Timber construction solutions for private housing
Sustainable. Fast. Tailored.
Private residential construction using timber has been gaining significant momentum for years. Timber is increasingly establishing itself as a high-performance and future-proof construction method, particularly in the building of detached and semi-detached houses. Rising demands for sustainability, energy efficiency and shorter construction times align with clients’ desire for architectural individuality. Clients and designers benefit from short construction times, made possible by a high degree of prefabrication, as well as considerable freedom in terms of floor plans and architectural design.
