Construction and Retrofitting
Construction Company in Ümitköy: Roofing, Insulation, Renovation and Retrofitting
In complexes and terraced houses with gardens where the same families have lived for years, we treat the building as a whole, from roof to foundation and from services to the structural system.

Tell us about the work your Ümitköy property needs
Most buildings in Ümitköy are residential complexes set among green spaces, along with semi-detached and terraced houses with gardens. Because many of these homes have been lived in for a long time, the need is rarely a single repair; it usually means tackling the roof, façade, services and garden-level damp at the same time. As a construction company in Ümitköy, we begin by seeing on site how these problems are connected.
Our office is right next to the neighbourhood. This means we can come out for a survey quickly and be on site often during longer projects. Whatever the size of the job, the team that comes to the survey is the same team that manages the work. From re-roofing to foundation insulation and from external wall insulation to retrofitting, we carry out every job with 20 years of experience and against a written work plan.

Our Services
Key Renovation and Construction Work in Ümitköy
Below are the jobs we note most often during surveys in Ümitköy; more often than not, several of them turn up in the same house.
Garden-level damp and foundation insulation
We trace the source of damp appearing at the base of walls on ground floors and, if necessary, plan waterproofing and drainage around the foundation.
Terrace and roof insulation
On terrace floors suffering from leaks and heat loss, we renew the waterproofing and thermal insulation together with correcting the falls.
Converting the loft into a room
We have a licensed engineer assess the load-bearing capacity of the floor, and we build insulation, daylight and ventilation into the design from the start.
External wall insulation for complex blocks
In ageing blocks, we plan façade repairs and thermal insulation in line with the management’s decision.
Retrofitting assessment
For buildings with earthquake safety concerns, the process starts with an on-site inspection by licensed engineers; the work is carried out based on engineering calculations.
Plumbing and riser pipes
In long-occupied buildings, we renew worn fresh water and waste water lines, together with the shared risers where possible.
A Closer Look
In Terraced and Semi-Detached Houses, Problems Spread in a Chain
In Ümitköy’s terraced houses, a small roof leak first shows up as a stain on the top-floor ceiling, then gradually works its way down the walls and into the floor below. At garden level the opposite happens: groundwater and poor drainage carry damp from the bottom up. If these problems, starting at opposite ends of the same house, are not solved before the interior renovation, new paint and finishes soon deteriorate.
That is why we inspect the house during the survey not only from the inside but from the roof right down to garden level. We set the order of works accordingly: first the roof, terrace and foundation insulation that protect the building from the elements, then the services, and finally the interior surfaces.
A common mistake we see on terrace floors is adding a new layer on top without removing the old insulation. This puts extra load on the slab and usually just postpones the problem. We open up the existing layers, see what lies beneath and only then decide, reworking the falls and drainage points.
- Checking the roof covering, valleys and chimney junctions
- Waterproofing and correcting falls on terrace floors
- Foundation insulation and drainage at garden level
- Interior repairs once the source of damp has been resolved

Communal Work with Complex Management
In Ümitköy’s complexes, work such as external wall insulation, roof renewal, car park waterproofing and communal services is usually carried out by decision of the owners’ board. What management needs most in this process is a clear scope that can be explained to residents and an itemised quotation.
We inspect the blocks on site and prepare a file showing the work to be done, the material options and the order of works. During delivery, we arrange scaffolding, material storage and working hours so they disrupt residents’ daily lives as little as possible. That is the practical benefit for management of working with a construction company based in Ümitköy: a point of contact who can get to the site quickly whenever a question arises.
We also draw up a timetable with management so that communal works do not clash with individual renovations. For example, we suggest that residents who want to replace windows before the external insulation goes on do so in the same period, so the façade junctions are resolved in one go.

The Right Way to Start on the Retrofitting Question
In ageing blocks, residents’ concerns about earthquakes are natural and well-founded. The right starting point is for the building to be inspected on site by licensed engineers and for the necessary tests to be carried out. If retrofitting is needed, the design is prepared based on engineering calculations and goes through the municipal approval process. At the design stage we also clarify whether the work can proceed section by section, and we plan from the outset whether residents can remain in the building.
Designating a building as an at-risk structure, on the other hand, is the job of institutions licensed by the Ministry and marks the start of the urban transformation process. Whichever route applies, we explain the options to owners clearly. To book a survey, call 0312 240 51 51.

0312 240 51 51As a contractor in Ümitköy, do you also build new buildings?
Yes. We provide general contracting services for buildings to be demolished and rebuilt and for empty plots. For new buildings the permit is obtained from the municipality, while statutory supervision is carried out by a building inspection firm under Law No. 4708.
Can garden-level damp be solved with an interior renovation?
Usually not. If the damp is coming from outside, it has to be solved at its source, with insulation and drainage around the foundation. During the survey we establish where the damp is coming from.
Do I need a permit to convert the loft into a room?
Changes affecting the intended use, the façade or the structural system may require a municipal process. We do not proceed with the work until a licensed engineer has assessed the load-bearing capacity of the floor.
Will you prepare a joint quotation for our complex management?
Yes. For communal works such as external wall insulation, roofing or car park insulation, we prepare a clear quotation file suited to the board’s decision-making process.
What determines the cost of re-roofing in Ümitköy?
The roof area, the covering material, the condition of the timber and insulation layers beneath, and scaffolding requirements determine the price. We provide a firm quotation after the site survey.
