered according to the agreed schedule. We are responsible for: Transport logistics Access instructions to construction site Unloading order adapted to the construction sequence Our goal is to make work on the construction site as smooth and efficient as possible.
