The model defines the path
Model choice affects the plan package, EasyKit scope, support needs, and local review.
Why model choice comes first
A Soleta project should not start with the question “How much is the kit?” The better first question is: which model fits the use, site, local rules, and build path? Once the model direction is clear, the plan package, EasyKit scope, delivery path, and support level become easier to discuss.
The site affects the model
Plot size, slope, access, orientation, foundation, utilities, and local rules may limit what fits.
Use changes requirements
Permanent living, guest house, rental, retreat, garden office, or hospitality use can trigger different responsibilities.
Budget follows scope
Budget direction depends on model, plan package, EasyKit, delivery, local labour, foundation, MEP, and finishes.
Choose by use case
Start with what the building must do. A beautiful model can still be wrong if the use case is unclear.
Compact permanent home
Best direction
S1 / S2 - final data to be confirmed.
What to consider
daily living, local residential rules, MEP, storage, heating, ventilation, privacy, and long-term comfort.
Guest house
Best direction
S1 / S2 - final data to be confirmed.
What to consider
local permission, utilities, guest privacy, access, and relationship to the main house.
Secondary space or cabin
Best direction
S1 / S2 / A1 - final data to be confirmed.
What to consider
site access, seasonal use, foundation, utilities, remote location, and storage.
Retreat or rental unit
Best direction
S1 / S2 / A1 - hospitality fit to be confirmed.
What to consider
tourism rules, rental permission, insurance, taxes, guest safety, cleaning, and operations.
Attic / loft character
Best direction
A1 - final data to be confirmed.
What to consider
roof volume, vertical expression, local height limits, stair logic, and more complex review.
Not sure yet
Best direction
Start with model series.
What to consider
project use, country, plot, budget direction, and local team.
Choose by site condition
The right model must fit the plot, not only the mood board.
Small or constrained plot
Compact models may be easier to test, but local setbacks, access, plot coverage, and rules still matter.
Sloped site
Foundation, access, drainage, and assembly planning become more important.
Remote site
Delivery, unloading, storage, utilities, and local team availability can control the model choice.
Mountain / snow / wind exposure
Local engineering must review loads, climate, structure, and foundation.
Lake or sensitive landscape
Environmental rules, setbacks, access, drainage, and utility strategy may create constraints.
Existing property / backyard
Guest house, ADU-style, garden office, or secondary space rules must be verified locally.
Choose by build path
The model also affects how you move through the Soleta commercial path. A smaller model may still require careful local review, while a larger or more expressive model may need stronger documentation and support.

Model readiness checklist
You do not need every answer before choosing a model, but these details make the decision safer.
- Intended use: home, guest house, rental, retreat, cabin, office, or secondary space
- Project country and approximate region
- Plot status: owned, under purchase, shortlisted, or not selected
- Site condition: flat, sloped, remote, urban, rural, mountain, lake, forest, or unknown
- Local rules known, unknown, or under review
- Approximate budget direction
- Timeline direction
- Local team identified or not yet selected
- Interest in plans only, EasyKit Core, EasyKit Extended, or unsure
- Need for assembly support: yes, no, or unsure
What choosing a model does not solve
Choosing a model is an essential first step, but it does not complete the project.
It does not guarantee local approval
Permits, rules, signatures, and inspections depend on local authorities.
It does not replace plan packages
Model pages are not the same as Planning Information or Complete Project documentation.
It does not define EasyKit automatically
Core or Extended scope must be confirmed per model and project.
It does not solve foundation
Foundation depends on soil, slope, drainage, frost, loads, and local standards.
It does not solve MEP
Mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating, cooling, ventilation, water, and sewage remain local.
It does not replace the local team
Builders, engineers, site safety, labour, and supervision remain local responsibilities.

Common mistakes when choosing a model
A model must fit use, site, budget, local rules, and local team.
The model controls the kit scope.
Guest house, ADU-style, rental, hospitality, and residential uses can require different approvals.
Small projects still need permits, foundation, MEP, access, and local execution.
The best model is not always the largest or most expressive.
Plan packages help test the model before EasyKit or support decisions.
Choose a Model FAQ
Should I choose the model before buying plans?
Yes. Plan packages should usually be linked to a selected or strongly shortlisted Soleta model.
Can I ask for EasyKit pricing before choosing a model?
You can express interest, but meaningful EasyKit pricing depends on the selected model, scope, destination, and project conditions.
What if I do not know which model fits?
Start with Model Series or request guidance. You can also compare use cases such as accessible living, secondary spaces, and retreat hospitality.
Does choosing a model guarantee local approval?
No. Local approval depends on local rules, professionals, documents, signatures, inspections, and site conditions.
Can one model serve multiple uses?
Yes. A compact model may be used differently depending on local rules and project goals.
What is the safest next step after choosing a model?
Compare plan packages and decide whether you need early Planning Information or a Complete Project Package.
Ready to choose your Soleta model direction?
Start with use, site, and build path. Then choose the model that makes the next step clearer: plan package, EasyKit, delivery, and support.
