ABSTRACT:

The need for construction and restoration of buildings within an ecological and sustainable manner is highlighted in this increasingly aware global world; so it is very easy to fail thinking on how simple it could be to execute certain eco-efficient constructive proposal in any project, no matter its size.
Despite having previous experiences in construction of several prefabricated buildings (fire stations, offices, schools), and participating in some important research projects on studying new eco-efficient constructive proposals for dwellings, as the Patio 2.12 project for Solar Decathlon Europe 2012, that was the mistake our team failed into when we decided to incorporate a new more efficient constructive system in a private promoted detached house project.
This works shows, by means of a real and built example, that kind of things that is not usually told in a congress or an article: all those problems found during the incorporation process which have to be controlled to improve the viability of any building project which pretends to apply new solutions.
In this case, the problem was to move from a traditional detached house project based on a system of structural walls with 3cm of insulation, plastered and painted, floor slabs with beams and concrete slabs, balustrades and small windows, pitched roofs... (private promoter’s first idea) to a contemporary house project based on a Steel Frame system with 14cm of insulation, and multiple eco-efficient architectural strategies, with mezzanine floor, double height and large windows(final project) ... at the same price and lesser execution time.
All those problems our team had to face and the different constructive proposals and professional decisions we reached out during the different phases of this project, from first stages to the end of the building process, to obtain at the same price a detached house executed in less time and with more material and environmental quality than a traditional one through the incorporation of eco-efficient proposals are shown in this paper by adding real budgets, time programs, comparative studies, sketches, drawings and photographs.
In spite of the economical crisis, this house has risen 50% in value.
