Schiavi

What Schiavi does

Schiavi S.p.A. is a privately held Italian construction and real-estate development company headquartered in Bellusco, in the province of Monza e Brianza, Lombardy. Founded in 1928 and now in its fifth generation of family ownership, the company operates as a direct-to-buyer developer, constructing and selling new residential properties — apartments, villas, and townhouses — primarily in the Lombardy region across the provinces of Lecco, Monza e Brianza, Bergamo, and Varese. Beyond new-build residential, Schiavi executes turnkey projects, interior design, renovation, conservative restoration of heritage buildings (notably the 15th-century Palazzo Ferlendis in Lovere), waterproofing, and structural consolidation services.

The firm's core technology centers on advanced energy design, with aquifer-based water-to-water geothermal heating and cooling systems, radiant floor heating/cooling, dehumidification, and low-emissivity laminated glass deployed across developments such as Residenza Antica Fornace (Carnate), Residenza Visconti (Lecco), Residenza MUST (Vimercate), Cascina Rovagnati (Casatenovo), Somma Center (Somma Lombardo), and Residenza Magnolia (Nibionno). These projects achieve Class A or Class B energy certification under the 'Casa Schiavi' quality methodology — an internal excellence manual governing construction standards. The company also operates a CRM-structured direct sales motion with in-house mortgage-sourcing support and multi-channel marketing (official website, TikTok, content blog, direct consultation).

Schiavi's business model combines one-time property sales with professional-services revenue from construction, design, and restoration engagements. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; transactions are quote-based. With 11-50 employees and €5,000,000 of share capital, the firm is a small-to-mid-sized regional operator with no disclosed institutional investors, no subsidiaries, no parent company, and no public listing. Geographic concentration in a single Italian region represents the primary structural constraint on scaling.
