The YTONG Family Houses project is conceived to help all those who intend to build a family house. Building a family house is, as a rule, a tough and unpredictable process which very often has its unpleasant surprises for the investor, from the long time it takes to get the designs done and obtain the building permit to the cost overruns. That is why the company Xella porobeton HR d.o.o. (hereinafter: Xella) has developed a project which successfully helps shorten the process of planning and building family houses and ensures the reliability of cost planning for the whole investment. Xellas basic activity is the sale of YTONG construction material, but, due to market demands, an integrated family house construction project has been launched using the YTONG BUILDING SYSTEM. This offer by Xella includes 10 different types of family house designs. The houses are named: NADIJA 07, ANA 07, DIANA 07, SNJEANA 07, SANJA 07, KATARINA 07, DANIJELA 07, DORA 07, NENA 07 and YTONG LOW-ENERGY HOUSE. The projects are created according to the clients wishes: NENA 07 is a house with 2 apartments it can be built as a detached or double house, or as one in a row suitable for an apartment block. Its continental version is christened DORA 07. DIANA 07 is a sizeable house which can be divided into more flats and is designed in the continental style. Its coastal version is ANA 07. NADIJA 07 is a single-storey house without a flat slab. SNJEANA 07 and SANJA 07, as well as KATARINA 07 and DANIJELA 07, are examples of larger and smaller family houses. The LOW-ENERGY YTONG HOUSE project features a special flat-roof design with 36.5 cm thick external walls.
- A house structure consists of 30 cm thick, external, load-carrying YTONG walls for the whole Croatia which provide outstanding thermal insulation; and it consists of 25 cm thick, internal, load-carrying YTONG walls and 15 cm thick partition walls (10 cm with a LOW-ENERGY house) - Ceilings and roofs are made from 15 cm thick supporting grillage structures. All eaves are made of such structures - YTONG houses are built with environmentally sound YTONG material, which, owing to its excellent thermal insulation, micro-climatic and acoustic properties, ensures that you get
YTONG material for the construction of your house according to our or your individual design can also be purchased on credit. Under a special contract between Xella
and the Real Estate Agency (APN) acting on behalf of the Croatian Government, all persons buying or building their first home can raise a loan at a very favourable interest rate for the purchase of any YTONG family house or any YTONG material. Fore more details on these opportunities please visit www.apn.hr.
YTONG HOUSE!
YTONG belongs to the group of POROUS CONCRETE construction materials; it is manufactured only from natural raw materials: lime, sand, water and cement. IT BELONGS TO THE CATEGORY OF MASSIVE ALL-PURPOSE MATERIALS FOR MASONRY, NOT PREFABRICATED CONSTRUCTION, specifically for: - external structural walls - internal structural and partition walls - floor structures, balconies, staircases, flat and sloped roofs
WHAT IS YTONG?
Areas of application: New building Addition Reconstruction and modernisation of buildings Alteration, panelling, insulation
YTONG is used to build: Family houses Apartments blocks Commercial and public buildings Industrial facilities
Basic characteristics of YTONG: natural, healthy, environmentally friendly composition excellent thermal insulation great compressive strength - carrying capacity pleasant micro-climate in a space fire and earthquake resistance humidity and frost resistance optimum sound insulation easy and simple treatment
Characteristics of YTONG construction system: - owing to their excellent insulation, YTONG-built structures possess a pleasant micro-climate, which means that walls are steam-permeable and energy-saving, which shows after some years of use compared to conventional buildings - When building with YTONG, it is not necessary to use additional thermal insulation (which, as a rule, is always expensive), because the YTONG thermoblock in the single-layered wall meets the thermal insulation requirements in compliance with the Technical Regulation concerning energy economy and heat retention in buildings (NN 79/05, 155/05, 74/06)
YTONG line of products is integral, consisting of the following: STANDARD LINE: YTONG thermoblocks, YTONG wall blocks, YTONG wall slabs, YTONG slabs, YTONG earthquake resistant wall blocks, YTONG U- and L-elements and YTONG ceiling filling for a semi-prefab grillage structure. YTONG lintels for bearing and nonbearing walls can be made on the site from YTONG elements. ADDITIONAL LINE: YTONG thinklayered masonry mortar, YTONG tools, YTONG fastening accessories.
- owing to its mineral composition and material structure, YTONG is much more fire-resistant than any other construction material - owing to massive YTONG blocks, thin-layered mortar and single-layered thin plasters, owing to easy and simple construction with YTONG, structures are raised faster by using the YTONG system, as well as by 10-15 % cheaper compared to conventional buildings, if wall finishing is also taken into account - owing to the outstanding compressive strength of YTONG blocks, YTONG buildings are strong, stable and more earthquake-resistant than other construction materials; owing to the integrity of the YTONG system, building with YTONG material is easier all the way from the foundations and up to the roof.

