How your prefab timber house is made
01
Earthquake-resistant, from the Apennines to the sea
Since the 2016 Amatrice earthquake seismic safety has been a priority, especially around Rieti and inland: timber is light and ductile, and every structure is calculated on the site's town.
02
Fast, clean sites in Rome
Elements arrive ready to assemble: fewer site days, fewer vehicles and less dust, an advantage in neighbourhoods with tight spaces. Timber is also the lightest way to add storeys to existing buildings.
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
Do you build timber houses in Rome too?
Yes, in Rome and across its province, as well as in Latina, Viterbo, Rieti and Frosinone.
Can an existing building get an extra timber storey?
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.
