Nordic Houses
Estonian-Norwegian capital based company established in 1999.
Originally mainly focused on the produc-tion of wooden houses, now grown into a bigger group of companies including two production plants, an engineering unit, a construction unit, sales and project man-agement unit and a wide partner network.
Has produced over 1000 houses for Norwegian market.
Granted a European Technical Approval certificate.
Nordic Houses is a member of the Buen Gruppen, the Estonian Woodhouse Assotiation and Estonian Wood-house Cluster, the Estonian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Norwegian - Estonian Chamber of Com-merce and the German - Baltic Chamber of Commerce.
We shape wooden buildings. Our job is to shape architects’ visions and inspirations into actual buildings. For that purpose, we design, manufacture, deliver and erect timber houses.In fulfilling this role, we are led by the followingprinciples:
We TAKE INITIATIVEThe challenge for Nordic Houses is to create addedvalue throughout the entire process. In order to do that, it is necessary to take initiative and lead the pro-cess.
We dare to THINK DIFFERENTLYBeing the best carpenter is not sufficient in build-ing wood houses. Success is ensured by adapting to changes in the world and, even more so, by initiating such changes.
You can TRUST USKeeping our word and fulfilling agreements are impor-tant to us. To fulfil our role, we have to be accurate, reliable and keep our word.

Prefab timber constructionsaves our environment.
Among all widespread construction materials, wood is the only one that is truly carbon neutral (or even better than neutral).
Only timber from sustainably managed forests is used in Nordic Houses’ factories.
Wood processing in the factory causes practically no waste at all (because of good optimization, proper waste manage-ment and wood’s good recyclability).
In comparison to other alternatives, the transport and han-dling of prefab timber structures is energy efficient because of their moderate weight.
Because of good insulation properties, timber frame struc-tures are the best way to build (very) energy efficient houses.
Accurate prefabrication in controlled conditions (indoors) grants the best structural quality to fulfil the designed pa-rameters of low-energy houses.

Prefabricated timber
construction enables a
vast rangeof architectural solutions to
be realized with high quality
and in short time periods.
ELEMENTSStructural panels are produced in the factory
and can quickly be assembled on site. Accurate
and perfected manufacturing and better control
of the production and building process result in
better care of the building materials and a high
quality outcome.
PRE-CUT Construction timber is produced and prepared in
the factory and assembled on site. Prepared mate-
rial speeds up the on-site work, in comparison to
traditional construction, but is still flexible in terms
of transport and logistics.
MODULES With modules, the factory-based production can
even include furnishing rooms. Together with
good planning, this level of prefabrication can
fit the on-site working time into extremely small
time-frames without taking a toll on quality.

A European Technical Approval (ETA) certificate is issued for Nordic Houses products by the European Organisation for Tech-nical Approvals (EOTA).
A partner for sustainable building
In timber construction, Nordic Houses is an experienced and reliable
partner involved from scratch: from design and product development to
on-site installation of the prefabricated components.
Besides the standard product series, special solutions can also be
developed. Working in close cooperation, the development and produc-
tion units turn customers’ ideas first into detailed virtual reality and then
into real and comfortable houses of different kinds.

Louis Isadore Kahn, the world-famous architect of Estonian origin,
once said: “Do not erect buildings, design a way of living.” It is also our belief
that a building is only a means to achieve the goal of offering people the joy
of living. Therefore, our ultimate goal is to promote Nordic lifestyles through
our houses.
