How your prefab timber house is made
01
Light on difficult plots
Timber weighs a fraction of masonry: less load on the foundations, ideal on sloping or hillside ground or where site space is tight.
02
Several storeys too
With X-LAM we build single and two-family houses and small timber apartment blocks, also as an extra storey on existing buildings after structural checks.
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
Can you build in timber in Campania's seismic zones?
Yes: the structure is calculated on the town's seismic zone to the Italian building code, and timber's lightness and ductility perform very well in earthquakes.
Do you also build timber roof extensions?
Yes, after the engineer has checked the existing building: timber adds little weight and is the most used solution for extra storeys.
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.
