The web configurator automatically recalculates the price of the configured building core. This contains everything needed to assemble building core on the prepared foundations.
After configurated building that you want to purchase, you will make bank transfer.
The price of delivery depends on the location where you are and the number of items (size of the object) that you ordered. All shipping costs are evident before shipment when you select the items you want to order. An additional cost is the unloading of cargo on the construction site, which you have to arrange on your own.
The surcharge for a gable roof is about 10% of the price of a building with a flat roof.

Pick & Build is the most complete DIY building system.
The PICK & BUILD system consists of two main sets of elements. It consists of a solid statically stable construction and thermal insulating fillers. It enables you to take control of the whole building process: designing, assembling, and adopting your own space. Want to know more? Click the button and transfer yourself to page SYSTEM.
We provide all the tools you will need to assemble the building. In the toolbox, you will find two sizes of spanners, a rubber hammer and safety gear.
Manageable for a small team (2-3 people) with no technical knowledge or need for heavy machinery. The musical legends The Beatles sing “With a little help from my friends,” and that kind of teamwork comes in handy when you are creating a new space. For example, 3 people took approx. 5 hours for assembling skeleton of 20 m2 outdoor studio.
You don’t need a scaffolding. In the case of a gable roof, you can install hiking boards on the upper transverse aluminum profiles, but at your own risk. Other parts of the assembly are accessible at standing height or by means of a smaller ladder.
Permits and restrictions on the building of a prefabricated facility vary from state to state, local community to the municipality, and other official institutions. Check the exact regulations, laws, and restrictions with your nearest legal or other counsel.
All Pick & Build elements are interchangeable. Feel free to change the design anytime.
After purchase, you will receive easy to follow step by step assembling instructions. For more information, you can always visit our ASK PIBU page, where we collected all tips and tricks to make assembly and installation easier.
You will receive a user manual for the assembly of Pick & Build system. According to the configured structure, you will first need foundations. More about foundation possibilities you can read on the page related to this topic. Link
The PICK & BUILD system is intended for assembling objects of various sizes, shapes, and purposes. According to the basic concept, the system is intended for the installation of only ground floor buildings. The system intentionally uses the term assembly and not construction, as it is a DIY assembly system based on the principle of assembling Flatpack furniture and not according to the building construction system.
PICK & BUILD is designed and developed as a DIY (Do it your self) system, which allows anyone without technical knowledge, demanding tools, or professional help to assemble the facility to their liking.

In the case of a flat roof, the ceiling fillings also represent the ceiling of the building. A gable roof is an "upgrade". This means that a flat-roofed building can also be later converted to a gable roof building by adding steel link for pitched roof 40°, and vice versa. In this case, the elements are only added or subtracted and are not changed or replaced.
Of course. The system is actually developed for that and has the possibility to transform again and again into other useful smart buildings with no major damage to the construction materials. You might leave some scratches if you're clumsy, but that should be it.
You can use different foundation types, from ground screws, point foundations, strip foundations, foundation slab/base plate, or a hardened and leveled plane is sufficient.
We provide all the tools you will need to assemble the building. All Pick & Build elements are interchangeable. Feel free to change the design anytime. It has the characteristics of a real low-energy house, due to good insulation and perfect details, it can be used all year round, even for extreme conditions. Smaller buildings (around 30m2) can be assembled in 2 days. The system is prepared in a way that can be assembled with 3-4 people (friends) by the attached instructions. With all that combined you can save time and money, when comes to choosing the right builidng type for you.
When comes to picking a good location, the sky is the limit. It can be anywhere. You can find some ideas and tips about choosing the right location in section self-architect. For more technical info in fields of foundations is best to visit our page “Product«. Here are both links that will take you there immediately.
Using the configurator is quite easy. With constraints inserted, you don’t have to worry about configuring an object incorrectly or unworkably to assemble. Click here and try it out.
You can start with a Pre-designed building in the configurator and adjust the size to your needs or start your design from scratch. The configurator will automatically calculate the surface of the designed space.
This can go pretty fast. But make sure, that your wants and needs are aligned. With the Pick & Build web configurator, you will become a self-architect. The building of your dreams will get its image even before you'll take your first item off our shelf. The configurator enables you to accurately calculate the number of required elements and the final price.
You can use one of the pre-designed buildings in the configurator or start one from scratch. Configurator is easy to use with build-in restriction, so you don't have to worry about damaging statics or other structural characteristics.

Great, that’s an awesome idea! You are on the right path to assemble your DIY building. We made it easy and simple with our web configurator. Purchased underframe will guarantee stable, strong, and isolative core ready to apply finishes (Interior, Exterior, and Installation). You can read more about how it works in section Product or just click the link below.
Pick & Build system is design for ground floor use. With a pitched(gabled) rooftop the the ceiling is up to 4,5m high. Planty space on one floor.

