How your prefab timber house is made
01
Designed for Calabrian earthquakes
Every structure is calculated on the seismic zone of your town: X-LAM walls act as a rigid box and timber weighs far less than masonry.
02
Close, just across the Strait
From our plant in Sicily the panels reach sites in Calabria quickly, from Reggio to Cosenza, from the Tyrrhenian to the Ionian coast.
03
Prefabricated in our plant
Walls, floors and roof are made to measure in our plant, sheltered from rain and site conditions: they reach the site ready to assemble, with reliable times and millimetre precision.
04
X-LAM, timber frame or mixed
Solid X-LAM panels for strength and seismic behaviour, timber frame for lightness and lower costs, or a mixed system: we choose the right solution for your project with you.
What our work includes
Structural design: timber structure calculated on the seismic, wind and snow loads of your town
Production: glulam and X-LAM panels made by Emma Industrie
Transport and assembly: delivery to site and erection by specialised teams
Advanced shell or turnkey: you decide how far we go
Our prefab timber houses
Frequently asked questions
Is a timber house safe in seismic zone 1?
Yes: timber is light and ductile, and the structure is designed and calculated to the Italian building code on the seismic zone of the plot.
Do you assemble in every Calabrian province?
Yes, in Reggio Calabria, Cosenza, Catanzaro, Crotone and Vibo Valentia.
How much does a prefab timber house cost?
It depends on the building system, floor area, finishing level and location. The cost-per-m² page explains what changes the price; for an exact figure we prepare a free quote on your project.
How long does assembly take?
The structure is produced in our plant and assembled on site in a few weeks; overall times depend mainly on permits, systems and finishes.
