Stories from the building site

Each video opens with one punchy statement and the project's key numbers as graphics. Then the experts who delivered the project take over: site managers, engineers, architects and investors. They talk about concrete dilemmas, not general virtues: whether to renovate a building or demolish it, how to fit modern architecture into an existing structure, how to combine production and warehousing under one roof while keeping it fire safe.

The result is a series that shows viewers how the company works, not just what it has built.

Hotel Bohinj, on a hill above Ribčev Laz, was fully renovated and structurally and energy retrofitted in seven months. A project like this always raises the question of whether to renovate an existing building or demolish it, and how to fit modern architecture into an existing structure. So we told the story from four sides: the project manager, the architect from OFIS arhitekti, the investor and the operator's representative. More about the project: Hotel Bohinj on tosidos.si (in Slovenian).

The Masarykova Residence in central Ljubljana combines 81 apartments with commercial space. On a building site this large in the city, a hundred things are decided every day, so this is a story about the people who run it and the trust between them.

For the Blažič building, production and warehousing had to work together while meeting fire safety requirements. The site manager and the project manager talk about it, and the design engineer adds his view. Uni & Forma got a commercial and warehouse building with a shop, and its owners explain why the company had outgrown its old premises in Komenda and Trzin.

In Bled, two buildings with sheltered rental apartments, a shared basement and a wooden facade were built. The story is told by the foreman who ran the site every day.

Part of the series is not tied to one project but to the craft: when concrete and steel are the right choice, what reinforced concrete can do and how partners work together on a build. Videos like these show that behind the company name are people who understand their work and can explain it.

The series strengthened Tosidos's image as a young, agile and reliable construction partner. The videos became the central content of the company's renewed website, where each one is linked to its reference project. You can watch the whole series on the Video stories page at tosidos.si (in Slovenian).
