The process involved in constructing a residential complex.

Building a residential complex requires meticulous planning, coordination between experts in the field, precision and professionalism.

 

Of course factors such as location, design and quality of construction are as important as the creation of a space that conveys the spirit of the community and contains all the necessary elements to facilitate the living of the residents.

 

What does the process of realizing these complexes consist of?

 

Initial Phase

 

The first step is to select the ideal site through the analysis of location, accessibility and market requirements. Once the suitable place is identified, for the construction of the structures of the complex, the purchase negotiations begin.

 

Planning

Designers, engineers and architects work closely together to develop a comprehensive plan for the residential complex. This includes the conception of the structure, the planning of the number of floors, the design of the building and the amenities it will provide to improve the overall quality of life of the future residents.

 

Legal Aspect

Obtaining the necessary permits and approvals from local authorities is a crucial step in the construction process. By contacting the regulatory bodies we ensure that we are in agreement with the building code and local regulation, respect the environmental and safety standards

 

Preparation of the ground

 

Once all the necessary permits are secured, the site preparation begins. This includes clearing the land, grading the terrain and preparing the foundation. In this phase, the water, electricity and sewerage network is also built.

 

Construction phases

Of course, the construction process is divided into separate stages.

• The pouring of concrete to provide a stable base of the buildings
• The main structure: side walls, floors and ceilings with high quality materials and qualified workforce.
• Installation of plumbing, electrical and other installations that ensure functionality and comfort.
• Completion of interior spaces such as laying the floor and painting the walls, etc.
• Finishing the facade, cladding material, windows and doors ensuring the functionality of the residential complex.

 

Control of quality parameters

 

Throughout the construction process, rigorous controls are applied to ensure that quality and high construction standards are maintained. Regular inspections are carried out by our team and third party inspectors to identify and deal with any problems immediately.

 

With dedication, expertise and commitment, from the initial selection of the territory to the completion of construction, every step of the process is best planned so that we not only meet, but also exceed the expectations of our customers.

 

The residential complex is now ready to welcome new residents.

SAFETY IN CONSTRUCTION. IMPORTANCE AND NECESSARY MEASURES

Safety in construction is non-negotiable. Let’s bring it into focus a bit and go deeper into the information on the precautions that ensure a safe working environment for the workers themselves.

Human lives

The welfare of workers is always the primary concern, given the hazardous nature of construction.

 The law

Beyond ethics, compliance with safety regulations is a legal obligation. Strict security measures not only protect workers, but also protect the company from legal consequences and punitive measures in monetary value.

Productivity and efficiency

A safe work environment removes distractions, promotes focus and increases concentration, translating into productivity. Avoiding hazards and accidents ensures that construction projects are executed as efficiently as possible.

Cost savings

Security is an investment that pays off. By preventing accidents and injuries, a construction company saves on medical expenses, compensation claims and huge financial losses as a result of legal penalties. Let’s not talk then about the postponement of the project, which also affects the cost.

Reputation and morals

A positive safety culture not only attracts customers, but also attracts qualified workers who value the company for the good working conditions it provides. Reputation is a long-term gain. In terms of morale, when workers feel safe, their enjoyment of going to work increases, avoiding employee turnover and creating a motivated workforce.

Community
Construction projects often affect local communities. Demonstrating a commitment to safety is not only an internal concern, but also a way to show social responsibility and maintain positive relations with the community.

The steps that Ales Construction follows regarding construction safety

1. We conduct thorough risk assessments prior to project initiation to identify and mitigate potential risks.
2. We provide all workers with comprehensive instructions on safety protocols, use of equipment and emergency procedures.
3. We provide personal protective equipment such as helmets, gloves, safety glasses and appropriate uniform to protect workers from specific hazards.
4. We control access to the construction site to prevent unauthorized access, ensuring the safety of workers and the public.
5. We conduct routine inspections of equipment, machinery and the site to identify and promptly address safety concerns.
6. Prepare and communicate emergency response plans, evacuation procedures and first aid protocols.
7. We implement certain measures to prevent falls from heights, such as handrails, safety nets and fall arrest systems.
8. We implement strict protocols for machine operation and maintenance, including regular equipment checks.
9. We regularly review and update security protocols based on ongoing reports to improve security measures.

