Demand for Wooden Cottages Doubles amid Pandemic – Kohi.ge

“Before the pandemic, our main clients were people from tourism sector, but now we receive main part of orders from physical bodies”, Kohi.ge founder Irakli Lomidze noted.

Customers mainly build houses of approximately 60 M2, because the licensing process is more complicated for bigger spaces, he said. “Not to mention the initial 3 months of the pandemic, when the future was very unclear for the entire world, the demand for our cottages constantly grows. Before the pandemic, we used to receive orders from the tourism industry, but now the key part of orders comes from physical bodies.

This refers to both cottage and residential houses. Customers primarily order houses of about 60 m2, because municipalities easier license this space of projects, while stricter regulations run for bigger spaces and customers have to overcome more bureaucratic barriers. The biggest demand is reported from Racha Region. Tbilisi suburbs rank second. The demand for our houses has doubled”, Irakli Lomidze said. The company appeared on the market in 2019. At this stage, the price of 1m2 starts from $250.