We have prepared ideas in our blog or you can find them on our social media platforms. Just click one of the icons below.
A building with a gable roof (slope 40 °), of any size (in Z and X directions), withstands a vertical force (snow load taking into account the own weight of the aluminum structure and a constant load of floor, wall and ceiling fillers) of 5.0 kN / m2. A building with a flat roof, of any size (in Z and X directions), withstands a vertical force (snow load taking into account the own weight of the aluminum structure and a constant load of floor, wall and ceiling fillers) of 2.2 kN / m2.
A flat-roofed building of any size, drawn in parallel in one direction (X) or both (Z, X) with wind crosses in the first and last fields, withstands a horizontal force (wind load) of 1.311 kN / m2. A building with a gabled roof (inclination of 40 °) with windbreaks in the first and last fields, of any size, withstands a horizontal force (wind load) of 1.175 kN / m2.
Given the size, weight and number of storeys of buildings that can be assembled with the PICK & BUILD system, the system does not require static calculations in the event of an earthquake.
A good ventilation system will help expel a build-up of pollutants, bacteria, and moisture. Proper ventilation prevents air pollutants from affecting the health of you and your family/coworkers. Not only that, having airflow can get rid of any unwanted smells, such as from cooking, pets, or farts. One of the reasons ventilation is so important is because it controls how much moisture is lingering in your building. Structure ventilation is not part of the Pick & Build KIT, but we provide a special wall filler with a standardized opening for the installation of local recuperation or fan ventilation. Choosing a power ventilation system must be compatible with the square footage of the building
You can use different foundation types, from ground screws, point foundations, strip foundations, foundation slab/base plate, or a hardened and leveled plane is sufficient. On the link below you can check more technical info about preparing land for construction.
When configuring the building, provide a place where the kitchen, toilet, and bathroom will be located. In accordance with the philosophy, we propose rational solutions, for example: from one side of the kitchen from the other bathroom. It is important to know who will install your plumbing system, already because of any unnecessary problems with leaks, clogging, and drainage. A special floor-filler has been prepared for water supply and drainage.
It's important to know who will install your electricity system! An installation plane has been prepared, which enables easy installation of the electrical installation with special filler for the fuse box. The electrical installation is not part of the Pick & Build KIT, as it is supplied locally, as well as service providers if you do not install it yourself. Consider your usage patterns and know how much power do you need. Maybe someone in your family knows how to do it or know someone, who can do it.
Depending on the method of construction and the philosophy of the movable building, we recommend electric underfloor heating and heating with IR panels. The heating solution is not part of the Pick & Build KIT and it has to be installed locally on its own or outsourced.
Lightning protection is not a DIY project. Only experienced and reputable LPI-certified lightning protection companies should install lightning protection systems. Qualified specialists use UL listed materials and ensure that the installation methods comply with the nationally recognized safety standards of LPI, NFPA and UL. Design and installation are typically outside the realm of the expertise of homeowners, electricians, general contractors, or roofers. Only trained experts such as LPI-certified contractors who specialize in lightning protection should install these systems.
The system allows the installation of a fireplace with a chimney (with a certain limitation). A special feature of this is the drainage shaft installed through a special wall filler with a pre-prepared opening. The reason for the opening installed on the wall is due to the sealing of the roof fillers and the preservation of the insulating sealing properties.
Because the Pick & Build KIT system provides the necessary insulating, vapor-permeable, and protective properties, the facade of the building can be made of various natural or artificial materials. Before you decide to implement it, ask the local community what kind of facades are allowed in the spatial plan. We recommend the use of clad ventilated facades, which are installed over stretchers or hangers. Ventilated facades contain an empty space between the structure and the final layer - the ventilation layer. This is 4 cm thick and makes sure that moisture does not stay in the structure. This preserves the possibility of easy disassembly of the building. The contact façade is also suitable, but when dismantled it becomes unusable and represents additional construction waste.
Similar to exterior walls, we recommend the use of cladding, which is attached to the structure with brackets or hangers. This mode allows easy disassembly or to customize the installation. Between the inner cladding and the construction lies an installation plane 4 cm thick and it's easily accessible. For hanging heavier loads on the wall, such as kitchen wall elements, televisions, water heaters, air conditioning, etc. it is necessary to replace classic wall fillers with special ones that are reinforced for this purpose.
One of the main advantages of the Pick & Build system is the possibility of constantly adjusting the elements even when the object is already set up.
The product itself is inspired by reducing environmental impact. The fact that all materials used are 99 % recyclable. One of the main features of our system is the possibility to disassemble and reassemble over and over again and leaves no traces in the environment.
Pick & Build is a high-quality building system with a life cycle of 50 years minimum.
The Pick & Build team consists of experts from various fields, who with joint knowledge have developed a patented innovative product in the field of self-construction. More about them, find on page About us.