5 Strengths of a Top Construction Company

Construction companies play a vital role in shaping new environments, infrastructure, and, above all, the progress of our society. However, not all can deliver high-quality services and make their mark with completed projects. To truly succeed, construction companies must exhibit several essential traits to stand out in the market.

Project Quality

Project quality is one of the fundamental elements that sets apart different construction companies. A standout project encompasses a range of criteria, including the use of high-quality materials, the implementation of proper construction techniques, and rigorous inspection throughout the work to ensure project sustainability in line with defined standards, and more.

The primary aim of a quality project isn’t just to construct a structure, but to provide added value for citizens and the city. Project quality remains a continuous challenge for construction companies, requiring complete dedication and the application of the highest construction standards.

Experience:

Furthermore, another crucial point in a construction company is its experience. A rich history in the construction field, combined with a track record of successful projects, instills trust in both customers and partners. A skilled and qualified workforce, renowned for their technical expertise and adherence to best construction practices, provides the assurance of quality work.

Safety and Environmental Concern:

Investing in the safety of workers and environmental care is highly valued in the industry. Workplace safety is non-negotiable, and a company that consistently implements safety practices and guarantees a secure working environment positively impacts worker productivity.

Effective Project Management:

Effective project management is another crucial requirement for a construction company. Ensuring that projects are completed on time and within budget is paramount. To excel in this regard, the company must employ capable managers who are well-prepared to plan, monitor, and successfully coordinate projects.

Reputation and Customer Care:

A construction company takes pride in its reputation, and a good reputation is earned over time. High-quality project execution and customer care lay the strong foundations for a desired reputation. Effective communication skills and customer support make clients feel secure and foster trust in the company, paving the way for positive feedback.

A good image is a highly valuable asset to become the preferred partner for major projects. In this regard, “Ales Construction” projects have made a lasting impact and are easily noticeable in everyday life due to their quality and aesthetics.

In conclusion, if you are seeking a construction company to bring your projects to life, it’s imperative that they embody the above criteria. “Ales Construction,” is committed to providing the highest quality services and making a lasting impact in the market.

Albania’s skyscrapers, by Ales Construction!

As you walk the streets of Tirana, surely from time to time, your eyesight will encounter some beautiful, “gigantic” buildings that dazzle you for a few minutes. And after you see them, comment on them, and appreciate them, have you ever asked yourself how what you have in front of you came into existence? After some of the most beautiful projects in our country, the name Ales Construction is precisely hidden.

Our activity began in 1999 as a small construction company in the newly established construction market in Albania. The challenges we faced made us love even more what we were creating. Thanks to our passion for beauty and our love for the work, we succeeded in bringing to life the desires of everyone who entrusted us with their faith.

Our qualified and experienced staff, composed of architects, construction engineers, economists, technicians, marketing managers, and more than 150 skilled construction workers and specialists, have turned into reality every project that was once just an idea in someone’s mind.

Let’s together take a look at a very small part of our dreamers of the sky.

The Plazza

And who doesn’t know one of the most prestigious hotels in our country? “Tha Plazza” has been recognized as the highest tower in the city, with 4 underground floors and 24 upper floors.

With its style and uniqueness, this tower marked an achievement not only for Albania but also beyond.

Its grandeur is also evident in the panoramic views it offers. Every visitor has the opportunity to enjoy a complete view of Tirana.

4Ever Green Tower

Did you know that the Forever Green Tower is one of the tallest buildings in the Balkans? This tower stands at 85 meters in height and serves as a multifunctional building. It occupies an area of more than 12,400 square meters and has over 20 floors, four of which are underground.

The tower features four levels of underground parking, retail spaces, shops, seven levels of offices, eight levels of residential units, and a hotel that offers a panoramic view of the city.

In terms of design, the Forever Green Tower minimizes its footprint on the ground, with a narrow base and further expansion as it rises in height. 

Unique and beautiful, right?

Air Albania Tower

We believe that the Air Albania Tower is one of those buildings that cannot escape the eyesight of anyone who visits Tirana at least once. The tower is a powerful identifying element of the complex, being the most prominent part of it.

