CUSTOM HOME BUILDING PROCESS
9 Steps to your New Home
At JEB-GEES FIRMS Structure, we believe you should be in complete control when it comes to building your new home. This is why we work very closely with you to make the entire process as seamless and transparent as possible. We set a timeline from day one and progress with efficiency until the day you move in.
1. FIND SUITABLE LAND
Your first step
Finding the right lot is the first step towards your new home. We will start your design while taking into consideration the urban or rural location, dimensions, views, sunlight, neighboring environment, your lifestyle and of course your budget.

Working with an external architect
We also welcome the opportunity to collaborate with external architects. You can start from one of our inspirational collections or design a custom home just for you.
4. MEET WITH YOUR BUILDER
While working on the conceptual design, your Design Project Manager will introduce you to several builders and assist you in finding the best match for your project. It is also possible to have your home built by your own trusted general contractor.
The builder will be of great help at this stage to provide a cost-to-build analysis.
Most planning authorities require additional documents to give their green light. Whether it is a tree report or a plumbing layout, our experts will help you find what is needed and how to get it.
5. FINALIZE PLANS FOR PERMIT
Get official construction approval
When the architectural design of your home is complete, the next step is to gather all the documents required for the building permit application, including:
+ Full architectural plans
+ Structural plans
+ Construction details
We will take care of everything!
YOU ARE NOW READY TO BUILD
6. CHOOSE YOUR INTERIOR DESIGN
Select your finishes
It is now time to select finishing materials, from floor finishes to lighting and plumbing fixtures. Our team of experienced Interior Designers will be happy to guide you through the exciting world of textures and materials.
JGF Structure precision allows you to plan everything in advance. You can even order your kitchen cabinets before the foundation is poured.
7. SITE PREPARATION & MANUFACTURING
Work in tandem to accelerate your project’s delivery
While your site is being prepared and the foundation is poured, all JGF Structure components are manufactured locally in one of our 12 North American plants (as of 2016). Using the latest production technologies borrowed from the aerospace and automotive industries, each component is laser-cut to precision.
Site preparation and manufacturing of the JGF Structure components is happening in parallel to accelerate your project delivery.
Site Preparation
Site preparation work includes demolition, excavation, and foundation work as well as any installation below ground.
Manufacturing
Within weeks of the order date, JGF Structure components are shipped ready to assemble to your site. Shipments are timed for “just in time” delivery to minimise on-site staging.
No matter the size of the project, we’re here to make it happen.
8. BONE STRUCTURE SHELL ASSEMBLY
Your home is now taking form quickly
Designed for Efficiency
The engineered components allow for efficient work and respect of your timeline, with everything going to its intended use: no cutting, no welding and no rework. Everything fits perfectly.
The thermal envelope of a JGF Structure home of 3,000 sq.ft. can be assembled in as little as three weeks, without waste or any material surplus.
9. EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR FINISHING
Once the JGF Structure thermal envelope is up, we will complete the exterior finishing. Simultaneously, the interior partitions, electricity, plumbing and HVAC will be assembled to ensure a hassle-free turnkey project.
Exterior Finishes
Harmonious exterior finishes are the key to a beautiful project. The flexibility of the JGF Structure system allows for the use of a variety of exterior finishes. Go traditional with wood, stucco and masonry or contemporary with steel and concrete panels. The choice is yours.
Interior Finishes
The precision of our system enables clear cut details and the minimalist signature look of modern architecture – large doors, overhangs, cantilevers, floor to ceiling windows, and curtain walls with clean lines and unequalled precision
Mechanical, electrical and plumbing
Every opening you will need in a JGF Structure home is precept. Beams are designed with MEP (Mechanical Electrical and Plumbing) and HVAC (Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning) highways. All these systems are easily wired through our walls and ceilings with no cutting and no piercing. Leave that to us.
IT’S TIME TO MOVE IN
It can take as little as 24 weeks for you to move in, from the day we receive the green light for manufacturing.
