Our Process

From first consultation
to long-term support.

Every Jaytra project follows the same six phases — first call to final handover. Most take 20 to 30 weeks. We don’t rush any of them. The schedule follows the work, not the other way around.

At a Glance

Six phases. One engineered outcome.

Each phase has defined deliverables, clear ownership, and documented handover. No phase is skipped, compressed, or outsourced. Quality determines timeline.

Phase 01

Confidential Consultation

Understanding your family, property, and risk profile. NDA signed upfront.

Week 1
Phase 02

Site Evaluation

Geotechnical survey. Soil, water table, seismic, and access analysis.

Week 2–3
Phase 03

Engineering Development

Custom structural and systems engineering. CAD deliverables.

Week 4–8
Phase 04

Precision Fabrication

Manufacturing to FEMA 453 and CBRN specifications.

Week 8–16
Phase 05

Installation & Commissioning

Discreet on-site placement and systems integration.

Week 16–20
Phase 06

Handover & Ongoing Support

Testing, family training, and long-term maintenance.

Week 20+
01

Confidential Security Consultation

Understanding your family, property, and risk profile

Week 1

Every project starts with a 60-minute video call with Jit directly. NDA first. We use this first conversation to understand your property, your family, what you’re worried about, and what you already have in place — no quotes, no pressure, no commitment either way.

The goal isn’t to sell. It’s to figure out if what you need is something we actually do well. If it isn’t, we’ll tell you honestly.

Everything you share stays private. No shared drives, no third parties, no notes circulated outside the call. Consultations are booked by private appointment only.

What You Get

  • Signed NDA
  • First-pass summary of your situation
  • Our honest view on feasibility
  • Next steps, if it makes sense to continue

What to Expect

A quiet, professional conversation. No sales, no quotes, no visibility. The kind of call you’d have with a senior advisor.

02

Site & Geotechnical Evaluation

Soil, water table, seismic, and access analysis

Week 2–3

Once we’ve agreed to move forward, our team visits your property to check the soil, water table, seismic zone, and what access we have to work with. This isn’t a sales visit — it’s an engineer with a clipboard, doing the kind of survey a structural job actually needs.

If we can’t visit straight away, we start with satellite imagery, public geological data, and any soil reports you already have from construction. But a physical survey happens before we run any final calculations.

Site visits are discreet. Unmarked vehicles, no company branding, timing coordinated with your property manager. No one on site needs to know what the visit is about.

What You Get

  • Geotechnical survey report
  • Soil composition and load-bearing data
  • Water table and seismic analysis
  • Site access and logistics review
  • Written feasibility note

What to Expect

Technical, thorough, unhurried. We’d rather take an extra week and get the survey right than move fast and miss something. The feasibility note follows within 10 working days.

03

Engineering Development

Custom structural and systems engineering

Week 4–8

With the site assessment done and the engagement formalised, our engineering team does the full design. Structural shell, foundation engineering for your soil, air filtration sized for your occupancy, power architecture, water and waste, communications, environmental control. All of it, together.

You get CAD drawings and engineering documentation we can share with your architect or project coordinator — so the civil, electrical, plumbing, and finish teams all have what they need to sequence their work correctly.

Nothing is templated. Every project gets its own calculations. We don’t copy specs from the last job.

What You Get

  • Structural CAD drawings
  • Systems engineering specs
  • Foundation design for your soil
  • Coordination pack for your architect
  • Final timeline and scope

What to Expect

Direct coordination with your architect. Structured design reviews along the way. Clear drawings that your existing construction team can actually use.

04

Precision Fabrication

Manufacturing to FEMA 453 and CBRN specifications

Week 8–16

The shell is built in our own workshop, not subcontracted to a general metal shop. Steel plate, reinforcement, welding, blast door assemblies, and pressure-rated systems all fabricated under engineering supervision.

The high-spec components — CBRN filters, blast valves, pressure systems, EMP-shielded switchgear — come directly from vetted European and American defence suppliers. Every critical weld is inspected. Every pressure joint is tested before anything leaves.

We document QA at every stage. You get regular progress updates, and the full QA file gets archived so it’s available for the life of the shelter.

What Gets Built

  • The structural shell, in-house
  • All systems sourced and QA’d
  • Blast doors and entry systems built
  • Systems tested before delivery
  • Full QA file, archived

What to Expect

Regular progress updates. You can visit the workshop on request. The QA file stays with the shelter for its full life.

05

Installation & Commissioning

Discreet on-site placement, coordinated with your team

Week 16–20

Installation happens on your property, coordinated with your architect, contractor, or property manager. Delivery and lifting are scheduled quietly — times chosen to minimise visibility. Our team arrives in unmarked vehicles, no branding, under strict confidentiality.

Once the shell is placed and civil work is integrated, our systems team installs and commissions the air filtration, blast doors, power, water, waste, and communications. Every system tested individually and signed off before handover.

Typical installation: four weeks. Complex projects or ones needing heavy civil coordination can run longer. We’d rather take extra time than compromise the work.

What Happens

  • Discreet delivery and logistics
  • Shell placed, integrated with civil work
  • Systems installed and commissioned
  • Pressure, seal, and filtration tests passed
  • Final sign-off and acceptance

What to Expect

Our engineering team on site, working with your construction team. Full commissioning records at the end.

06

Handover & Ongoing Support

Family training, maintenance programme, long-term partnership

Week 20+

Handover isn’t the end of the job — it’s the start of a long relationship. Your family gets proper training on how to operate everything, what to do in an emergency, and what routine checks to run. All the documentation — CAD drawings, specifications, supplier contacts, QA certificates — gets archived so it’s there whenever you need it.

Beyond handover, we run annual maintenance checks, schedule filter replacements, test systems regularly, and are on 24-hour call if something needs urgent attention. Maintenance contracts come in annual or multi-year forms.

The same team that built it, stays with it. If you need service, an upgrade, or modifications ten years from now, the engineers who designed it are still the ones you’ll talk to.

Ongoing Support

  • Family training on operations
  • Full documentation archive
  • Annual maintenance programme
  • 24-hour emergency line
  • Same engineers, long term

What to Expect

A structured handover, thorough training, and a team that stays involved for the long haul. Not a transaction.

Why The Process Matters

Shelters don’t fail
from weak steel.

They fail from rushed engineering, skipped tests, and poor commissioning. This process exists so that doesn’t happen — not because it sounds good on a website.

Quality Sets the Schedule

We don’t compress phases to hit arbitrary dates. If the engineering needs another week, it gets another week. Timelines follow the work, not the other way around.

Quiet by Design

Every step is built for privacy. NDAs, unmarked vehicles, discreet logistics, private documentation. Your project stays yours.

The Same Team, Long Term

The people who design and build your shelter are the same ones who’ll still be around for service, upgrades, and modifications years later.

Start the Conversation

It all starts with a quiet call.

A 60-minute video call with our founder. NDA first. No quotes, no pressure, no commitment. If we both want to continue, a written feasibility note follows within 10 working days.