The colors used would undoubtedly be identifiers of our country: red and black, a combination that makes this tower even more dominant.

DownTown One Albania

Downtown One Albania is the first of its kind in Albania! It’s a construction consisting of 40 above-ground floors and 5 underground parking levels. This multifunctional building is located in the heart of the capital city.

The building offers an ideal combination of luxurious residential apartments, contemporary offices, and commercial spaces. This project, which brings novelty in functionality, architecture, construction parameters, and environmental protection approach, is expected to be fully operational by 2024.

In addition to all the facilities, residents of this building will have the privilege of enjoying the best of Tirana with a panoramic view from the height of their apartments. For nature enthusiasts, they can admire the panorama with the greenery and freshness of Parku i Liqenit. And for those who prefer a bit more “dynamism,” they can enjoy the view from Skënderbej Square.

The Tirana International 

Hotel is a 33-floors tower located in the heart of Tirana. This tower is an extension of the existing “Tirana International” hotel, but, this time it came as a five-star hotel.

What immediately catches your attention are the simple geometric shapes that have been used, specifically two cuboids that differ not only in material but also in color. A classic contrast of gold with black colour, wich gives such a beautiful view of the tower.

If you’re curious about the interior of the hotel, we can tell you that the hotel rooms are oriented towards the square, the center of the capital, with a view from the south with sunlight. This layout not only provides guests with the comforts the hotel offers but also the perfect location and orientation towards the city.

Lion Park

“Lion Park” is another one of our projects! This building offers 13 residential floors, while the ground floor consists of service units. It also has 3 underground parking levels.

The key architectural element of this structure is the balconies with organic shapes accompanied by concrete parapets with the same shapes. These balconies host a variety of typical plants from the region and climate.

Even though the same architectural language is maintained from the ground floor to the 13th floor, it repeats itself, adapting to the surfaces of each floor.

Tirana’s Rock

One of the most unique constructions is undoubtedly Tirana’s Rock. This tower is designed in the shape of the National Hero of Albania, Gjergj Kastrioti. Standing at 85 meters in height “Tirana’s Rock” brings a fresh perspective to the existing elements of Albanian architecture.

The extraordinary and distinctive shape of the tower is achieved through balconies that create an envelope around the entire building. Details of the face, such as the nose, ears, and chin, are mimicked through sculpted projections that create a delicate yet intricate geometry. The balconies also allow the interior spaces of the building to have a more rational layout while providing shade and comfort for the outdoor areas.

Today, after so many years of experience, we find ourselves as one of the most active construction companies in Albania, engaged in investments, construction, and design projects. We continuously strive to offer quality, accuracy, and optimal fulfillment of plans in all our endeavors.

How many beautiful things are still waiting for us ahead!

THE POWER OF COOPERATION – A NECESSITY SUSTAINABLE BUILDING

With a long history of projects in the field of construction, we can already say that Ales Construction is based on a very important pillar that leads to success: Cooperation!

With a rich history of successful ventures on our shoulders, we attribute our achievements to the consistent and unwavering commitment displayed during the collaboration process.

Bringing engineers, architects, and contractors together from the beginning of the design phase, we continue to produce projects that are characterized by efficiency, cost effectiveness and sustainability.

An illustration of Ales Construction’s collaborative commitment is embodied in the Univers City project, in partnership with Balfin Group. An ambitious project that resulted in the creation of a complex with residential spaces, commercial spaces, offices, a park, sports fields, children’s playgrounds, packing areas, etc.

This project stands as a testament to the common cooperative approach where all parties interacted smoothly to adapt to the various requirements in everyone’s interest.

Utilizing strategic construction acumen, we ensured design optimization, efficiency and cost effectiveness so that the project was on schedule and on budget.

Our principles of cooperation extend to projects of all scales such as building residential spaces in Kukës, for the residents of the city or the surrounding areas; also for immigrants born in search of properties. All this while actively engaging with the local community.

We believe that through early stage collaboration, early addressing of potential issues and providing efficient solutions is the key to creating successful projects.

So let’s work together to make the vision a reality.
