Timber frame & CLT homes · The Netherlands
Husfrema designs, prefabricates and builds timber frame and CLT houses. One engineer responsible for your home — from the first sketch to the keys.

(00) Approach
We engineer every home as a precise digital model — every stud, panel and connection — before a single piece is cut. That means factory precision, a weather-tight shell in days and no surprises on site.
(01) Systems
Timber frame and CLT are both prefabricated, low-carbon and highly insulated. The right choice depends on your design, interior and budget — we help you decide.
System A
A light structure of studs with insulation inside the wall. Closed wall, floor and roof elements are made in the factory, often with windows already fitted.
System B
Solid panels of crosswise-glued timber layers form walls, floors and roof. Strong, airtight and beautiful enough to leave exposed inside.

Inside the wall
Every layer has a job: weather protection, insulation, airtightness, structure. Here is what a typical Husfrema wall is made of.
(02) Services
Architecture and structure developed together, so the design is buildable from day one.
Walls, floors and roof elements are produced indoors, in dry conditions, straight from our model.
A crane, a small crew and a few days later the shell is closed. Then we finish to the stage you choose.
Built in the factory.
Assembled in days.
Comfortable for decades.
(03) Built for the Netherlands
Timber is one of the easiest ways to meet today's energy and environmental requirements. We design every home to them from the very first sketch.
Minimum thermal resistance in m²·K/W under the BBL. Our standard build-ups go beyond it.
The Besluit bouwwerken leefomgeving under the Omgevingswet sets the technical requirements every home must meet.
An airtight, well-insulated timber envelope makes the BENG energy targets easier to reach.
Timber stores carbon and scores strongly in the Milieuprestatie Gebouwen calculation.
A complete, well-documented 3D model makes the dossier for the kwaliteitsborger straightforward.
(04) What we build
(05) Process
Your wishes, plot, budget and timeline — and an honest first check of what is possible.
Floor plans, 3D views and a first cost estimate for the chosen system.
Permit application, structural calculations and a fabrication-ready model.
Elements produced in the factory while the foundation is prepared on site.
The shell goes up in days and is closed against the weather.
Finishing to the agreed stage, final inspection and the keys.
(06) About
Husfrema is led by a structural engineer whose daily work is large-scale timber structures — CLT, glulam and complex connections. We bring the same rigour to every home we design.
You work directly with the person who designs and calculates your house. No hand-offs between architect, engineer and builder; one model, one plan, one responsible partner.
