our Crews
Somundy Enterprises provides designs for
several pre-engineered homes. However, we understand that every
person and every country has a different vision of their community.
For that reason, Somundy Enterprises provides the building materials
for any home design. In fact, we highly encourage the use of home
designs that are more consistent with local and regional values.
We call it Cultural Integration, which is simply the integration
of our products and technologies into cultural values as they relate
to homes and communities.
Our team of architects, engineers and estimators can covert any
home design into a steel framed structure implementing all of the
supporting materials to make your homes look and feel familiar.
There's only one way to address worldwide
demand for housing and that's by having a system in place to ship
tens of thousands of houses annually to all parts of the globe.
Somundy Enterprises utilizes a large staff of highly trained personnel
utilizing the latest and most comprehensive e-commerce software,
combined with an arsenal of trucks, warehouses, suppliers and freight
companies to get the materials from the manufacturer's facilities
to job sites and shipping terminals, across the country and around
the world. (Return to top)
Somundy Enterprises has a training program
in place that teach's your crews of skilled and unskilled labor
all aspects of framing with light gauge steel in as little as five
days. So when the foundations are complete, walls will begin going
up the next day. Our personnel will also assist in everything from
the organizing of materials to training crew members in the safe
and proper use of the tools. Your workers will welcome the shift
from the tedious, heavy and time consuming methods of tradition
construction to the use of state-of-the-art tools and lightweight
building technologies.(Return to top)
Somundy Enterprises products, especially
the steel framing components, are lightweight and easy to use. Our
training personnel will teach your crews production methods that
once implemented will pave the way for building hundreds, thousands
and tens of thousands of homes in a safe, quality oriented, efficient
and productive manner.(Return to top)
The world needs millions, if not billions of homes. Meeting even
a fraction of that demand will take lifetimes. But at Somundy Enterprises,
we know we can make a difference by providing low cost homes that
incorporate the advanced methods and procedures for building homes
in very large quantities. We know we may never house every person
in need, but with the world's assistance, we intend to try.
Somundy Enterprises offers architectural
and engineering services for generating steel frame home plans.
Specifically, we draft and engineer steel frame home plans and construction
drawings for your custom steel frame home project. We convert your
standard wood or concrete home plans to steel frame home plans.
We can convert virtually any standard home plan to our steel frame
home plans and erection drawings. (Return to top)
We will provide you with a complete list
of the steel framing materials and fasteners you will need to frame
the home to our plans.
Our plans and drawings were created with the do-it-yourself and
first-time steel framer in mind. Emphasis was given on their clarity
and comprehension. Furthermore, they are COMPLETE! Complete in the
sense that every stud, every angle clip, every connection, is drawn
and/or detailed for complete understanding and clarity. We believe
there exist no clearer, better understood, and more complete steel
frame home plans on the market today! Nevertheless, if the customer
ever has a question regarding anything in our plans, our technical
support is always available to them during normal business hours.
Typically, we can offer our customers our steel frame home plan
service for as little as €8.00 a square meter. (Based upon
the total square footage of the structure under roof.)

Our steel framing crews build steel frame
homes worldwide year round, whereas most local crews are simply
not experienced in building with steel or only have very limited
experience with one or two types of steel frame homes. Furthermore,
we only build steel frame homes which give our customers the reassurance
that their homes are being constructed with our experience, knowledge,
and skill in steel framing. Lastly, with every home we frame we
offer full technical support throughout the construction of your
home. This support ranges from answering questions your subcontractors
may have to suggestions we have on how to reduce your overall construction
cost. If you are planning on building a steel frame home, we strongly
recommend that you have it framed by experienced residential steel
framers and hope that you choose us to erect your home the right
way. (Return to top)
We provide erection/framing crews anywhere
in the world to erect/frame steel frame home packages. All of our
crews are 'in house' and we do not subcontract to other companies
or framing crews. As such, we are able to maintain the quality from
our own people that has grown our company over the years and built
our reputation as the nation's best steel frame home erection service
provider. Our erection/framing services are offered to our customers
in the following hourly format:
1. We usually provide a crew of 4 to 5 framers at a rate of €20.00
per hour per framer
2. We require an additional €50.00 per day per framer for the
framers' lodging cost and daily expenses (i.e. food, laundry, etc.)
3. We charge a one time travel fee to get our crew and equipment
to your jobsite and back. This travel fee is determined by the location
of the customer. (Return to top)
Our fees are for 'labor only' and, as such,
we do not supply any materials or necessary rental equipment needed
for the framing of your home. Our framers work 6 days a week and
take off 1 day a week for rest. The €50.00 per day per framer
expense charge would apply to the days our framers work and for
one additional day a week that they take off for rest. If they take
off more than one day a week (i.e. due to inclimate weather) you
do not have to pay the expense charge for the additional day(s)
our crews have taken off for that week.
Our crews are hired as 'framing labor' and, therefore, if you are
not satisfied with our work or services you can let us go at any
time without breach of contract. You would only have to pay us for
the time ours crews worked and their expenses to the date you decided
to let them go. It is worth noting, that our crews have never been
let go from a job because a customer was unhappy with their performance
or work . . . but it may make you feel better about our hourly billing
system knowing that you can let us go at any time for any reason.
Our contract clearly states all of this.
Please understand, to be fair to all customers, we schedule jobs
in the order in which we receive signed contracts and the required
travel fee as a deposit.
We can usually accommodate special requests, i.e. to provide only
2 supervisors and you provide the labor, etc. Given the unique nature
of such requests, we must discuss the request with you in detail
and then offer you a price for the request. Briefly put, the standard
rates offered above may not apply with all requests. (Return
