Sourcing from Romania · timber houses and structures

Prefabricated timber houses and structures, delivered and assembled in the West

Romanian timber-frame factories have been shipping wall elements, roof trusses and complete houses to France, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy for two decades. They design in Cadwork, cut on CNC lines and send their own assembly teams. This is the vertical where Romania is quietly strongest, and the one we know best.

What Romania does well in timber construction

Platform-frame prefabrication at factory precision. The producers we work with prefabricate closed wall elements, floors and roofs on Weinmann-type lines, from the client's own drawings or from their in-house design office. Insulation, membranes, windows and façade can be fitted in the factory. On site, a house closes in days.

Their own assembly teams. Unlike a kit supplier, most Romanian timber-frame factories send their own crews to erect the structure on your site, in France, Belgium, Germany or Switzerland. One contract, one accountable party, from drawing to weathertight shell.

Engineered timber, too. Glulam and CLT structures for halls, roofs and public buildings, with engineering support, come from a smaller group of specialised producers. And for renovation, prefabricated façade and roof elements are an emerging service.

“In the Carpathians, a house is still built the way it should be: dry, precise, by people who have done it a thousand times.”
