How we handle the process remotely

Most communication and decision-making can take place online. NineHertz remains your local point of contact, carries the project pace and coordinates the participants in Croatia.

NineHertz leads the design process and coordinates consultants, authorities, contractors and suppliers within the agreed scope. You communicate with one team instead of managing each participant separately.

Meetings, presentations and key decisions can take place through video calls and email. After each milestone, you receive a clear summary of the approved decisions, open questions and next steps.

NineHertz visits the property, attends local meetings and monitors the site according to the agreed scope. The required frequency of visits is defined for each project and construction phase.

NineHertz identifies the required statutory documentation, coordinates licensed local consultants and manages communication with the relevant authorities. The outcome and duration of official procedures remain subject to the competent authorities.

NineHertz can assist with contractor shortlisting, tender documentation, quote comparison, technical communication, material samples and supplier coordination. You approve the final appointments, contracts and major costs.

You receive agreed progress reports with photographs, videos, completed activities, upcoming work and decisions that may affect the budget or schedule.

What we handle: site assessment, local visits, planning and permit coordination, licensed consultant coordination, Croatian statutory documentation, decision tracking, handover support, supplier and material coordination, contractor tender support, progress reports, and on-site design issues.
What you decide: project goals and priorities, key spatial decisions, contractor appointments, final approvals, investment budget, materials and major selections, and changes affecting the budget or schedule.

Let’s start

You do not need to have everything defined before contacting NineHertz. Share what you know, and NineHertz can help develop the brief, assess or find a property, define a budget and prepare the next steps.

Tell us whether you are planning a new home, renovation, hospitality property, commercial space or development. A short description is enough — NineHertz can help define the programme, priorities and project scope.

If you have a property in mind, send its address or cadastral parcel number. NineHertz can visit the site and assess its planning and development potential before purchase. If you are still searching, NineHertz can help define the criteria, identify suitable locations with local partners and compare available properties.

Share your approximate investment range and what it should include. If the budget is not yet defined, NineHertz can help establish a realistic framework and refine it as the project develops.

Send any available ownership records, cadastral information, drawings, surveys or permits. NineHertz can help obtain missing documents and coordinate the local specialists required to verify the property.

Let us know about any important purchase, construction or opening dates. If no timeline exists, NineHertz can prepare and manage a realistic schedule for design, approvals and construction.
