High NPS and eNPS scores tell us two important things:
our customers are willing to recommend us, and our employees enjoy their work and are committed to what they do.
- NPS (Net Promoter Score) measures customer satisfaction and indicates how likely our customers are to recommend us to others. Our current score is NPS = 58, reflecting strong customer trust.
- eNPS (Employee Net Promoter Score), on the other hand, measures employee satisfaction and engagement – that is, how likely our employees are to recommend us as a workplace. Our current score is eNPS = 58, which confirms the positive experience of our team.
Together, these figures reflect strong trust and operational quality – from the perspectives of both our customers and our employees.
The project progresses step by step — from design and permitting to construction and final handover to the customer. The duration of the construction phase depends on the size of the property and typically ranges between 9 and 12 months.
All our projects have been completed on schedule. We always create realistic timelines and closely monitor their progress.
In new housing transactions, buyers are also protected by law. If the handover of the property is delayed, the buyer has the right to withhold payment of any due installment of the purchase price until the seller demonstrates the ability to fulfill the agreement within the agreed timeframe or provides sufficient security to protect the buyer’s rights. Additionally, the buyer has the right to withhold payment to the extent necessary to secure a potential compensation claim.

The RS system (Financial and Security System) is a legal protection mechanism for buyers of new-build properties. It is applied when apartments are sold during the construction phase.
- What are the benefits?
The RS bank oversees the project to ensure that the buyer’s payments are used solely for construction. The developer’s securities protect the buyer’s investment, and the buyer has the right to review project documents and receive compensation in case of delays.
The RS system safeguards the buyer’s funds and ensures that the project progresses as agreed.
Energy efficiency means lower expenses and lasting savings for you. Every one of our homes is rated in energy class A and heated with geothermal energy.
The price of a plot is influenced by many factors, the most important of which is location. In sought-after areas, plots are more valuable because buyers appreciate good transport connections, nearby services, and a pleasant environment.
The soil quality, elevation differences, and terrain shape also affect construction costs, which in turn influence the value of the plot. In addition, the prices and supply of new homes in the area determine what is a reasonable purchase price for the plot to ensure that the future sale prices of the homes will cover both land and construction costs.
If there is an old building on the plot, its demolition costs are factored into the price. In most cases, we take care of the demolition and all related costs for you.
Selling your plot to us is easy – we take care of everything for you:
- Get in touch – you can offer your plot via our form, by phone, or by email.
- We review the details – we assess the plot, the area, and the zoning regulations.
- Price estimate – based on the plot’s buildability and recent comparable sales.
