Class A guaranteed, without air conditioning

We're building our own house in Algoz — designed for short-term rental, with the same Passive House standard we deliver to every client. From the structural envelope (stability, thermal performance and acoustics) to the technical MEP (electrical, telecoms, gas, water & drainage, fire safety) — full project, from study to keys.

Panel technology, layer by layer

Every wall is a multi-layer factory-built panel. Combined with XPS insulation under the reinforced concrete slab, it forms a continuous envelope with no thermal bridges — Passive House standard.

  • Factory quality control

    WEINMANN CNC cutting, controlled humidity and each panel checked before shipment.

  • Airtightness < 0.6 h⁻¹

    Blower door test after assembly — passive climate control via mechanical ventilation with heat recovery.

Why we're different

Enough of building sites that never end

We know why you're here. Traditional construction fails where it hurts most — we solve each of those points, one by one.

How it's built today

Traditional construction, endless building

The points where conventional construction usually fails — and where the client suffers.
  • Slipping deadlines Months of delay stacking up due to weather and MEP dependencies.
  • Runaway budget Extra work and mid-project add-ons that drive the price up.
  • On-site errors Breaking, redoing and waiting — each fix adds days and costs.
  • Uncoordinated trades Each contractor on their own schedule — the client manages the conflict.
  • House dependent on AC Envelope without thermal control — more consumption, less comfort.
  • Weather-dependent construction Rain, wind and humidity halt construction for weeks — and damage exposed materials.
How we do it

Ecoimport Wood, panel by panel

How we solve every point — no exceptions, with fixed timeline and price from day one.
  • 2-week factory build Panels produced on a fixed timeline after design approval.
  • Fixed price from day one Turnkey budget, no mid-project extras.
  • Factory panel, no rework Millimetre-precision cutting and assembly — no breaking and redoing on site.
  • Embedded MEP Electrical, plumbing and telecoms integrated into the panels from origin.
  • Passive House Class A Comfort year-round — no dependence on AC or heating.
