Construction in Ananuri
Building a house in Ananuri and by the Zhinvali reservoir
stroydom.ge builds houses in Ananuri at company base rates: 500–700 ₾/m² for the shell, 850–1,100 ₾/m² ready for finishing and 1,250–1,550 ₾/m² for the full cycle. These are reference figures; the estimate for a plot in Ananuri is calculated after an engineer visits it and is fixed in the contract. Ananuri is an hour from Tbilisi, where view plots slope towards the reservoir, so drainage and off-grid utilities are priced before design.
Ananuri sits on the Georgian Military Highway about an hour from Tbilisi, known for its fortress above the Zhinvali reservoir. People come here for a view plot and a second home for weekends: the city is close, while nature and water are right outside the window. We build private and guest houses turnkey, allowing for the slope down to the water, drainage and connecting utilities outside the city.
What does stroydom.ge account for when building in Ananuri?
View plots on a slope
The best plots here look out over the reservoir and almost always come with a gradient. We design the house from the terrain (terracing, retaining walls, a lower ground floor) so the view works with the layout rather than against the foundation.
Water nearby and drainage
The slope towards the reservoir, spring melt and runoff from plots above all demand well-planned drainage. We include drains, plinth waterproofing and regrading. Otherwise, water finds its way into the basement.
Utilities outside the city
Water, electricity and sewerage are not always at the plot boundary here. We assess connection options in advance and cost a borehole and an autonomous sewage system as a working option, not as a mid-build surprise.
A weekend house and seasonality
If the house is used intermittently, shutdown scenarios matter: draining the system, freeze protection, heating automation. We build this into the engineering design rather than leaving it to the owner to figure out.
What work does stroydom.ge do in Ananuri?
Full cycle or a single stage, turnkey and with responsibility for budget and deadlines.
| Stage | Price, ₾/m² | What is included |
|---|---|---|
| Shell | 500–700 | Foundation, concrete structure, masonry and roof — no windows, no engineering, no finishes. Chosen when the finish is planned later or done in-house. |
| Ready for finishing | 850–1,100 | Shell plus the full engineering and rough-works package. The house can be mothballed for any length of time and finished once the interior design is ready. |
| Full cycle | 1,250–1,550 | From foundation to the handover of keys: engineering, finishing, final materials and cleaning. The most predictable option on timing — there is no downtime between contractors. |
The rates cover standard conditions. For a site in Ananuri stroydom.ge prepares the estimate after an engineer visits the plot and fixes it in the contract.

FAQ — Ananuri
How far is Ananuri from Tbilisi and how does that affect the build?
About an hour along the Georgian Military Highway. For construction this is a convenient distance: supplies come from Tbilisi without a long-haul premium, the site manager visits regularly, and the client can drop in any day.
What if the plot has no water or sewerage?
That is common outside the city. We first assess whether connecting to existing networks is realistic and what it costs. If not, we cost a borehole and an autonomous sewage system. The key is that this enters the budget before we start, not once the structure is up.
Is a plot sloping towards the reservoir a problem?
Not a problem but a design condition. A slope means terracing, retaining walls, drainage and usually a lower ground floor. Calculated properly, the slope gives the best view and a useful extra level; without calculation, it gives cracks and water in the basement.
Can I build a guest house to rent out?
Yes, we build guest houses in Ananuri. A location overlooking the fortress and the reservoir works with tourist traffic along the Georgian Military Highway. In that case we design the layout and finishes for guest turnover rather than family living.
How does the house cope with winter if nobody lives there?
Through shutdown: draining the system or an antifreeze circuit, automation holding a minimum temperature, and protection of external pipe runs. We build these solutions into the engineering design from the outset.
