We produce
Timber-framed element houses
The manufacturing and assembling of a element house only takes about two months before you can move on to interior decoration. All the works are completed quickly, as no “wet” technologies, such as plastering or concreting, are being used while constructing wooden houses. Compare that to masonry houses where time for drying is required to ensure the effectiveness of said technologies. Element houses can be manufactured and assembled during any time of the year. Houses of this type do not require massive foundation, which further shortens the construction time.
Modular houses
Modular homes offer a variety of benefits over traditional stick-built homes and other forms of construction. One major advantage is speed of construction. Because modular homes are built in a controlled factory environment, they can be constructed more quickly than traditional homes. This can save homeowners both time and money. Additionally, modular homes are built to the same building codes and standards as traditional homes, ensuring that they are just as safe and durable.

How it works
Step 1: From idea to project
At this stage you have a dream, an idea. This stage of the project is very interesting, but at the same time very important. The decisions made at this stage will affect the course of the whole project and the final result, the success of the project.
We recommend taking the time to gather information and analyze it. Quite a lot of information can be found in various information sources, it is worth talking to construction specialists, house manufacturers with experience in the production and construction of frame-panel houses.
The more you delve in and take the time to project, the more likely you are to make the right decisions.
When contacting us, you may not have house drawings or have drawings that are not suitable for the construction of a frame-panel house. In any case, we will find out your needs, wishes, vision and summarize the available information to help you choose the right project. By getting acquainted with the construction of panel houses, we will help to avoid incorrect decisions with the materials used.
Once we have agreed on the house project – we will provide you with an accurate price offer.
After signing the contract, we will move on to the next stage – house production.
Step 2: House manufacturing
A panel house is a house built of factory-made panels.
Technologists, using a specialized panel house design program SEMA, will prepare construction drawings of the house, where every detail and every panel is detailed. According to these drawings, the panels of the components of the house (walls, ceilings, roof) are made.
The completeness of a factory-made house is usually up to 80%. The high quality of the interior surfaces of the house reduces the cost of finishing work, which is usually not cheap.
Typically, the construction of a house and the manufacturing process take 4-6 weeks.
Once the house panels are manufactured, they are stored in the factory until the agreed installation date.
Step 3: Assembly
Assembling the panels on the construction site is no less a responsible and important step compared to building a house.
All installation teams are made up of experienced panel house assemblers. Our staff assembles the panels according to the available drawings, makes sure that the house is properly insulated.
Installation is done by mobile crane directly from the vehicle after checking the dimensions of the foundation and leveling the heights. Modern sealing materials and fasteners are used during installation.
After installing the walls of the first floor, the ceiling, the walls of the second floor, masonry, longitudinal and roof panels are further installed. Roof components can be supplied in parts or assembled panels.
Assembly of a medium-sized house usually takes about 3-5 days.
History of timber framed houses
Wood panel houses originated from timber-frame houses. This process was accelerated by the expanding standardization of construction products and the advantages of this particular method of manufacturing. The process of making the panel walls, the roofing or the partitions does not depend on the weather conditions, as it is done inside. In Europe the first such house was built in 1931 and was designed by the architect Walter Gropius – it was an order from a German company. Construction of panel houses began to spread in the USA in 1945 and in Lithuania such houses have been built since the seventies. New construction technologies and modern materials result in quality panel houses.
Panel house – what is it?
Upon starting to take interest in building a house, people come across such terms like timber-frame house, panel house, module house. All these house types could be described as timber-frame as long as their supporting frame is made of wood. The terms of panel or module house came about when parts of the house (panels, modules) started to be manufactured in a factory. The supporting frame of a panel house is made up of a wooden carcass. The gaps in the carcass are filled with various construction materials, several layers with different functionalities are used, such as wind proofing, waterproofing, ventilation and heat insulation.
Where are timber-frame panel houses built?
The majority of the population in the USA, Germany, Scandinavia and other countries live in such houses. In the USA they make up 90% of the total housing market, in Sweden – 80% and in the UK – 45%. These numbers are constantly increasing in other countries as well, including the Baltics. For several decades now, pre-fabricated house building is the most popular construction technology in the world and as a result timber-frame panel houses are sometimes called 21st century houses. Over the last few decades this house construction technology has improved significantly because of the equipment that is being used and new construction materials.
Inflammability of a timber-frame panel house:
If it was not for this misconception, timber-frame panel houses would have significantly more supporters. Obviously, if the owner of the house was trying to save money by sacrificing quality and safety during the assemblage process, there will be a possibility of an accident ocurring. A reason for the fire might be poorly insulated flues, improper installation of the power system, saving money on timber impregnation. Not following the instructions for installing flues, boilers or the power system may result in burning down not only a timber-framebuilding, but also a masonry house. A masonry house has the same precarious segments: the rafters, especially at the point where they meet the chimney, the wooden partitions, etc. If an accident occurs and a fire happens to break out, the owner of a timber-frame panel house will have suffered less damage than the person owning a masonry house because it is easier to replace the separate segments of a timber-frame panel house than to rebuild a section of a masonry building.
The longevity of panel houses:
The tradition of timber-frame houses dates back by 1300 years. Up to this day there are carcass-based buildings in Japan and Norway, built in the 10th and the 11th centuries. Yet our ancestors had no idea about the currently-used impregnation solutions, drying chambers or special fastening elements made of metal. A properly built and maintained timber-frame panel house lasts about 100 years. It could be said that a house stands as long as it is being inhabited and maintained. Masonry buildings break down just as easily if abandoned. Due to their renovational properties, timber-frame panel houses are unmatched by other types of buildings. The owner can easily replace interior or exterior decoration, reinforce separate parts of the carcass, assemble additional annexes or internal partitions, replace or repair the systems built into the walls.
