Steps to installing the floating house
The installation of a floating building consists of a number of steps that, with proper planning and execution, will ensure a safe and successful construction. Here are some steps that are usually part of this process:
- Selection of installation site: Choose a suitable location for the floating house, taking into account the depth of the water, the orientation of the shore and any environmental factors such as waves or currents.
- Swimming facility design: Preparation of complete design documentation for the authority. A stable base and a modern, lightweight superstructure are essential factors when designing a floating building.
- Obtaining permits: ensure that all necessary permits are obtained for the installation site and the floating installation. This includes consultation and approval with water authorities, municipalities or other competent authorities.
- Construction of a float in a workshop: according to the design documentation, the construction of the floating plant and superstructure will be carried out at PRO-CON's site in Vac.
- Construction and coastal inspection: a coastal inspection must be carried out before the construction of the swimming pool is reported ready, and if approved, the facility can be transported and assembled at the installation site.
- Placing in water: After a successful shore survey, the structure is ready for use, it must be placed in the water by crane and the connection points secured.
- Finishing works: commissioning and other interior finishing works to make the swimming pool a comfortable and homely place to live.
The installation process may vary depending on the type and size of the floating building. It is important that all steps are carefully planned and executed to ensure the safety, durability and functionality of the floating building.

- Quality of materials: the quality of the materials used for the construction of floating houses and houseboats has a big influence on the price. For example, higher quality and more durable materials, such as stainless steel or wood, can be more expensive than more standard materials.
- Equipment and furnishings: the equipment and furnishings of the houseboat or floating house also have a significant impact on the price. For example, luxury fittings, kitchen and bathroom facilities, navigation and safety equipment can increase the price of the boat.
