You’re a long way off and you won’t be on site every day. So trust here isn’t built on words but on papers you can read in advance: the contract, how your money is protected, the warranty, the certificates. It’s all in the open — take your time, without me looking over your shoulder.
Not boilerplate with traps buried in it. Download the sample in advance, show it to anyone you like, ask your questions before you sign a thing. I hide nothing in the small print.
The very contract we’ll sign: a fixed price, stages and deadlines, the warranty. I’ll send you the current version and we’ll go through it clause by clause when we talk — do check it with your solicitor.
I’ll send the current version when we talkWhich SNiP and GOST standards I work to, and how long each stage takes to hand over. Deadlines are written as figures, not as “roughly”.
Request · works scheduleWhat you need to know once you’ve moved in: ventilation, heating the house through, caring for the façade. So the home lasts as long as it should and the warranty stays valid.
Request · owner’s handbookThis is the most common fear on a build you can’t watch. That’s why I don’t take a large deposit for the whole house. You pay for materials as they are bought — the receipts and delivery notes stay in your hands. For the work itself there’s a small deposit of 10–15%, and after that you pay against acts for stages already completed. Not done, not paid.
Five years on the structure — foundations, walls, roof, load-bearing junctions — written into the contract. If a defect appears within that time through my fault, I put it right at my own cost. The terms and what is covered are set out in their own section of the contract, with no asterisks.
An illustration of how payment works. The exact order and timing of payments is set out in your contract.
On a build you never see in person it’s easy to bring in something cheaper. Not here: every material comes with a certificate, and I photograph each stage — so you can see what went in and how, even from hundreds of miles away.
Aerated concrete, reinforcement, waterproofing, insulation — data sheets and certificates of conformity for every batch. We buy what’s in the estimate, not whatever is cheaper.
Request · certificatesPhotographic records of concealed work — reinforcement, junctions, waterproofing — taken before any of it is covered up. A photo report for every stage reaches you even when you’re nowhere near the site.

Individual entrepreneur K.S. GoncharikEvery stage is closed off with an act: what was done, how it was accepted, what backs it up. You sign only when you’re happy with it — and that works perfectly well remotely.
Request · the acceptance act formI send documents on request — leave me a contact and I’ll have them in your messenger the same day.
A short one-page checklist: what to ask a builder, which clauses to look for in the contract, and where clients on a remote build most often come unstuck. Five minutes to read — and you’ll be talking to me as an equal.
