Natura Design -Lanzarote Builders

We have started to build the internal walls for the second villa and our electrician is installing the plastic conduits, plug and switch sockets for the electrics to be run through at the final stage of building, when the villas are nearly completed.

The plumbing has been installed for the first villa, below you can see the external junction box for the hot and cold water, the waist system for one of the bathrooms and the drain on the roof for the rain water.

It is far better to have internal water drainage from the roofs in the design and build of a new villa as the traditional water spouts that many new constructions have, often courses damp in the walls where the water runs down them.

On the first new villa construction we have built the parapets and screeded the roof, allowing sufficient fall for the water to drain away. This is a time consuming process but must be done correctly to ensure that there are no future problems concerning drainage and leaky roofs. It is also very important to finish the roofs before starting to plaster inside the villas as rain is inevitable this time of the year and the last thing you want is damaged plaster.

We then render the roof ready for the final finish of fiberglass and rubber paint.

The block work for the second roof is  underway and the aluminium company have arrived with the pre-frames which will be fitted before we render the exterior of the villas.

For more information on the design and build of new villas you can visit the Natura Design web site to see all the different building services that we offer.

All the acro props have been removed bar a few and we have started to chop out the walls for the electrical conduits.
