Timber construction at the highest level: build your Südtirolhaus with us.

We take care of our customers and their timber construction projects - from southern Germany across the picturesque Alps, along the enchanting Lake Garda to the heart of Italy. We build around cities such as Munich, Bolzano, Trento, Verona, Brescia, Milan, Turin, Venice, Udine, Trieste, Bologna, Florence and Perugia. We are also active in the surrounding regions where timber construction is particularly appreciated, such as Bavaria, South Tyrol, Trentino, Lombardy, Piedmont, Veneto, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Emilia-Romagna, Marche, Umbria, Abruzzo and Tuscany.

Although proximity to our customers offers certain advantages, we are not limited exclusively to them. We are always ready to realize timber construction projects in other regions, depending on individual needs and circumstances. Our guiding principle is flexibility - we adapt to a wide variety of locations and situations in order to optimally meet our customers' requirements.

At Südtirolhaus we speak the following languages:

• German: South Tyrol is a German-speaking region and therefore German is also our mother tongue.
• Italian: Due to the geographical location of South Tyrol and the resulting bilingualism, Italian is an everyday language here.
• English: As a global lingua franca, we use English to provide our customers with the best possible support.

Our main concern is to ensure smooth communication and to understand and fulfill the individual requirements of our customers in the best possible way.

A timber construction company like Südtirolhaus has a wide range of special knowledge and skills that are required to work efficiently with wood and successfully implement timber construction projects. These include:

• Knowledge of materials: Understanding of the properties of wood, including the different types of wood and their respective strengths and weaknesses, as well as in-depth knowledge of the wide range of fasteners and fixing materials. The tried and tested use of predominantly natural insulation materials for walls and roofs also requires a sound knowledge of these material properties and composition. The constant exchange with our partner companies ensures that the quality requirements of Südtirolhaus are continuously adapted to the current state of the art.
• Design and planning: Ability to create efficient and aesthetically pleasing execution details that meet the client's requirements and wishes. This also includes knowledge of current trends and technologies in timber construction.
• Construction techniques: Knowledge of special construction techniques for timber structures, including timber frame construction or timber panel construction, solid timber construction and log construction. This also includes the ability to plan and implement construction details that are crucial for the stability and durability of the structure.
• Environmental awareness: understanding of sustainable implementation in timber construction, including the use of controlled wood and ecological building materials such as wood fiber insulation, advice on energy-efficient design principles and, last but not least, efforts to avoid waste on the construction site and the proper disposal of construction site waste.
• Standards and regulations: Knowledge of the current building regulations and standards for timber buildings, including fire and noise protection, as well as the minimum standards for building energy requirements.
• Project management: Skills in the coordination and supervision of construction processes, including scheduling, budgeting and quality control on site.
• Communication and customer service: Ability to communicate effectively with customers, suppliers and other stakeholders to ensure that the requirements of the project are clear and implemented.

Together, these skills and abilities enable Südtirolhaus to create high-quality, durable and attractive wooden structures that meet the needs of designers and customers.

Choosing the best timber construction or timber house building company can be crucial to the quality and longevity of your timber house. Here are some steps that can help you in your search:

• Research: Start with an online search to find local and regional timber house construction companies with experience. Use search terms such as "timber house construction", "timber construction company" or "prefabricated timber houses" in connection with your location.
• References and reviews: Ask friends, family or acquaintances who have experience with timber house construction companies for recommendations. Also read online reviews and testimonials to find out how satisfied previous customers were with the respective companies.
• Experience and qualifications: Select companies that have sufficient experience and appropriate qualifications. Find out about the number of timber houses already built, the construction methods used and the qualifications of the employees.
• Certifications and memberships: Make sure that the company has significant certifications and memberships from recognized institutions. Examples of this include PEFC certification for sustainable forestry, as well as sound proof of quality via territorial construction associations, such as S.A.L.E. certification via the Italian Timber Construction Association FLA or entry in the national SOA register.
• Quotation and prices: Request quotes from a few selected timber construction companies and compare the prices. Pay attention not only to the total price, but also ask about the services included and the materials used. Bear in mind that the cheapest offer is usually not the best.
• Portfolio and viewings: Review the company's completed projects to get an idea of the quality of their work. If possible, ask to visit one or more properties to see the construction methods and materials first-hand and perhaps ask for experience directly from the homeowner.
• Communication and service: Make sure the company is professional, responsive and willing to answer your questions and address your concerns. Good communication and customer service are important for a successful collaboration during and after construction.
• Contract conditions: Read contracts and warranty terms carefully before deciding on a company. Make sure that all aspects of the project, such as services, materials, schedule and payment terms, are clear and understandable.

After going through these steps, you should be able to find a timber house building company that meets your requirements and wishes.

Funding opportunities vary greatly depending on the period, region and country. In Italy, for example, subsidies are currently being granted under the national reconstruction plan "PNRR", while in Germany the switch from fossil fuels to sustainable heat generators is currently being promoted.

A brief overview:

• General construction grants: These are usually offered in the form of tax concessions for specific construction projects or renovation measures; direct cash grants are rarely available. Building owners in South Tyrol are rewarded with a cubature bonus, among other things, if the building is certified with the voluntary additional "Nature" certification by the Agency for Energy South Tyrol - CasaClima.
• Subsidies for energy saving: Support can be provided, for example, for the implementation of energy-optimizing measures, such as replacing the old heating system, replacing the windows or insulating the building envelope.
• Sustainability grants: Funding is often available for projects that focus on sustainability and environmental responsibility. Direct subsidies are available for the installation of heat pumps with photovoltaic systems or for the installation of charging stations for electric mobility, among other things.
• Simplified access to loans: Thanks to our certifications and the agreements between the National Timber Construction Association and various Italian banking institutions, our customers enjoy easier access to loans or other forms of financing from conventional banking institutions.
• Subsidies and conventions: Depending on the region and specific project, different types of government or regional subsidies and agreements may be available.

In general, however, there is a discernible trend that it is mainly measures on existing buildings that are being promoted, but less or not at all on new buildings.

It should be noted that the specific funding opportunities may vary depending on the period, country, region and type of construction project. We therefore recommend that you obtain thorough information before starting a project and, if necessary, seek professional advice.
