Eco-Friendly Timber Construction Solutions

iDomus Construction specialises in eco-friendly, carbon-neutral prefabricated solid timber systems for a wide range of domestic, commercial, and public projects. Our fast-track, fully solid timber panelling system enables completely sustainable and efficient construction.

Sustainable Timber Construction

The Solid Wood Construction System is based on Glulam Panels, featuring rebates on both sides for easy vertical connections. These panels are used alongside Glulam beams, which serve as wall plates and top beams and act as opening lintels. All materials are secured with screw fixings, making the components fully reusable, fully recyclable, eco-friendly, and ideal for healthy buildings. This system aligns perfectly with the principles of a circular economy.

Solid Timber Construction

Our solid timber construction system utilises parallel lamination (PLT) and Glulam beams, offering a sustainable and structurally robust building solution. With its low impact on the environment and ability to be fully recycled, it’s ideal for modern projects.

Charred Timber Cladding

Our charred timber cladding is crafted using the ancient Japanese technique of Shou Sugi Ban, providing natural resistance to weather and decay. This unique process results in visually stunning cladding with deep, rich colours and textures.

Thermo Wood Cladding

Thermo Wood cladding is thermally modified Redwood, offering exceptional durability and a lifespan of around 30 years. The heat treatment process makes it resistant to rot and movement, providing a sustainable and eco-friendly option.

Modular Units

Our modular units are made from solid timber elements and are designed to be flexible and adaptable for various purposes, from school units and hospital staff accommodation to recreational spaces and slow living environments. These units are fully reusable, sustainable, and recyclable.

Why Choose Our Solid Timber Construction System

We provide sustainable and reusable building solutions using solid timber elements and glulam beams. Our construction elements for walls, floors, and ceilings are made from kiln-dried, factory-prefabricated solid timber. These components are assembled on-site with stainless steel self-drilling screws, ensuring durability and precision. This building system is ideal for those who prioritise ecology and sustainability. It offers an environmentally friendly, healthy, and cost-effective construction solution, promoting a better living environment and improved health.

CO2 Locked in our timber

Tons

Environmentally Friendly

Wood is a natural, sustainable building material that stores CO2, helping to reduce the carbon footprint. The prefabrication system minimises waste during construction. Glulam, made from natural resins, is a highly ecological product, contributing to a greener planet.

Economical

The HBE glulam system offers a fast-track construction method, 10-15 times faster than traditional methods. This system is also 20% cheaper than traditional timber frame structures and 40% cheaper than the CLT system, making it a cost-effective choice.

Healthy

Solid timber has antistatic properties that reduce electromagnetic waves, promoting a healthier living environment. Natural wood walls and ceilings allow the house to ‘breathe,’ providing a more comfortable atmosphere. This is especially beneficial for people with allergies, respiratory issues, or skin problems.

Fire Resistant

Solid timber walls and ceilings have self-extinguishing properties, making them fire-resistant. They can withstand high temperatures for longer without collapsing, unlike steel structures.

Building Physics

Glulam is lightweight yet strong, offering the strength of steel without its weight. The absence of cold bridges and construction moisture contributes to better insulation. Additionally, there’s no need for chemical treatments, ensuring a cleaner environment.

Fully Reusable

Solid timber buildings can be dismantled at the end of their lifecycle and fully reused, contributing to a circular economy. This reduces construction pollution and ensures a more sustainable approach to building design.

Meet the iDomus Team

iDomus Construction was formed in 2009 by Dainius Prakapavicius, a Lithuanian national who moved to Ireland in 2005. With over 15 years of experience in the construction business, Dainius holds a BTech diploma from Dublin Institute of Technology in Construction Site Management. Jurgita Prakapaviciene, who holds an Interior Design and 3D diploma from Dublin Institute of Design, oversees marketing and project management.

After extensive training in Germany for Energy Efficiency Building Systems, we have focused on sustainable and ecological construction. With more than 15 years of experience in the Irish construction market and six years of involvement in solid timber construction, we aim to bring innovative and sustainable modular solutions to various industries.
