The project

This modern residential development features five high-efficiency three-story timber panel buildings delivering a total of twenty-one apartments, split into two distinct designs: two buildings with twelve apartments and three buildings with three apartments each. To achieve ultra-fast on-site assembly and minimize weather-related delays, the wall panels were delivered fully pre-fabricated. During manufacturing, a decorative plaster finish was already applied to the exterior of the panels, while windows, integrated roller shutters and both internal and external windowsills were pre-installed. All conduits and junction boxes for electrical installations were embedded directly into the timber frame structure in production, ensuring superior build quality and drastically reducing on-site labor.

What ZTC delivered

  • Engineering and production drawings in SEMA, coordinated with the client's construction team
  • CNC production of walls, floors and roof at ±1 mm (Hundegger)
  • Transport in assembly order and assembly by ZTC's own crews
  • Weathertight handover with CE documentation

Foundation, groundwork and interior finishing fall outside the ZTC scope.
