Everything you need to know about building with CIRCL

The price of a CIRCL home is almost entirely all-inclusive. This includes the foundations, structural work, technical installations, complete interior finishing (kitchen, bathroom, flooring), the EPB file, the blower door test and all official inspections. Not included are the architect's fee and the connection costs for utilities. This allows you to build with maximum financial security and without unexpected costs.

Yes. Every CIRCL home is custom-made, fully adapted to your plot and personal living requirements. Thanks to a well-thought-out prefab system, CIRCL combines architectural freedom with extremely fast execution. Flat or sloping roofs and open, semi-open or closed structures are all possible.

Building with CIRCL costs around €1,750 per m² (excluding VAT), depending on the desired finishes and the complexity of the project. The main advantage is the fixed total price announced in advance, meaning you will never have any unpleasant surprises during construction. To find out the average cost of a new build in 2025, we recommend Livios.be. https://www.livios.be/fr/article/23709/en-2025-une-maison-neuve-coute-en-moyenne-2-400-eurosm2/

You retain complete freedom to choose both the interior and exterior finishes for your home in the showrooms of our specialist partners, such as Janssens en zonen and DESCO. While we have selected the construction materials to offer the highest quality guarantees, the design, layout and aesthetic finish of your kitchen, bathroom and floors remain 100% customised. Our team of architects and interior designers is also on hand to advise you on making the right choices for your dream home.

CIRCL builds with everything fully prepared, whereas in traditional construction many decisions are only made on site. At CIRCL, the design, techniques and implementation are worked out digitally in advance. This ensures a fixed price, a short construction time and no unexpected additional costs, whereas traditional construction often struggles with delays and improvisation.

CIRCL builds faster because the home is largely prefabricated off-site in a controlled factory environment. Only the assembly and final finishing take place on site. Thanks to this digital preparation and standardisation, the actual construction time for a reference home is only 12 weeks.

Prefabricated and modular construction means that the walls, floors and technical modules are manufactured in advance at the factory and assembled on site as a high-quality construction kit. This ensures greater precision, fewer errors, less waste and a significantly shorter construction time, without compromising on customisation or quality.

Yes. On average, a CIRCL home offers approximately 7% more net living space than a traditionally built home with the same external dimensions. This is achieved through slim, smart structures and compact technologies, leaving more usable living space within the same building volume.

Every CIRCL home easily meets the BEN (Nearly Energy Neutral) standard and achieves impressively low E and S levels. Recent projects scored E3 (Keerbergen), E4 (Tervuren) and even E-7 (Diest), with S levels between 19 and 25. This means your home is already ready for the energy standards of the future.

Architects recommend providing a standard clear internal height of at least 2.65 metres in all living areas of your home. CIRCL applies this in all living areas. This generous height creates a feeling of spaciousness and luxury, contributing to optimal living comfort.

Yes. Solar panels are included as standard in every CIRCL home. They are an integral part of our energy-neutral concept and ensure significantly lower energy bills from day one.

CIRCL uses a geothermal heat pump in combination with underfloor heating as standard. This system provides extremely efficient heating, passive cooling in summer and a constant level of comfort, without the need for visible appliances or ventilation boxes in the home.

Yes. CIRCL builds with approximately 70% bio-based and 40% recycled materials. The combination of prefab and circular construction reduces construction waste by 70% and significantly lowers CO2 emissions during the construction process.

Yes, at CIRCL, it is possible to purchase a shell house, which we deliver wind and watertight, including the façade cladding and all technical installations. With this option, you are entirely responsible for the interior finishing, after we have put in place the complex structure and technical systems in a well-designed package. Although we focus on ready-to-move-in houses, we offer the necessary flexibility to builders who prefer to complete certain rooms or the entire finish themselves.

Circular construction means that a CIRCL home consists of demountable and adaptable elements. This makes maintenance easier, future modifications more efficient and significantly reduces the total life cycle cost of your home.

Building with CIRCL is financially advantageous due to lower energy consumption, reduced maintenance costs and the guarantee of zero additional costs. In addition, you save on bridging loans thanks to the short construction time and the property enjoys a higher resale value due to the sustainable materials used.

Yes, CIRCL can also build flats; take a look at our successful project in Roeselare. For larger flat projects or project development, CIRCL always takes a selective and project-based approach to partnerships in order to guarantee the highest quality.

At CIRCL, you pay 0% deposit. You only start paying once the work has actually commenced. Each payment is then made exclusively according to the actual progress of the work, in full compliance with the Breyne Act. This limits your financial risk to the absolute minimum.

The Breyne Act protects you as a builder by imposing a fixed price, payment based on the progress of the work and a financial guarantee. However, CIRCL goes beyond the legal requirement of 5% and offers a 100% completion guarantee. This gives you absolute certainty that your home will always be completed.

Yes. Banks recognise CIRCL properties as fully-fledged housing for the purpose of granting a mortgage. Thanks to their fixed price, low energy costs and the solidity of the construction groups behind them (Vanhout Group and BESIX), CIRCL projects enjoy a high level of confidence among all financial institutions. Our partners: Groupe Vanhout (€250 million in turnover) and BESIX Group (€3.5 billion in turnover)
