The wooden cottages and house manufacturing company "Cottages Samegrelo Group", located in Zugdidi, is planning to launch manufacturing of ready-made houses this year.
According to Giorgi Shamugia, the executive director of the company, wooden cottages and houses are being built in the company using the Scandinavian frame method. After, the launch of a new manufacturing line, customers will be able to take a ready-made house from the enterprise.
"Our company must make an investment of about GEL 40,000 to launch the new manufacturing line. Accordingly, we decided to participate in the grant program "Enterprise Georgia" and attract resources in this way.
At this stage, the minimum square m of wooden cottages and houses starts from 40 square m. The minimum cost per square m amounts to USD 280.
As for raw materials, we use local and Russian raw materials. The selection of the type of raw material depends on the customer's demand.
We employ a total of 5 people in the company, who provide complete arrangement of the wooden cottage for the customers. However, qualified personnel in the sector is one of the biggest challenges. There is a 442-page standard manual for learning how to build a frame home that no one wants to read. Therefore, the majority of the workers in the market do not have the appropriate education and have only learned by watching or through the internet," Shamugia said.
The wood manufacturing company "Cottages Samegrelo Group" has been operating on the market for 2 years. The company offers customers the construction of wooden cottages and houses, and they have the possibility of delivery to any region throughout Georgia.
