Saffin is a general contractor for construction and renovation. Alongside construction, we also provide air conditioning and ventilation, plumbing and heating, and complete documentation and permitting — so throughout the project you deal with a single general contractor.
From surveying and project preparation through to handover of the finished work. We cover most trades with our own capacity, so a single contractor is responsible for both the schedule and the quality.
We carry out new builds and renovations of residential and commercial buildings — including loft conversions, groundworks and earthworks, and turnkey family houses. We manage the project as general contractor, from project preparation through to handover.

The right type is chosen according to the building's layout, the plot and the heating system. The design is based on a heat-loss calculation for the specific building; the overview below summarises the variants that may be considered. We hold all the certificates and professional qualifications required for installing and servicing heat pumps.
Extracts heat from the outdoor air and transfers it to the heating system and to domestic hot water. The outdoor unit sits by the house, with the indoor part in the utility room.
Heat from the outdoor air is transferred directly into rooms by indoor units. The same unit provides cooling in summer; technically, it is air conditioning with a heating function.
Heat from deep boreholes on the plot. The source has a stable temperature year-round, so output does not drop even at low outdoor temperatures, and running costs are the lowest.
Piping laid at frost-free depth across the garden area. A less capital-intensive version of a ground-source pump that does not require boreholes.
Heat from groundwater: from the abstraction well, through a heat exchanger, and back to the infiltration well. Given a sufficient source, it achieves the highest efficiency of all the variants.
For every type we provide the design, supply, installation, commissioning, servicing and regular inspections. For boreholes and wells, we also arrange the hydrogeological survey and permits.
Our clients include municipalities, towns and city districts, other public institutions, as well as companies and private investors. Contracts for public contracting authorities involve tenders, ongoing inspections and formal handovers; we apply the same approach to contracts for private investors.

Saffin has been active on the market since 1998. Over that time, technologies, standards and investor expectations have changed; what has not changed is the principle that every project is led by a specific person responsible for it.
We take on projects that match our capacity, and we only confirm deadlines once we are confident we can meet them.
We cover most trades with our own capacity; for specialised work we cooperate with long-established, trusted partners and subcontractors, which simplifies coordination on site and reduces downtime.
