- A villa takes roughly 12–18 months from ground-breaking to handover.
- Each stage closes with a work-completion act — the trigger for your next payment.
- Weekly photo, video and drone reports keep the build visible from anywhere.
- Fit-out and furniture are part of the build, not an afterthought — villas hand over rental-ready.
Between “contract signed” and “keys received” lies a year of work you will watch from your phone. Here is what actually happens on site, stage by stage — and what document lands in your inbox at each step.
The build in five acts
1. Site & foundation — clearing, piling, groundwork. 2. Structure — columns, floors, walls rise; the villa gets its silhouette. 3. Roof & envelope — the build is weather-tight; engineering rough-in begins. 4. Finishes — terrazzo, joinery, bathrooms, pool works. 5. Fit-out & commissioning — furniture from our own production, appliances, smart-home, landscaping; SLF and acceptance.
Your control loop
Every stage ends with an act signed by the project manager — and only then your payment falls due (how instalments work). Weekly reports plus 3D tours of the design mean the first personal visit can be moving-in day.
FAQ
Can I change the layout during construction?
Yes — before the relevant stage starts, layout changes are free under DOMA's principle #6.
What if materials get delayed?
Timeline risks sit with the developer: acts not signed, payments not due. Buffers are built into the schedule.
Can I visit the site?
Any time — and the trust tour combines a site visit with staying at a delivered villa.
