Foundation: Reliability, Technology, and Durability
The foundation is the most crucial part of construction, as it determines the stability and longevity of your home. At VIGO HOUSE, we use modern geo-screws that are installed with high precision and meet all building standards. This approach is not only used in private housing but also in skyscraper and multi-story construction, highlighting the reliability and versatility of the technology.
Why is a VIGO HOUSE Foundation Better Than Traditional Concrete?
Resistance to Corrosion and Loads
- Geo-screws are made from high-quality materials and undergo factory processing:
- Corrosion protection: Advanced anti-corrosion coatings protect the screws even in aggressive soils.
- High load-bearing capacity: Geo-screws can support not only private homes but also multi-story buildings, used in bridge and skyscraper construction.
Depth Below Frost Level
- No home shifting: Seasonal soil changes do not affect foundation stability.
- Energy efficiency: The floor remains warm as cold from the ground does not transfer through the foundation.
Minimal Earthworks
- Time and cost savings: No need for additional soil leveling or waste removal.
- Clean construction site: Installation does not disrupt the landscape, ideal for compact plots.
Unique Features of the VIGO HOUSE Foundation

Reliable on Complex Soils
- Strip foundations require costly ground leveling and reinforcement.
- Geo-screws adapt perfectly to uneven terrain and weak or shifting soil.
Water and Frost Resistance
- Concrete foundations are prone to damage from constant moisture and freezing ground.
- Geo-screws have anti-corrosion coatings, remain intact in any conditions.
Cost Efficiency

Why Transparency in Pricing Matters
Many clients come to us after experiencing incomplete offers from other companies. One of our clients, for example, initially chose a project with a low price, but later discovered:
- The price did not include windows, doors, heating, or water heaters.
- Water drainage systems and utility connections had to be ordered separately.
- Interior finishing was offered only through subcontractors, significantly increasing costs.
When the client requested a full cost breakdown, the final price turned out to be higher than our offer, along with additional hassle in finding subcontractors.
Conclusion
At VIGO HOUSE, we ensure that building your home is clear, fair, and transparent. We specify what is included in the price and what requires additional costs so that you know exactly what you are paying for and avoid surprises.
With VIGO HOUSE, you have a reliable partner who cares about your time, budget, and comfort. Contact us today to start your project with confidence!
