Assisted, not abandoned
The path can include guidance, documentation, EasyKit, delivery preparation, and assembly support.
What self-build means for Soleta
For Soleta, self-build does not mean building alone without skill, tools, or local responsibility. It means the client can participate in a structured project path, while the local team handles the legal, technical, physical, and safety responsibilities required on site.
Local team required
Skilled local builders and professionals remain essential for execution and compliance.
Scope must be clear
Plans, EasyKit, support, and local work must be separated before assembly.
Preparation matters
Most assembly problems begin before assembly: wrong foundation, poor access, missing tools, or unclear responsibilities.
The assembly path
Step 1
Choose the model
The model controls documentation, EasyKit scope, and assembly logic.
Step 2
Choose the plan package
Planning Information or Complete Project sets the documentation basis.
Step 3
Review local requirements
Permits, engineering, foundation, MEP, and site rules must be checked locally.
Step 4
Decide EasyKit scope
Core or Extended should be chosen after model and responsibilities are clearer.
Step 5
Prepare delivery
Access, unloading, storage, and weather protection must be planned.
Step 6
Prepare the local team
Builders, engineer, site supervisor, lifting equipment, tools, and safety must be aligned.
Step 7
Add support if needed
Remote, Checkpoint, or Dedicated Assembly Support can help reduce confusion.
What EasyKit helps with
EasyKit can make the local assembly path more controlled by preparing selected components, structural GLULAM logic, package notes, labeling, delivery preparation, and assembly documentation. Final scope depends on model, Core or Extended package, production rules, and verified project details.
Prepared package logic
Core and Extended can reduce some local sourcing uncertainty, depending on verified scope.
GLULAM structure
The structural GLULAM logic can help organize assembly sequence and checkpoints.
Labeled components
Prepared and labeled elements can make local handling clearer.
Documentation connection
EasyKit works best when connected to the correct plan package and local review.
What still remains local
EasyKit and assembly support do not remove the local side of the project.
Permits and approvals
Local authorities define what is required.
Local engineering
Structure, loads, foundation, climate, and code compliance must be checked locally.
Foundation and site work
Soil, slope, drainage, frost, bearing, levels, anchoring, and access are site-specific.
MEP and utilities
Electrical, plumbing, heating, cooling, ventilation, water, sewage, and drainage remain local.
Labour and supervision
Local builders, site supervisor, tools, lifting, safety, and inspections remain local.
Finishes and exterior works
Interiors, terraces, landscaping, paths, drainage, and final works remain local unless verified.
Unloading and storage
Equipment, storage, staging, protection, and inspection on arrival must be locally prepared.
Legal responsibility
Support does not transfer local legal responsibility to Soleta.
Site readiness before assembly
Assembly cannot be clean if the site is not ready.
Access route
Roads, turns, gradients, bridge limits, height, width, and final approach must be reviewed.
Unloading zone
The site needs safe space for truck access, lifting equipment, labour, and component staging.
Storage and protection
Components need dry, stable, protected, ventilated storage before assembly.
Foundation readiness
Levels, dimensions, anchoring, bearing points, moisture protection, and tolerances must be checked locally.
Weather plan
Rain, snow, wind, mud, heat, and humidity can affect delivery, storage, and assembly.
Local team readiness
Builders, engineer, site supervisor, lifting equipment, tools, and safety plan must be prepared.
The foundation interface is critical
Prepared structural components are unforgiving when the foundation is wrong. If the foundation dimensions, levels, bearing points, anchors, or tolerances do not match the structural logic, assembly can be delayed, corrected, or made more expensive.
Check dimensions before delivery
Local professionals must verify the foundation matches the selected model and package requirements.
Check levels and tolerances
Accurate levels and bearing points matter for prefabricated assembly.
Coordinate anchoring
Anchors, plates, moisture barriers, and connection zones must be locally reviewed.
Do not improvise late
Fixing a wrong foundation after delivery can create cost, delay, and rework.
Use checkpoints
Foundation interface is a good moment for checkpoint support if the local team needs review.
Local team roles
A successful local assembly path needs clear roles before the kit arrives.
Client / owner
Chooses model direction, coordinates local team, prepares decisions, and accepts local responsibility.
Local engineer
Reviews structure, loads, foundation, code compliance, and required sign-off.
Local builder / assembly team
Executes the physical assembly, tools, lifting, protection, and site work.
Site supervisor
Coordinates safety, sequencing, labour, inspections, and daily site decisions.
MEP professionals
Handle electrical, plumbing, heating, cooling, ventilation, water, sewage, and utilities.
Soleta support
Helps clarify documentation, package logic, checkpoints, and support questions depending on selected level.
Assembly support levels
Support can help the local team, but it does not replace the local team.

Common mistakes in self-build assembly
1
Thinking self-build means no professionals
Local builders, engineers, and site supervisors remain essential.
2
Starting assembly before foundation verification
Foundation mismatch can create serious delay and rework.
3
Ignoring delivery and storage
Poor unloading or exposed storage can damage components before assembly starts.
4
Treating EasyKit as turnkey
EasyKit is not a finished house and does not replace local labour or MEP.
5
Skipping safety planning
Lifting, tools, scaffolding, PPE, and site safety must be handled locally.
6
Waiting too long to ask for support
Support is most useful before delivery and before critical assembly stages.
Self-Build & Assembly FAQ
Can I assemble a Soleta house myself?
Client participation may be possible, but skilled local builders, professionals, tools, safety planning, and local compliance remain essential.
Does EasyKit include assembly labour?
No. EasyKit is a package path, not local construction labour.
Does assembly support mean Soleta builds the house?
No. Assembly support helps your local team; it does not replace the local team.
What is the most important thing before assembly?
Local requirements, foundation interface, delivery access, unloading, storage, and local team readiness.
Can support fix a wrong foundation?
No. Foundation accuracy must be verified locally before assembly.
Do I need a local engineer?
Local engineering review is usually necessary and must be confirmed according to local rules.
Is EasyKit Core easier than Extended?
Core has a narrower scope; Extended has a broader scope. The easier path depends on model, site, team, and risk.
