The permit process for timber prefab homes has become simpler in many areas as timber construction continues to gain popularity due to its many advantages. You will need a standard construction permit from the local authority. We will bring you in contact with one of our local architects, that will guide and advice you on all the necessary documentation to facilitate the process of obtaining the licence to start building a timber super structure or multiple super structures.

The company we collaborate with specializes in the construction of timber frame houses. Al superstructures are fabricated from robust softwood, measured at 195 by 70 mm, conforming to the strength classes C24. However, our primary focus is on C24-grade timber.

All materials are subjected to a detailed impregnation process to bolster the wood's resilience to moisture, decay, and pests. This treatment process extends the durability of the timber, making it better suited to withstand harsh environmental conditions compared to untreated wood. In addition to wood, we incorporate OSB boards, mineral wool insulation, polymer building membranes, gypsum board, and wooden cladding for finishing in our prefab houses.

Our goal is to supply our clients with the finest materials, so control is done carefully on their quality at every stage of production, guaranteeing that the materials meet the declared specifications in terms of moisture content, strength class, and absence of defects. All used timber undergoes strict quality control and is certified by PEFC and FSC confirming that the wood comes from specially certified forests.

Quality is important therefore, every wooden component used in our timber prefab houses is CE marked, affirming its quality. This certification ensures they fulfill all vital parameters such as U-value, material classification, fire safety, and fire resistance. Rest assured, each super structure project is built using certified materials and adheres to European standards. The quality assurance is further backed by the regular ISO 9001:2015 certification process, attesting to the excellence of our business procedures.

We combine traditional methodologies with contemporary innovation. We use technology widely employed in countries known for superior construction quality standards, like Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
Our process enables an expanded cross-section of the materials used in our prefab houses, with a width of 70 mm as opposed to the conventional 45 mm.

We give particular attention to the junctions of frame elements, employing distinctive "mortise and tenon" connections, adhesive bonding, and screw reinforcements. This extended cross-section, coupled with fortified connections, adds increased rigidity to the overall structure, enhancing its solidity.

To implement this technique, we use specialized CNC production lines from the renowned German brand Hundegger. Our arsenal includes the Hundegger Speed Cut, the most efficient line available on the market, as well as the legendary Hundegger K2, a 5-axis machine with virtually limitless processing capabilities, even for larger sections.

Significant savings on transport.
The assembled panels take up more space than the disassembled panel elements. Thus, in a standard 40′ HQ container, you can carry 5 times more disassembled panels than assembled ones.

No panel size restrictions.
In case of delivery of assembled panels, the height of the panel is limited to the height of the container door (2.50 m). This either limits the maximum floor height or leads to a significant complication of the design.

The possibility to complete panels with any options.

The robustness of the wooden frame against various external elements is assured on several fronts:

Firstly, during the design phase, we take into account a broad spectrum of operational conditions, ranging from climatic specifics to seismic activity. This allows us to increase the safety margin by 30 % and use beams of a specific cross-section for the structures.

Then, throughout the construction process, we employ German adhesive for connections and special vapor and windproof membranes to shield the frame from external elements while still allowing the wood to breathe.

Lastly, we calculate all our load-bearing elements according to the European standards Eurocode 5 and 8, ensuring stability against wind and snow loads. If required, we can implement additional construction methods to reinforce joints and offer additional stability

To preserve the integrity and moisture resistance of our timber, certain techniques must be applied. These include covering the components until installation, quickly erecting the roof, and protecting the structure from moisture with specialised vapour and wind barriers. Proper foundation construction and installing the timber frame on a waterproof surface also help to keep moisture out. Furthermore, our treated wood is engineered to withstand moisture penetration and external effects, extending its lifespan.

Let me assure you, we stand behind our products with unwavering dedication to comprehensive after-sales support.

Our team, composed of competent managers and engineers, is always available to address any issues related to maintenance or repair. Should the need arise, we will ask one of our partners to go to your location for an in-depth assessment.

Our prefab homes are designed to be easy to fix and maintain. The timber frame must be protected from moisture exposure, though. Every case is handled separately, and we constantly try to offer the best solutions possible based on the circumstances.

Our prefab houses are designed to stand the test of time. They can last for over a century, some even up to 350 years, if properly maintained!
We guarantee the stability of our buildings even in earthquake-active zones thanks to the use of high-strength timber beams with a cross-section of 195 by 70 mm and an additional safety margin of 30%. The unique characteristics of timber frame prefab houses, especially the flexibility of the connections between the elements, allow them to withstand seismic activity successfully, while more rigid structures might crack and fail.

We work closely with our clients to create a prefab home that perfectly encapsulates their vision and fulfills their needs. Our company takes pride in creating custom prefab house projects. Our expert team is fully equipped and ready to materialize any concept you have, regardless of the project's complexity. Every prefab house we build is the culmination of our dedicated professional team's efforts, turning the unique visions of our clients into tangible reality.

Whatever your specific preferences or ideas might be we will bring them to life in your new home.

We aim to push the boundaries of our technology to meet all your requirements. The only constraint is the height of the frame structure. Prefab houses up to five storeys can be adapted to our technology. To establish the feasibility of prefabricated houses with more than five storeys further study is required.

No worries if you want to change something after we've said "yes" to your design. We can look at all your new ideas and make the changes you want, even if it means we have to start the drawing again, all the way up until we start building your house. We really want to make you happy. You can even make some tweaks to the house after it's all set up. But remember, we need to give any changes the thumbs up first, to make sure they are safe and will make your life in the house better.

We hold the environment in high regard, consistently aiming to reduce our ecological footprint. We use sustainable, renewable resources such as wood. Furthermore, our timber prefab houses are designed to be energy-efficient, reducing overall carbon emissions. Notably, compared to traditional concrete homes, the construction and operation of our prefab houses result in a 53% reduction in CO2 emissions.
Our producer manufactures the timber super structures adhering to the ISO 9001:2015 standards and European building codes, such as Euro code 5 and 8.
They use eco-friendly materials such as FSC or PEFC-certified wood, which indicates responsible forest management, and environmentally friendly Rockwool mineral wool insulation derived from natural rocks. The production processes are designed to minimize our impact on the environment.

We at Joosten Real Estate believe better building materials and products and smarter building practices are of outmost importance, especially when building your future home. The insulation of our choice is RockWool. We also offer wood fibre for projects of 300 m2 or more.

FIRE RESILIENCE
Rockwool insulation is noncombustible ( rated A1 or A2-s1,d0),
and withstands temperatures above 1000 degree celsius without melting this characteristic can greatly help reduce the risk of a fire spreading in a building.

THERMAL PERFORMANCE
Rockwool gets its insulating performance from the tiny pockets of air trapped among the stone wool fibres, which prevent heat transfer, helping buildings stay warm when it's cold outside and cold when it's hot outside.

ACOUSTICS
Rockwool products improve acoustics inside rooms and help block sound from travelling through walls, contributing to making even the noisiest indoor spaces more comfortable.

MOISTURE REPELLENCE
Rockwool insulation repels water and resists moisture, helping to protect the long-term health of buildings and the people inside them.

CIRCULARITY
Rockwool is circular, as a fully recyclable material. Our products can be easily removed from construction sites and recycled back into new products.

DURABILITY
Rockwool insulation can last for at least 65 years with no need for maintenance, and is unaffected by weather, humidity and temperature changes.