1) PREPARATORY STEPS First, you must be a registered owner of the building land or prove your legal interest. This means that at the land register you must get the land registry certificate not older than 6 months as evidence of your title. Your legal interest is proved by a purchase or donation contract or another deed proving your title to a land not yet registered. Entry of your title in the land register is not yet necessary for submitting your application for the issuance of a decision on the terms and conditions of construction, it will be necessary at the stage shortly before the start of construction works. Whether your land is a building land and if a house be can be built on it should be checked at the construction and urban development service
26
before May 1968). If you have no valid drawings of that building, you must have it architecturally surveyed and drawn. That is all needed, among other things, in order to reduce the cost of the municipal fee payable for a new building. Once you have settled it all, the way is open for the construction of your family house, with further progress depending largely on your finances and preferences. After that please read this
your future family house and with whom you will also make all necessary arrangements concerning the conclusion of a purchase contract and payment for your YTONG FAMILY HOUSE. 3) PURCHASE The contract for the purchase of your YTONG family house you will sign with Xella at Magnituda Design Office and make an advance of HRK 19,000 payable into Xellas account. The rest of the purchase price you will pay after obtaining the decision on the terms and conditions of construction or after realising your loan. The completion dates of your design documentation for the obtainment of the location and building permits will be agreed with you at Magnituda Design Office. Should none of the proffered YTONG family house designs suit you, you can present us your own design or order it from Magnituda. Based on your individual design, we shall prepare for you FREE OF CHARGE a specification of required YTONG material and give our offer for it. The difference between our ready-made YTONG design and your individual design is that in the latter case you must pay the transportation of material to your site and unloading. Once you have defined the YTONG Family House
project with our assistance, you will receive from Magnituda free documentation required to obtain the location permit shortly after your have supplied to Magnituda the documents specified in section 1) of this Guide. You will yourself obtain from the land register office the decision on the terms and conditions of construction and, if required, the parcelling plan. After that Magnituda will give you complete main design documentation free of charge.Finally, you will also get the part of drawings for the buildings site. The completed design documentation you thus receive will greatly reduce and facilitate the procedure of obtaining the decision on the terms and conditions of construction and the commencement of construction works. 4) HOUSING LOAN After obtaining a valid decision on the terms and conditions of construction you will have met one of the basic conditions for raising a long-term housing or construction loan at a commercial bank on the terms and conditions of that bank and in dependence on your credit rating. You can use such loans regardless of whether you buy one of the YTONG FAMILY
HOUSES or opt for building your family house according to your own design by applying the YTONG CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM. Xella does not provide direct credit financing for the purchasers of YTONG material or the purchasers of YTONG Family Houses, but it has enabled its clients to be granted attractive housing loans at the annual interest rate of about 3.7% through the Real Estate Agency (APN), about which you can learn more on website www.apn.hr 5) ORDERING THE MATERIAL AND ITS TRANSPORT TO THE SITE Once wholly paid under the purchase contract, the construction material for your YTONG FAMILY HOUSE will be delivered to your site within 15 days of the day of payment. After the payment you should call Xella company and agree on a precise delivery schedule for the
factory to start manufacturing the supporting grillage structures and other YTONG elements, which are manufactured on special order. The set of YTONG material for the house structure arrives in pallets, in yellow eco-foils loaded on 2 to 4 trailer trucks, depending on the size of the house. When buying the YTONG FAMILY HOUSE package, you get FREE transportation to the site and mechanical unloading anywhere in Croatia, including islands, provided that the trailer truck has access to the site, otherwise the buyers should pay off-loading and transportation by smaller trucks. If buying YTONG material for building a house according to your individual design,

purpose. All those who turn up on such occasions will be rewarded an YTONG voucher worth HRK 2,500 which can be used as a discount on the price of a purchased YTONG Family House or YTONG material in general, if the amount of purchased YTONG material exceeds 60 m3. During such presentations potential buyers, with the assistance of Xella experts, will be given a chance to gain detailed and you will have to bear the costs of transportation to the site and unloading. 6) PURCHASE OF YTONG FAMILY HOUSES THROUGH TRADERS IN CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL We have also made arrangements for selling YOUNG FAMILY HOUSES through the retail and wholesale chain construction material stores throughout Croatia. In this way we wish to make the purchase of YTONG houses as easy as possible to all potential customers. All well equipped construction material stores where the purchase of YTONG FAMILY HOUSES can be arranged distribute promotional leaflets about YTONG FAMILY HOUSES. At such stores you can ask for basic information on that project from the salespersons and sign a Contracting Order which will be forwarded to Xella company. More detailed information on the project and the prospective purchase contract you will get, as usual, from Xella personnel by calling their free info phone 0800 7000. 7) PRESENTATIONS OF YTONG FAMILY HOUSES The promotion of the YTONG construction system and YTONG Family House designs includes organised presentations on the sites of our clients who are ready to open the doors of their future homes to the public. All interested clients who have supplied their personal data to us will be invited to these presentations taking place year-round in all parts of Croatia, depending on available sites suitable for the

