What is a Green Frame Apartment
The condition of an apartment is one of the first key issues that arises during the purchasing process. It is precisely this that determines how much time and resources you will need to move into the new residence and how peaceful this process will be.
On the Georgian construction market, apartments are mainly handed over in three conditions: Green, White, and Black Frame. This classification is a peculiarity of the local market and differs from, for example, European practice, where apartments are mostly sold with full renovation.
Among these three conditions, the Green Frame implies the most finished version of the apartment. In such real estate, the main and most difficult renovation work is already completed. The owner no longer has to search for craftsmen, transport construction materials, or have disagreements with neighbors over renovation-related noise. In fact, only the cosmetic part remains to be done, which is related to creating the final look of the interior.
Main differences between White and Green Frames
In order to better understand the meaning of a Green Frame, it is interesting to compare it with a White Frame, which is also a quite common condition in Georgia. A White Frame is a more complete condition compared to a Black Frame Apartment, although a serious renovation process still awaits the owner.
In the case of a White Frame apartment, the internal partitions are built in the apartment, the walls are plastered, and the floor is screeded. Main communications, such as electricity, water, and gas, are brought to a single point, but their full networking and distribution to endpoints must be ensured by the owner.
As for the Green Frame, in an apartment of this condition, the plumbing system is fully arranged – water and sewage pipes are brought to the exact points where a washbasin, shower, or other fixture is to be installed. Furthermore, the electrical wiring is fully networked, and the location of every switch and outlet is defined.
What work remains to be done in a Green Frame condition apartment?
When the technical and noisy part of the renovation is already finished, a much more pleasant part awaits the owner: thinking up and planning the interior design. Therefore, this remaining work is more creative than construction:
Walls: The surface is already plastered and prepared. You only need to decide whether you will paint them or apply wallpaper, which depends entirely on your taste.
Floor: The perfectly level screeded layer creates the best foundation for any type of covering, be it laminate, parquet, or tiles.
Wet areas: Since the pipes are already installed, all that remains is to select and install the plumbing fixtures (washbasin, toilet, shower).
Interior doors and lights: You choose and install the interior doors and lighting fixtures according to your taste, for which the electrical points are already ready.
Is it worth purchasing a Green Frame condition apartment when you have investment goals?
An apartment is one of the main types of investment property, the demand for which is growing more and more. In this regard, a Green Frame is an interesting and profitable choice.
First of all, a short time is sufficient to complete the cosmetic renovation in the apartment. Because of this, you will be able to rent it out in the shortest possible time and will receive financial benefits quickly.
Besides the time factor, there is a second, no less important aspect — reliability. When a developer hands over an apartment with completed internal works, they themselves become responsible for their quality, as this reflects on their reputation.
What does the development company Materia's Green Frame condition imply?
Beyond general definitions, it is important to know what a specific developer's Green Frame includes. In Materia's projects, this condition implies a clearly defined state, which is described in detail in the contract.
In Materia's apartments, the walls are fully plastered and prepared for the final stage. High-quality aluminum doors and windows are installed, the electricity is networked with a full scheme, and the points for outlets and switches are defined.
Thus, when choosing a Green Frame, you know exactly what work the developer takes upon themselves. This, in turn, allows you to complete the renovation process with less stress, in a short time, and to enjoy life in your new home soon.
