How Soleta works with international clients

What Soleta can usually coordinate

Across most projects, regardless of country, the following are typically coordinated directly by our team:

• Architectural concept and model adaptation

  Adapting a collection model — or developing a custom direction — to your site, brief and local context.

• Project scope definition

  Defining, with you, what falls within our direct delivery and what will depend on local execution.

• Timber, glulam and package specification

  Specifying the structural system and package appropriate to your climate, site conditions and applicable standards.

• Manufacturing coordination, where applicable

  Coordinating factory production and transport logistics toward your delivery location, subject to access and route feasibility.

• Documentation support

  Preparing technical documentation to support local permit applications, engineering review, or compliance processes.

• Remote design and delivery coordination

  Managing design development and delivery coordination remotely, with site visits and milestones agreed per project.

• Collaboration with local professionals

  Working alongside your architect, engineer, or local contractor where local expertise and presence are required.

What remains local or project-dependent

The following usually remain local or project-dependent, and are outside our direct control. We clarify what applies to your project during feasibility, before any commitment is made:

• Land due diligence — title, zoning, and site-specific legal review
• Permits and legal approvals — requirements, timelines and fees vary by country and municipality
• Local structural adaptation and code compliance, where local regulation requires it
• Foundations and siteworks — dependent on ground conditions assessed at your specific plot
• Utilities and site connections — water, electricity, drainage, and access infrastructure
• Local contractors — for scope not delivered directly by our team
• Customs, taxes, import duties and transport constraints specific to your country
• Inspections, certifications, insurance and final compliance sign-off in your jurisdiction

Delivery models

Delivery scope is not one-size-fits-all. Depending on the country and project scope, the working relationship typically takes one of the following forms:

How international feasibility is assessed

• Country and site

  The specific country, region and plot shape what is realistic and what requires local input.

• Access and logistics

  Transport routes, site access and delivery logistics are assessed for feasibility and cost implications.

• Local regulations

  Planning, building code and permit requirements vary significantly by jurisdiction and are reviewed early.

• Climate and structural requirements

  Snow load, seismic conditions and other local standards inform the structural specification for your site.

• Delivery scope

  We define, together with you, what we deliver directly and what is coordinated with local partners.

• Local partner availability

  Where extended delivery scope depends on trusted local partners, their availability is confirmed before it is offered.

• Project timeline and budget clarity

  International logistics and local coordination affect both timeline and budget — addressed alongside the process described in Planning & Budget.
