It starts in the forest
Spruce from managed forests: a renewable material that keeps its carbon stored for the life of the house.

How it's built
Cross-laminated timber, from forest to frame.
Every Timbr home is built from CLT: solid timber panels made in a factory to millimetre tolerances, delivered to site and assembled into a complete structure in days.
The material
What CLT is
Cross-laminated timber is made by gluing layers of kiln-dried spruce boards together, each layer turned 90° to the one below. Panels use an odd number of layers — typically three, five or seven — and are pressed into large, flat elements.
Crossing the grain makes the panel strong and dimensionally stable in both directions, so a single element can act as a load-bearing wall, a floor or a roof. Openings for windows, doors and services are cut by CNC before the panel leaves the factory.

Why timber
Why we build with it
Stores carbon
Trees absorb CO₂ as they grow. A Timbr home holds around 40 tonnes of it in its structure, and its embodied emissions are close to half those of a concrete and masonry equivalent.
Precise
Panels are cut by CNC from the digital model, so walls are straight, openings are exact and joints are tight — which is what makes high airtightness achievable.
Fast and dry on site
The structure is assembled in days rather than months, with no curing time and far less site waste, noise and traffic.
Safe in fire
Solid timber chars slowly and predictably. The char layer protects the panel core, and each element is designed for its required fire resistance.
Light and earthquake-resilient
CLT weighs around a fifth of concrete. Less mass means smaller foundations and lower seismic forces on the building.
Comfortable to live in
Timber buffers humidity, stays warm to the touch and, with the right insulation, keeps the interior stable through summer and winter.
The process
From configuration to keys
01
Configure
Choose your home, finishes, efficiency level and site online, and share the link.
02
Verify
Our engineers confirm the site loads, ground and access, and issue a fixed offer with a project LCA.
03
Permit
We prepare the permit documentation and support the application with your municipality.
04
Fabricate
CLT panels are produced and CNC-cut while foundations are prepared on site.
05
Assemble & hand over
The structure rises in under two weeks, followed by envelope, services and finishing.
