Engineered timber buildings, delivered at scale.
Send us your project — we engineer it, produce it whole in our own factory, and assemble it fast on site. Multi-unit residential, schools and custom builds across Europe.
4,000 m² of covered production, 25 minutes from Tallinn.
What we do
We engineer one thing, and engineer it well: timber buildings, produced whole in the factory.
From Estonia, we manufacture timber elements and modules in a controlled factory, then assemble them fast on site — cutting weeks off the build. The same discipline runs from a one-off home to a 48-unit development.
Inside the factory
A building leaves this floor almost every working day.
Walls, floors, roofs and complete modules are cut on a six-axis Weinmann line and finished whole — insulated, glazed, clad and quality-checked — before anything ships. When a project needs more capacity, we build with partner factories across Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, our own teams on every one.
- 4,000 m² covered production
- Six-axis Weinmann WBS120 line
- 150–250 m² home in under a week
- 100+ factory-to-site transports a year
