Hello everyone, we are about to start our house construction project near Heide in Dithmarschen and are considering possibly building a solid wood house. The question is which providers would be suitable for this. Maybe someone here in the forum has experience with local companies?
Of course, I have come across, for example, Fjorborg, but I believe they work with timber frame construction rather than solid wood, which is quite different in terms of quality. Besides that, from various people’s experiences, I have heard that local providers are often more reliable and offer better deals.
What is your opinion on this, and can you recommend some companies with whom you have had positive experiences in and around Heide?

For example, near you there is Naturbau Meldorf. They don’t just quickly glue things together. Unfortunately, they don’t build in Hamburg, it’s too far away. A pity...
By the way, as far as I know, modern Swedish houses are also not solid timber houses.

Grillhendl23 Jul 2020 06:16@bauking01: We also built a timber frame Swedish house. I couldn’t find any evidence that parts were glued together, and it definitely doesn’t feel wobbly since it’s double sheathed (or “covered,” as you put it)… and I was on the construction site every day—glue would not have gone unnoticed by me.
At the beginning, a delivery of beams arrived, and two carpenters built the shell in eight weeks—so it’s not a case of “quickly glued together” either.
I think you should first familiarize yourself with this subject and get detailed information on how, what exactly, and why.
But if you want something “solid,” you probably won’t get around building a solid masonry house. Wood—in any construction method—is always less soundproof than solid construction.

But I guess the original poster’s idea of a wooden house tends more towards a “Bavarian alpine hut,” “Canadian wooden house” or log cabin... It seems that the fact wooden houses have become quite diverse nowadays has not really been recognized yet.

So it should definitely be wood. Either a type of Swedish house or something along the lines of a Polar Life House.That’s why I mentioned the construction method of Swedish houses.D

I cannot confirm that wooden houses are more prone to sound transmission. Ours definitely is not.Did you build using timber frame construction?Similar topics
