Hello everyone,
We are currently looking for a prefab home manufacturer to build our shell-and-core house and are a bit unsure at the moment, so we have a question for you in the forum.
Which manufacturer offers the highest quality, particularly regarding wall construction?
We already have some offers, but they are all within the same range, so we want to focus on quality and ecological aspects.
The candidates are
- Rubner
- Sonnleitner
- Ziegler
- Kurz
- Keitel-Haus
It’s worth mentioning that we are building a semi-detached house with a granny flat, totaling 250sqm (2,690 sq ft) over two floors.
We place great value on natural wall construction and ecological materials.
Does anyone have detailed experience with these companies or know more about them?
Thanks for your support!
Best regards

So, there’s no substitute for going through catalogs and doing your own research. What we personally liked a lot, but unfortunately was well over budget, was Held Haus from the Black Forest with their fully wood fiber insulation.

What exactly is that – it’s timber framing, right, or am I misunderstanding something?Ligno Trend constructs the wall using cross-laminated timber panels. So, it’s solid.We used blown-in cellulose insulation. It’s recycled material, has a low carbon footprint, makes the walls a bit thicker, and provides better sound insulation.

Go to a carpenter who uses LignoTrend solid wood construction. Very impressive build quality – the extra cost for solid wood was a bit high for us, but we still went with the carpenter. Ah, cool – very interesting. Is the house already finished? Any experience?
