Estonia has a long tradition of producing houses from local pine or spruce. You can still find log homes that are over 300 years old. The industrial production of prefab buildings started already in the 1950s and has seen rapid development in the past 20 years, becoming one of the key industries in Estonia.
Using scientific research, certified materials and controlled production processes, we are able to deliver every type of building from a complex high-rise to a handcrafted sauna.
