Custom Properties in Cyprus - Construction Index

Many buyers are forsaking the property developers and building custom homes to their individual needs. They first buy land and then have a property designed and built to their specifications. In this gallery you'll find a photographic diary of the building of my custom home from start to finish.

Built of concrete and brick, I hope this these will give you a better appreciation of the way Cyprus properties should be built. Hopefully, they'll give you look out for when inspecting your potential new home or investment property.

I've organised the photos to show the different phases of construction, starting with site preparation and finishing with the property's completion. Click on the menu to the left, or any of the photos below, to go to the appropriate gallery.
