Glulam timber homes · since 2009

The long house, drawn toward the light

One long volume, glazed for the whole length of the living room. Our own glulam production, a price fixed in the contract, and one person accountable from first sketch to keys.

The estimate is free and commits you to nothing. We reply within 15 minutes.

640 houses built50-year guaranteeOur own mill in RoslagenPrice fixed in the contract

Our own production

We glue and cut the beams ourselves — no middlemen, and nobody else's idea of quality inside your walls.

A 50-year guarantee

Not a line in a brochure but a clause of its own, covering the glulam load-bearing structure.

A fixed price

Costed from the specification down to the dollar. The price does not creep during the build — that is in writing.

Service after handover

Scheduled visits and adjustments for the first three years. After that, whenever you call, with no end date.

01 Format

One floor. One line.
All the light

A longhouse is a stretched-out home with a fully glazed south façade. Light reaches every room, there are no stairs, and living room, kitchen and terrace read as a single frame.

02 Collection

Six houses somebody
has already built

These are not pictures off the internet: every design has working drawings, a beam schedule and real addresses you can drive to. Areas are surveyed; the price covers the shell with roof and windows.

See all 12 designs with prices

An open collection: areas, timelines and prices are visible straight away — no form, no sign-up.

03 House of the month

Vättern — eighteen metres of glass

The Vättern: a single-storey volume glazed along the full length of the façade

1,767 sq ft · 3 bedrooms · 430 sq ft terrace

Living room, kitchen and dining run in a single line along the glazed façade. The bedrooms are tucked into the solid north wing — quiet and darkness exactly where you want them.

04 Material

Glulam from
Nordic pine

We dry the lamellas to 10–12 %, grade them for strength and glue them with the grain mirrored. A wall built this way does not twist, settles by less than 1 % and holds its shape for decades.

05 Production

Six steps
from log to wall

We do not resell anyone else's timber. Everything that goes into your house passes through our workshop in Norrtälje — and past our own inspectors.

The technology in detail

Batch control: moisture check on a finished beam
  • 01

    Raw material

    Winter-felled pine and spruce from Värmland and Dalarna. Tight growth rings, less resin.

  • 02

    Drying

    Kiln-dried to 10–12 % moisture with every batch checked. Wet timber never reaches the line.

  • 03

    Grading

    Lamellas are strength-graded; knots and defects are cut out and the boards finger-jointed.

  • 04

    Gluing

    Formaldehyde-free D4 melamine adhesive, a 1.0 MPa press and six hours under load.

  • 05

    Machining

    Notches, grooves and service openings are cut by CNC from your drawings, to within ±1 mm.

  • 06

    Sections

    From 160×160 to 240×360 mm. For full-width glazing we make glulam beams up to 12 metres long with no joint.

07 An easy start

Save what you like —
we will do the rest

No brief required. Just tag what appeals to you: a double-height room, a flat roof, a wall of glass facing water. A day later an architect sends three sketches built from exactly those tags. Free.

Costed to your parameters in five minutes. No obligation — just take the number.

09 How we build

Seven stages, and not one
“we'll price that later”

Every stage has a deadline, a named owner and a document you receive at the end of it. All of it lives in your online account: photo reports, sign-offs, inspection checklists.

Plot survey

Stage 01 · Plot

Plot survey

Ground conditions, levels, access, boundaries, sun path. You get a risk report before you have paid for anything.

Stage 02 · Design

Architecture and layouts

Three sketches to choose from, then working drawings: junctions, services, beam schedule.

Stage 03 · Costing

A fixed price

Costed from the specification, not by eye. The contract price does not change before handover.

Stage 04 · Foundation

Foundation

Insulated raft or piled slab — decided by the ground report, not by the price list.

Stage 05 · Factory

The house kit

Beams are cut on our CNC from your drawings. Every element is labelled.

Stage 06 · Assembly

Raising the shell

A crew raises walls and roof in 6–10 weeks. You follow the whole thing in your online account.

Stage 07 · Keys

Services and finishes

Heating, ventilation, electrics, final finishes, commissioning and handover.

10 Openness

Come and see
the factory

Once a month we open the workshop: a walk along the gluing line, a conversation with our process engineer and other people's mistakes shown on real samples. Nothing is sold that day — we simply show you how it works.

Finished-beam storage, Norrtälje. 42,000 m³ a year.

One workshop shift: 300 people across production and assembly.

Saturdays, with transfer and lunch on us. Nothing is sold on tour day.

12 Owners’ stories

Maja and Anders Sandberg

“We were afraid the timber would twist within a year and the doors would stop closing. Three winters on, we have adjusted one door — and only because we rehung it ourselves. The house stands exactly as it was raised.”

Maja and Anders SandbergVättern, Värmdö · 2023

Nathalie Kim

“I turned up with a folder of pictures off the internet and felt embarrassed that I could not explain what I wanted. In an hour the architect turned those pictures into one coherent house — and it came in cheaper than I expected.”

Nathalie KimSiljan, Ekerö · 2024

Johan Nyström

“I am a builder myself and I am pedantic. I asked for the inspection checklists after every stage and they sent them. Once I found a defect myself; they redid it at their own cost without an argument.”

Johan NyströmMälaren, Sigtuna · 2022

13 Mistakes, explained

Watch this before
you sign a contract

Every fortnight our founder takes apart the mistakes — ours included. It is cheaper than discovering them on your own foundation.

14 Services by stage

Take the lot.
Or just the shell

We will not push you into the full package. But we say plainly where saving money means doing the work twice: services, for instance, are better designed before the walls go up, not after.

A geologist and an engineer visit before you buy the land or start designing. You get a report you can negotiate the plot price with.

  • Ground investigation: three boreholes to 6 m, lab analysis
  • Topographic survey and level differences
  • Planning restrictions and protected zones checked
  • Connection points: gas, electricity, water

Everything around the house from one contractor under one costing, so you are not refereeing five crews.

  • Well, septic system, storm water and drainage
  • Power from the meter box to the house, earthing
  • Driveway, hardstanding, perimeter apron
  • Landscaping: planting, lighting, fencing

Glulam can be left exposed, but it has to be protected properly or it turns grey within three years.

  • Sanding, fire and biocide treatment, three coats of translucent stain
  • Standing-seam metal roof or bitumen shingle
  • Gutters, snow guards, a ventilated roof build-up
  • Decking: larch, composite or thermo-ash

A separate contract and a separate costing — but the same people and the same inspectors who built the shell.

  • Underfloor heating, radiators, heat pump or gas boiler
  • Balanced ventilation with heat recovery
  • Designed electrics, data cabling, lighting scenes
  • Final finishes, joinery to design, commissioning

15 Paperwork

Read the paperwork
before you pay

We send the contract, the guarantee and the certificates before the meeting, not after. If something in them bothers you we discuss it and change it — that is normal practice.

16 First step

A private meeting
with an architect

An hour or so at a big table: we look at your plot on the map, work through your wish list and show you costings for similar houses. Free and without obligation — even if you build with someone else.
