Wood – a natural, durable, and financially attractivematerial

Wood is becoming increasingly popular as a renewable raw material. We specialized in the sustainable use of this natural material 25 years ago. With our own carpentry and joinery workshop, as well as our parquet flooring and insulation technology divisions, we are a craft business that makes dream homes a reality – tailored to individual wishes and needs.

 

Healthy living is in vogue

Sustainable and healthy building and living are more in demand today than ever before. Since our foundation, we have been using the natural resource of wood to realize dream homes – from individual pieces of furniture to the interior design of any room to complete wooden houses. Our expertise in building biology as specialists flows into every project, from planning to completion. Through a well-thought-out combination of heat storage and moisture buffers, we create a healthy indoor climate that meets your needs – just as you would expect from a house as the "third skin of the human being." We are also extremely responsible when it comes to the building materials we use. We favor building materials that are high-quality, durable, and environmentally friendly. Among other things, we use products such as clay building boards and sheep's wool. This consistent focus on ecology and sustainability, as well as our passion for wood as a material, are our trademarks.

Renovation as a contribution to sustainability

Old buildings have a reputation for being expensive to maintain, structurally outdated, and architecturally obsolete. In fact, renovating old buildings requires a great deal of care, creativity, and analytical skills. However, anyone who takes a respectful approach to the construction of an old building, its history, and the building culture will recognize a great deal of building fabric that is worth preserving and capable of being preserved—which, incidentally, is a hobbyhorse of our carpentry professionals. With our responsible and resource-conscious use of building materials, we make a valuable contribution to the architectural heritage and, at the same time, to the environment.

Support with financing

The cantons provide subsidies for energy efficiency measures through building programs. Whether an application for subsidies is worthwhile can be determined using so-called U-value calculations. We offer builders the option of calculating the energy efficiency measures for roofs and facades and, if desired, we can also submit the application for subsidies.

Living in the third stage of life

It is human nature to spend more time in one's own four walls after the age of 50. A comfortable, cozy, and healthy living environment contributes greatly to quality of life. Individual needs and spatial possibilities are very diverse. Whether it's a guest room, separate bedrooms, a granny flat, a bathroom per floor, or an additional staircase: those who consider their own living situation with a view to old age can prevent potential barriers and obstacles at an early stage. With forward planning, individual living in the third stage of life can be made comfortable and safe. As wood professionals, we are very familiar with all structural issues relating to living in old age and use our expertise and creativity to implement individual ideas.