cute the foundations and the rest of construction works. The speed and easiness of construction is assured by massive YTONG blocks, fitted with handholds, spring and groove, by hollow angle elements for making vertical earthquake-resistant tie beams without formwork, U-elements as formwork of horizontal tie beams, beams and lintels, L-elements as external formwork of horizontal and oblique tie beams and cornices. Walls are made with YTONG thin-layered mortar, not with lime-cement mortar, whereby better cohesion and strength of the walls as well as faster construction speed are achieved than with conventional construction methods. INSTRUCTIONS ABOUT STEP-BY-STEP BUILDING BY APPLYING THE YTONG SYSTEM YOU WILL
first-hand knowledge about all the elements of the YTONG construction system, the quality of YTONG material and the advantages of building with it. You can also get information about the speed and prices of construction, potential contractors, the cost prices of other materials and labour at certain construction stages, recommendable wall finishing works, financing possibilities for the purchase of material, energy savings achieved by living in a house built by using the YTONG construction system. 8) APPLYING THE YTONG CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM THE YTONG CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM enables you to quickly and easily raise the structure of your YTONG FAMILY HOUSE with YTONG elements from the foundations to the roof. The foundations are made conventionally from concrete, whereas complete further construction is NOT PREFABRICATED, it is instead MASSIVE MASONRY involving YTONG WALL BLOCKS, YTONG THIN-LAYERED MORTAR AND THE SUPPORTING GRILLAGE SYSTEM DESIGNED FOR THE EXECUTION OF FLOOR AND ROOF STRUCTURES. We would recommend that the same contractor exe-
RECEIVE IN PRINTED AND DVD FORM UPON THE CONCLUSION OF THE PURCHASE CONTRACT AND YOU OGUHT TO OBSERVE THEM WHEN USING THE YTONG CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM. The floor and support structure of the sloped roof is executed from semi-prefab supporting grillage structure consisting of small reinforced concrete beams and ceiling blocks made from YTONG material of exceptional strength and carrying capacity. Placed on the floor structure are standard floating floor layers to ensure sound insulation, whereas on the sloped roof slab are placed standard layers for any type of covering (thermal insulation, steam-permeable, water-resistant foil, inverted battens, battens, tiles). Eaves are also executed from the supporting grillage structure. The external wall treatment can be carried out with a thin, finishing mineral or silica layer or with
single-layered lime-cement plaster to which a finishing paint or a mineral or silica finishing coating is to be applied. The internal wall treatment can be carried out with internal glazing or single-layered gypsum-lime plaster for YTONG. These materials for finishing treatment are not included in the price of the YTONG FAMILY HOUSE package, but some of them can be subsequently bought from Xella. Apart from YTONG plasters, you can also use plasters supplied by other manufacturers according to their instructions. Besides, if the inside wall surfaces are smoothly executed (which is one of the advantages of YTONG materials over other materials), then the interior walls need not be plastered, only smoothed. That is an extra saving, because smoothing is a bit cheaper and faster, as well as time-saving on account of the drying time, whereby the timing of your moving in your new home is brought nearer. 9) SELECTION OF YOUR CONTRACTOR One of major problems encountered by the investors is the uncertainty in the choice of a contractor for fear of questionable quality of works, delays and price increase relative to the originally agreed price. That is why we have created this package service project or the YTONG FAMILY HOUSE design intended to help our clients and facilitate as much as possible their progress from the idea to the actual construction of their own home. The first thing we did was offering an integrated construction system with a fixed price of essential material required for
raising the house structure. Moreover, we have offered a series of free services for our clients intended to greatly facilitate the construction of their home. Furthermore, every year all over Croatia Xella is organising the YTONG CRAFTSMAN training courses, thus widening the circle of authorised contractors that can be recommended to the clients with trust. Rather than engaging in construction works, Xella brings together a group of craftsmen and small or mediumsized construction companies and recommends them for you to negotiate with them directly. We know that their prices will be acceptable to you, the quality of their works satisfactory and their schedules short. What is important is to make timely reservations of their open appointments, because these contractors are largely busy all year round building our projects. Xella will connect you with authorised YTONG craftsmen after you have obtained a valid location permit. Meanwhile Xella will inform you on the reference prices of construction works. Our advice is that at any case you choose a contractor who has already worked with YTONG material and who is familiar with the technology and tools used in the construction with YTONG material. It is Xellas established practice
