At PROFI-DOM we understand that it is important for you to know all the details of the house-building process in Astana. So let us look at each stage in detail, so that you understand how we turn a dream into reality.

Pre-design preparation and plot selection

We do not simply take on any plot; we carefully analyse its potential. Geological surveys are needed to understand the soil type, the groundwater level and the bearing capacity. This determines the type of foundation that will be most suitable and cost-effective. We also study the regulatory requirements for developing this plot - height restrictions, setbacks from the boundaries and the permitted use of the land. All of this helps avoid problems with approvals in the future. We help with choosing a plot for building country houses in Astana, taking into account its location, infrastructure, environmental conditions and personal preferences. We hold consultations with lawyers and realtors to make sure the deal is legally clean.

Design

After the plot has been chosen, we move on to the design stage. This is where dreams take shape. Our architects carefully listen to all your wishes: the number of rooms, their size and layout, the style of the house, the budget. We develop several layout options so that you can choose the most suitable one. We use modern software to create a 3D visualisation of the future house. This lets you see how it will look in reality and make any necessary adjustments. At the design stage we take into account all the engineering aspects: the location of the utilities and the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems. The design goes through several rounds of approval with you to make sure it fully meets your expectations. Particular attention is paid to the seismic resistance of the structure, taking into account the features of the region. All designs comply with the building codes and regulations (SNiP) of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Site preparation and foundation for building a house in Astana

A properly prepared plot and a reliable foundation are the key to a durable house. We clear the plot of vegetation, level the surface and remove debris. Then we begin the earthworks: digging the pit or trenches for the foundation. We use modern machinery to carry out this work quickly and to a high standard. The type of foundation is chosen on the basis of geological surveys and the house design. We use strip, pile or slab foundations. A strip foundation is for houses with heavy walls. A pile foundation is for plots with unstable soil. A slab foundation is for houses with a large footprint. When pouring the foundation, we use high-quality concrete and reinforcement, which ensures its strength and durability. We strictly follow the concrete-pouring technology: vibrating, compacting and curing the concrete as it hardens. This guarantees the absence of cracks and voids in the foundation. We waterproof the foundation to protect it from groundwater.

Erecting the shell of the house

Once the foundation is ready, we begin erecting the shell of the house. The walls are built from various materials: brick, aerated concrete, wood, SIP panels. Brick is strong and durable but requires additional thermal insulation. Aerated concrete is light and warm but requires protection from moisture. Wood is eco-friendly and warm but requires special treatment against rot and fire. We use only certified materials from trusted suppliers. When erecting the walls, we strictly observe the geometry of the masonry to ensure even walls and corners. We pay special attention to wall insulation, using modern materials such as mineral wool, polystyrene foam or ecowool. This helps reduce heating and air-conditioning costs. The roof is made of metal tiles, bituminous shingles or natural tiles. Metal tiles are strong and durable but can be noisy during rain. Bituminous shingles are flexible and silent but less durable. Natural tiles are eco-friendly and beautiful but expensive. We carry out waterproofing and vapour insulation of the roof to protect it from moisture and condensation.

Laying the utility networks

Utility networks are the basis of comfort in a home. We install all the necessary services if you choose to build your house with us: electricity, water supply, sewerage, heating, ventilation and air conditioning. We use only certified equipment and materials from leading manufacturers. Electricity: we install the distribution board, run the wiring, and fit sockets, switches and lighting fixtures. Water supply: we connect the house to the central water supply system or install a borehole. We lay the water supply pipes and install plumbing fixtures: sinks, toilets, baths and shower cubicles. Sewerage: we connect the house to the central sewerage system or install a septic tank. We lay the sewerage pipes and install the sewer risers. Heating: we install a heating system - a gas boiler, an electric boiler or a solid-fuel boiler. We lay the heating pipes and install radiators or an underfloor heating system. Ventilation and air conditioning: we install a ventilation and air conditioning system to ensure fresh air and a comfortable temperature in the home.

Interior finishing

Interior finishing is the final stage of house construction, where we create a cosy and stylish interior that reflects your individuality. We carry out all types of finishing work: plastering, filling, painting walls, laying tiles, laying laminate, installing doors and windows. We offer a wide choice of finishing materials from leading manufacturers. When choosing materials, we take your style preferences and budget into account. We strictly follow the finishing-work technology to ensure a high-quality and durable result. We work with professional interior designers who will help you create a unique and functional interior. We install kitchen furniture, plumbing fixtures, lighting fixtures and other interior elements.

Choosing materials for a house is an investment in its future, comfort and energy efficiency. PROFI-DOM offers expert recommendations on the choice, taking into account the climatic features of Astana, your budget and your preferences.

Let us look at the most popular options and their key characteristics:

1. For the walls:

• Brick (ceramic, sand-lime):

Properties: Strong, durable (service life over 100 years), fire-resistant (withstands temperatures up to 1000°C), eco-friendly. Good sound insulation (up to 50 dB).
Advantages: A classic and reliable choice. Provides good thermal inertia (it heats up and cools down slowly), which is important for maintaining a stable temperature in the house. Resistant to weathering.
Disadvantages: High cost (from 300 KZT per unit), requires additional thermal insulation (thermal conductivity coefficient around 0.5-0.8 W/(m·K)) to meet modern energy-efficiency standards. A labour-intensive laying process (around 50 bricks per m²). Considerable weight, requiring a reinforced foundation (load from 1200 kg/m³).
Application: Load-bearing walls, partitions, facade cladding.

• Aerated concrete (gas blocks):

Properties: Light (density from 300 to 700 kg/m³), porous (pores take up to 85% of the volume), retains heat well (thermal conductivity coefficient from 0.1 to 0.2 W/(m·K)), relatively inexpensive (from 15 000 KZT/m³). Easy to work (it can be sawn and drilled).
Advantages: An economical option. High construction speed (laying is up to 2 times faster than with brick). Good thermal insulation that reduces heating costs (savings of up to 40%).

The question of the cost of building a house is always relevant. The price depends on many factors, including the area of the house, the type of design, the materials used, the complexity of the work and the cost of the plot.

The average cost of building a square metre of housing in Astana ranges from 130 000 KZT depending on the chosen materials and the complexity of the project. For example, building cottages from brick costs more than from aerated concrete.
