We design and build heat and cold rooms across Morocco — a private hammam in a medina riad, a cedar sauna on a Palmeraie terrace, a thermal suite for a hotel in Hivernage. The studio is in Sidi Ghanem, the zellige is cut by hand and the tadelakt is polished with a stone.
Under the free trade agreement with the EU, Finnish heaters, Scandinavian thermo-treated timber and Italian brassware enter with no duty against a certificate of origin, where MFN rates would otherwise start at 2.5% for industrial goods (trade.gov). VAT at 20% still applies (PwC Tax Summaries).
The largest port in Africa and the Mediterranean, with capacity for around 11 million containers and expedited clearance in 6–24 hours (Tanger Med; AJ Logistics). A project here is planned in weeks. In a landlocked market the same scope runs four to six weeks longer for no better reason than geography.
Zellige is cut by hand in Fès and Marrakech. Tadelakt is a living trade, not a revival. Atlas cedar comes from up the road. What we import is the heater, the chiller and the bench timber — everything that makes the room Moroccan is local.
Everyone in Morocco knows what a hammam is, which makes this the hardest thing we build. You are not being sold a nove…

Zellige comes from the workshops in Fès and Marrakech we have used for years — you can stand there and choose a glaze from the kiln rather than from a sample board. Tadelakt is applied by a named person, not by whoever is cheapest that month.
Every quote separates access, services and finishes. If it is the alley, the cable run or the zellige that makes your project expensive, you will see exactly which.

Read more →Yes — Casablanca, Rabat, Tangier, Agadir, Essaouira, Taghazout, Fès, the High Atlas and Dakhla. Trips are scheduled in blocks so several jobs share the travel in the same week.
Eight to fourteen weeks from signed drawing. The tanking needs a full day between coats and hand-cut zellige cannot be hurried — those two set the pace, not shipping.
European-origin equipment is, with a valid certificate of origin, under Morocco's agreement with the EU (trade.gov). VAT at 20% still applies. We quote landed, so it is already inside our figure.
Yes — phased, screened behind dust barriers, with agreed noisy windows. Most of our hotel work is done this way.
Tadelakt re-soaped once or twice a year, the generator descaled every three to six months on hard mains water, and a service visit every six months for commercial rooms. We put the intervals in the handover notes.
Yes, if parts are obtainable. Most of our service calls are for somebody else's work.
Yes. It is glazed terracotta on a waterproof substrate and cold water is gentler on it than steam. The grout specification is the part that matters.
40% to start the drawing and order materials, 40% when panels leave the workshop, 20% on commissioning.