BUILDING INSTRUCTOR available to you, who will, if so requested by you, teach your contractor how to use YTONG tools and build with YTONG material correctly. You should request the instructors visit to your site at least 20 days prior to the start of building to ensure an appointment with him. YTONG is installed solely with thin-layered masonry mortar and YTONG tools, with which construction is made easier and more efficient. For faster and precise sawing of YTONG material we would recommend to hire an electric band saw (at HRK 900/month + VAT). 10) CONSTRUCTION PRICES (all quoted prices include VAT) The free design documentation you have received after buying the YTONG FAMILY HOUSE includes a part of the working documentation. Youll be able to get the exact
to follow up the progress of your YTONG FAMILY HOUSE construction through its sales managers or technical representatives who come to your site at your request to deal with any possible problem concerning the delivered YTONG material or some construction detail. Should you take a contractor of your own choice, we shall make free services of our YTONG
price after collecting the offers of potential contractors and on the basis of a cost estimate ordered from them with their prices filled in. The working documentation is standard and does not contain design changes, if any, you have ordered from the YTONG designer. For your overview of the total construction costs, we provide you with information on the reference prices of your YTONG FAMILY HOUSE project, without the price of land, without the costs of obtaining the decision on the terms and conditions of construction, without the costs utility connections and terrain development. The prices are based on our experience with our contrac29

installed. A comparison between the price of a house structure with finishing treatment (plaster) shows that the price within the YTONG SYSTEM and that of conventional building is by 10 - 15% lower, or by 16.5% lower than the average price per square metre of housing space in Zagreb, according to data provided by the State Bureau of Statistics. These prices vary in dependence on the type of the YTONG FAMILY HOUSE. The prices of YTONG LOWENERGY HOUSE are by 20% higher on the average due to thicker external walls (36.5 cm THERMOBLOCK) and additional thermal insulation required for a low-energy YTONG house, as well as higher-quality and more expensive joinery. Finally, the profitability of your investment in an YTONG FAMILY HOUSE will fully show in its use, during your occupancy of it. Apart from a pleasant and healthy microclimate that the house affords to its occupants (steam-permeability = wall breathing), you will notice considerable savings in heating over winter and cooling over summer at the rate of 30 - 50%, (depending on the location of the house) owing to the basic feature of YTONG material, an that is outstanding thermal insulation! It is important to know that, if executed exactly as designed, the YTONG LOW-ENERGY HOUSE spends less than 40 kWh per square metre of net housing area, which makes it an EXCEPTIONALLY COST-SAVING SYSTEM. Our clients who have already moved into their YTONG FAMILY HOUSES have confirmed that and they are truly HAPPY with our product!

The above prices apply to standard quality of installed construction materials and equipment The client can choose the type and quality of material to be installed The client decides on the stage for which the construction of an YTONG FAMILY HOUSE will be agreed The construction of an YTONG LOW-ENERGY HOUSE is by 20% more expensive than that of other houses tors in the greater Zagreb area. The quoted prices are the prices of constructed gross floor area (GFA) covering work and complete material, all with VAT included. All prices include YTONG material for the YTONG Family House. In addition to net floor areas, for each house gross floor area is also stated in this Catalogue of YTONG FAMILY HOUSES. PRICE UP TO STAGE 1 The price of rough work, first stage or skeleton (bare walls and ceilings) of your YTONG FAMILY HOUSE, from excavation to foundation concreting through complete walling to the installation of floor structure and supporting grillage structures, but without covering, ranges from as low as Euro 245/m2 GFA. It is, therefore, the price of complete material (gravel, concrete, reinforcement and YTONG material) and work for this construction stage. PRICE UP TO STAGE 2 The closed house price, which includes the structure, roofing and
30
outer joinery, ranges from as low as Euro 360 /m2 GFA. PRICE UP TO (CARCASS) STAGE 4 The typical price agreed for a semi-finished (carcass) building ranges from as low as Euro 465/m2 GFA, and it includes a house finished from the outside (Stage 1 + roofing small beams, thermal insulation, waterproofing, tiles, sheet-metal works; interior and exterior joinery; interior plaster, exterior plaster faade; installations water supply, sewerage, electrical installations). PRICE UP TO STAGE 7 The turnkey price all finished indoors and outdoors (tiling work, floor and wall linings, parquet and tile floor, central heating, all painted, lighting fixtures, sanitary china, briefly, all except furniture), provided that standard materials are used, ranges from as low as Euro 650 m2 GFA. Of course, if you want to install higher-quality and more expensive materials for interior design, that price can well be raised. It is up to you to decide on the types of materials to be
