How your prefab timber house is made
01
With your Swiss designer
We work with the local architect or engineer: the timber structure is sized to SIA standards and the canton's energy requirements, Minergie targets included.
02
Delivery and assembly in Switzerland
Walls, floors and roof travel ready to install: we organise transport and assembly, with times and import formalities defined in the quote.
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 deliver and assemble across Switzerland?
Yes, in Ticino, Graubünden and the other cantons: transport and assembly are organised by us and stated in the quote.
Does the house comply with Swiss standards?
Yes: the structure is designed with your engineer to SIA standards and the energy and building-permit requirements of your canton.
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.
