Dom ot Profi: House Projects Bot

You decided to build a house and now you are lost in websites, phone calls and promises of a "turnkey" job. The Dom ot Profi bot puts the first contact into one chat: press Start and you get a catalog of projects and a construction cost estimate 🏡.

It does not replace a consultation. It is a quick way to see where to start and roughly what your idea may cost.

Who is behind it

Dom ot Profi designs and builds houses in Moscow and the Moscow region. The main line is warm stone houses made of aerated concrete, plus frame construction.

The company states that more than 500 houses in the region were built to its designs. That figure comes from its own site, so ask about it at a meeting and ask to see finished objects.

What the bot sends

• Project catalog. Ready-made houses you can browse without a trip to the office.
• Cost estimate. A budget guideline you can take into a conversation with a manager.

Start with the catalog. Note two or three houses you like for size and layout, and only then count the money.

Picking a project by size

The company groups its projects by area: up to 100 square meters, 100 to 200, 200 to 300, and over 300. The same logic works well for your own choice.

A small house is cheaper to run. A large one gives space but costs more for heating, utilities and cleaning.

1. Count the residents. How many people live there all year and how many guests visit.
2. Set a budget with a cushion. Keep a reserve for surprises, at least a tenth of the total.
3. Check the plot. Its size, slope and soil decide what house can stand there.

What the design package and supervision cover 📐

The company prepares an architectural and structural package. It includes floor plans, facades, sections, 3D views, a site layout, a window and door schedule and an explanatory note.

The company also says technical supervision visits each site at least 16 times. Ask how those visits are documented and if you get written reports afterward.

Questions to ask before you sign

The bot estimate is preliminary. The final price depends on the plot, materials, utilities and finishing.

• What the estimate includes. Foundation, shell, roof, windows, utilities: which are covered and which cost extra.
• Deadlines and penalties. Whether stage dates and responsibility for delays are written down.
• Warranty. Which works are covered and for how long.
• Payment schedule. Pay by stages, not the whole sum up front.

Visit a finished house and talk to the owners. It beats any presentation.

Who will find it useful

People choosing a plot or a design who want numbers fast without talking to a manager first. For the final decision you will still need a consultation and a look at your land.
