MODERN MODULAR HOUSES
Quickly becoming the self-builder’s preferred approach, Baufritz explains why building its modular house designs are a great option
Baufritz have established themselves as one of the top ecological timber framed house manufacturers in Europe. We have over a hundred years experience in the German market and have been in the UK for over a decade.
Our houses are constructed using natural local materials, sourced from the sustainable forests located near our manufacturing facility.these materials have been used for millennia to create alpine houses and have shown themselves to be tough and durable in a harsh environment.we have evolved a process using modern manufacturing methods to create extremely well-engineered prefabricated modules in our state-of-the-art factory.these modules can then be transported to the client site and erected in a few days.typically, our houses can go from concept and design to completion in less than 12 months — a significant improvement on traditional construction methods.
SUSTAINABLE DESIGN
We believe your house should be free from the harmful chemicals which have become standard in traditional building methods. As a consequence, all of our materials are tested to ensure no harmful chemicals are present. Climate change mitigation has also placed a focus on the energy consumption of buildings. New builds must deliver significant energy-efficiency improvements. Traditional house designs and construction methods simply cannot meet these standards. All of our houses have excellent energy-efficiency ratings and we have constructed a number of projects to the Passivhaus standard. Many clients include PV (photovoltaic) panels, solar heating and ground source heat pumps to further reduce energy consumption.
You may be surprised to find out that unlike many house builders, there is no such thing as a Baufritz style house. Our approach is to design and construct houses which meet our clients needs. As a client you can select a shell project, where Baufritz deliver and construct walls and roof, or decide on a full turnkey solution, where all aspects of your build are managed by our in-house teams.
