Building construction Almaty

Construction is a vital industry that creates facilities for various purposes: residential buildings, offices, factories and
infrastructure structures. The process of erecting facilities includes a series of successive stages.

1. Design of the property
2. Preparing the construction site
3. Construction of the foundation and below-ground works
4. Installation of load-bearing and enclosing structures
5. Installation of the roof, windows, doors and utility networks
6. Interior and exterior finishing
7. Landscaping of the surrounding area

The building design process includes:

• Development of the architectural concept
• Site survey and engineering-geological investigations
• Structural calculations of load-bearing capacity
• Determining requirements for thermal and acoustic insulation and fire resistance
• Design of utility systems for water, electricity and gas supply
• Preparation of the estimate and work schedules

Building construction is a complex process that requires professionalism, well-organised work and quality materials.
The competent approach of the specialists at Profi-Dom ensures the operational reliability and durability of the properties.

We use modern technologies:

• Building information modelling (BIM): the use of 3D models for the design and construction of facilities.
• “Smart” buildings: the use of automated control systems for utilities and household appliances.
• Green construction: the use of energy-efficient materials and technologies that minimise the impact of the facility on the environment.

The construction of structures is a complex, multi-stage process that requires specialists of various qualifications.
Compliance with construction codes and regulations, along with the use of modern technologies, makes it possible to erect
reliable, safe and energy-efficient facilities.

Public facilities serve various purposes: shopping and office centres, educational, cultural and healthcare
institutions, sports facilities, etc.

Depending on the functional purpose, the structural and space-planning solutions of buildings vary: number of storeys, area,
location and areas of premises, engineering equipment, finishing materials, etc.

Public buildings must comply with fire safety regulations and have a sufficient number of emergency exits.
For large properties, a warning system and evacuation routes are developed.

Thermal and waterproofing, energy efficiency and the use of modern eco-friendly materials are important. A favourable acoustic environment
is created for cultural and educational institutions.

A variety of architectural styles and a wide range of decorative finishes are used in the facades and interiors
of public buildings.

Industrial facilities are intended to house production workshops, warehouse and auxiliary premises. Their structures
must provide the required spans, height and loads from equipment and technological processes.

The most common are frame structural schemes for single- and multi-span structures. The materials used include:
metal, reinforced concrete, brick. The choice depends on loads, spans and climatic conditions.

For spans of up to 24 m, steel frames and trusses made from rolled or welded profiles are widely used. For larger spans, precast or cast-in-place
reinforced concrete frames and trusses are used.

Floors are made from precast reinforced concrete slabs, on steel beams or as cast-in-place structures. Roofs are made of corrugated
sheet, metal tiles or ribbed slabs.

The walls of frame buildings are curtain walls made of lightweight metal sandwich panels or corrugated sheet with insulation. The
lower part is made of dense materials.

Fire prevention measures, evacuation exits, ventilation and smoke control systems, and backup power
sources are of great importance.

The territory of an industrial facility is divided into functional zones and provided with the necessary transport
and utility infrastructure.

Commercial facilities include shopping centres, hypermarkets, shops and retail and entertainment complexes.
Their design takes into account large visitor flows, the need to zone the space and convenient logistics.

For large properties, frame structural systems are used, allowing extensive open spaces of shopping galleries to be created.
Large-span steel trusses are actively used.

Freight unloading zones, a sufficient number of lifts and escalators, and air conditioning and ventilation systems for
different functional zones are provided.

Fire safety requirements are mandatory: alarms, escape routes and smoke control.
Particular attention is paid to video surveillance and access control systems.

The facades and interiors of commercial buildings are executed in a modern style with bright accents,
attractive wayfinding and designed entrance areas.

Commercial and office facilities are intended to house various organisations, companies and representative offices.
Their designs take into account the specifics of the tenants' operations and the requirements for comfort and prestige.

Frame, cellular, frame-bracing and other structural systems are used, made of monolithic reinforced concrete and steel structures, combining several
materials. The choice is determined by the number of storeys, spans and architectural features.

Multi-storey business centres must have lifts, engineering cores with vertical communications, and supply and exhaust ventilation and air
conditioning systems. Server rooms, IT infrastructure, and security and access control systems are provided.

Open-plan offices are characterised by large areas with a minimum of internal partitions. For organisations with dedicated
offices – the distribution of premises on a cellular structure principle.

The facades and interiors are executed in a modern style, using suspended translucent structures and energy-efficient materials.
Zoning of lobbies, halls and reception areas is essential.

The surrounding area is laid out with parking zones, guest car parks, vehicle driveways and pedestrian paths.
Landscape design is applied, and comfortable conditions are created for employees and visitors.

The HoReCa sector (hotel and restaurant business) includes hotels, inns, restaurants, cafes, pubs and
other hospitality industry establishments. During their construction, planning solutions that meet the specifics of each type
of establishment are important.

For hotels, guest reception and accommodation areas, wide corridors, and spacious rooms of various categories with
bathrooms are provided. Additional premises are essential: restaurants, bars, fitness rooms, spas, conference halls, etc.

In restaurants, the kitchen block, dining halls, bars, and administrative and technical premises are zoned. Kitchens
are equipped with professional ventilation.

Fire safety requirements, engineering systems, and the architectural expressiveness of facades and interiors are important.
"Green" standards are actively applied.

Agricultural structures are intended for keeping livestock and poultry, storing produce and housing machinery.
These include farms, greenhouses, granaries, workshops, etc.

When building farms and poultry plants, specialised premises are provided for housing animals
with the required microclimate.

Granaries are equipped with active ventilation systems and protection against rodents and insects. Greenhouses
have powerful heating and irrigation systems, and a lightweight metal or timber frame is used for glazing or film covering.

Agricultural facilities are arranged in compact groups taking technological links into account, and are provided
with utility and transport infrastructure. Standard designs are used with optimised building structures.

Great attention is paid to sanitary requirements, environmental safety, and protection from fire and the spread of pests.

Warehouses are intended for storing various types of cargo: raw materials, materials, finished products, equipment, etc.
The design takes into account the characteristics of the stored materials (dimensions, weight, storage requirements).

Simple rectangular building forms without internal supports are used for the most efficient use of space.
Frame structures made of steel or reinforced concrete are the most common.

The height of warehouse premises reaches 10-14 m to accommodate multi-tier racking systems. Cargo unloading zones and areas for
manoeuvring machinery are provided.

Floors are finished with an anti-dust coating with high wear resistance and strength for intensive forklift traffic.
The layout of driveways and walkways is set out.

Hangars and warehouse terminals are equipped with fire alarm, alert and fire suppression systems.
Office and amenity spaces for staff are provided.
