Another successful assembly completed in Kaunas, Lithuania 🇱🇹

Together with our partner EA STATYBA, we assembled a 115 m² house and a 50 m² garage in just 8 working days with a team of four.

The project features:
– Flat roof modern architecture
– Ceiling heights above 3 meters
– A++ energy efficiency class for the main house
– Exterior walls prepared for a future clinker facade system
– Ventilated facade solution for the garage with planned vertical timber cladding

The factory-made panels arrived on site with pre-installed gypsum board and prepared service cavities for engineering systems, helping to significantly speed up installation works on site.

Projects like this are always the result of teamwork.
Special thanks to our Lithuanian partners for the professional and smooth cooperation throughout the process.

We would also like to thank the client for the constructive collaboration, involvement in the project, and support on site during the assembly process.

Looking forward to seeing the next stages of this project completed.

Prefab Assembly in Denmark: Delivering in Complex Locations

Our project on Samsø Island, Denmark, has been successfully completed.

In just 8 days, we assembled the full structure of this single-family prefab house — from the first wall panels to the final installation of the roof structure and rafters.

🚛 But beyond speed, this project highlights something more important:
the ability of prefabrication to deliver in locations with complex logistics.

All building elements were transported by ferry to the island, requiring precise planning and coordination. Despite this, the assembly process remained fast, structured, and predictable.

🌬️ The final stage was completed under storm conditions, yet the project stayed on schedule — demonstrating the reliability of a well-engineered prefab system even in challenging site conditions.

🏗️ This approach allows us to:
• minimize dependency on site conditions
• reduce construction risks
• ensure consistent quality regardless of location
• maintain tight and predictable timelines

🏡 The result is a house that combines traditional Danish architecture with modern engineered timber solutions — delivered efficiently in a challenging environment.

Today, our team is leaving the island by ferry — with another completed project behind us.

This is what prefabrication is about:
not only speed, but the ability to build where it’s difficult to build.

Prefab Assembly in Denmark: Structure & Engineering Coming Together

Our project on Samsø Island is moving forward quickly — the second floor is now fully assembled, and the building volume is clearly taking shape.

🔨 One of the key structural features of this house is the extensive use of glued laminated timber in the intermediate floor.
The grid of massive glulam beams and structural columns, creates the possibility for a double-height living space (“open to roof”) — a defining architectural element that brings more light, volume, and spatial quality into the interior.

🏡 This solution allows us to combine:
• structural strength and long spans
• architectural openness
• clean integration into a traditional Danish design

🏗️ At the same time, this project demonstrates a high level of factory integration.

The wall panels are delivered with:
• Fermacell internal boards already installed
• decentralized wall-mounted ventilation units with heat recovery in each room

This significantly reduces on-site work and ensures:
• precise installation of engineering systems
• faster construction progress
• consistent indoor climate performance from day one

🚛 Even with the challenges of island logistics, the assembly remains fast and predictable — exactly what prefab construction is designed to deliver.

Step by step, the house is transforming from structure into space.
More updates coming soon.

Prefab Assembly in Denmark: Project on Samsø Island Begins

This week, we started the assembly of a new single-family prefab house on Samsø Island, Denmark — a unique project that combines traditional Danish architecture with modern prefabrication technology.

The house, with 133 m² of usable area, is designed in a classic local style, carefully adapted to the island’s architectural character and natural surroundings.

🚛 The journey to the site was already part of the story — all prefabricated elements were transported by ferry to the island, highlighting both the logistical challenges and flexibility of prefab construction.

🔨 We began installation on Tuesday in the middle of the day — and within just a few hours, the entire first floor structure was already assembled. This is exactly where prefabrication shows its real advantage: speed, precision, and predictable results on site.

🏡 The project itself is especially interesting due to its “heritage-inspired” design, where traditional forms are combined with modern engineering solutions and high-performance building standards.

This is just the beginning.

Over the coming days, we’ll be sharing regular updates from the site — from structural assembly to finishing details — giving you a real look into how a prefab house comes together step by step.

Stay tuned.

🏙️ Next-Level Extensions: How Prefab Technology Unlocks Rooftop Expansion Potential

In dense urban areas where land is limited or unavailable, building upward becomes not just an alternative—but a strategic advantage. With prefabricated frame structures by Hansa Prefab, upward extensions can now be realized quickly, safely, and with minimal disruption to existing buildings.

🔝 Why go upward?

- Increase usable space without acquiring new land
- Boost property value by adding premium floors
- Ideal for renovations, hotels, hospitals, offices, and multi-family housing
- Meets demand in crowded areas without disturbing surroundings

🏗️ Why prefab is the ideal solution

1. Lightweight = Lower Load

Thanks to timber or hybrid lightweight frames, our structures add minimal stress to existing foundations and load-bearing walls—making them ideal even for mid-20th-century buildings with limited reserve capacity.

2. Rapid Installation

On-site assembly typically takes 3 to 10 days, depending on area. No need to block off streets, halt operations, or evacuate tenants.

Cement-Bonded Particleboard as an Alternative to OSB

For many years we have used cement-bonded particleboard (CBPB) in our panel systems as a high-performance alternative to traditional OSB-3. Boards with thickness from 8 to 20 mm are produced by hot-pressing Portland cement with coniferous wood chips and are widely used in wall panels, floor slabs, balconies, and flat roofs.

Compared to OSB, CBPB significantly improves both the structural and operational qualities of the building.

Structural Strength
CBPB is about twice as dense as OSB-3, increasing panel rigidity, load-bearing capacity, and acoustic performance. It also provides a strong base for mounting furniture, equipment, and interior elements.

Fire Safety
Thanks to its cement content, CBPB is non-combustible and protects the wooden frame from both sides. It slows flame spread, produces less toxic smoke, and helps meet strict fire safety requirements.

Eco-Friendly Material
CBPB contains no adhesives, resins, phenols, or formaldehyde compounds, making it a safe and environmentally responsible building material that supports healthy indoor air quality.

Smooth Surface
The boards have a naturally flat and smooth surface, reducing the need for additional leveling or plastering and saving finishing time.

Biological and Pest Resistance
During curing, calcium hydroxide forms inside the board, creating an alkaline environment that prevents mold and fungal growth. The material is also naturally resistant to rodents and insects.

Water Resistance and Durability
CBPB absorbs very little moisture and maintains its shape, strength, and stability even after wetting and drying cycles. Its service life exceeds 70 years, making it a reliable solution for long-term construction.

A Hybrid Structure for Modern Construction
Combining cement-bonded particleboard with timber framing brings together the energy efficiency of wood and the durability of cement-based materials. This hybrid approach delivers strength, sustainability, and long-term reliability — key qualities for modern buildings.

🐷🏠 We all grew up with the story of the Three Little Pigs.

Straw fails.
Wood struggles.
Brick wins.

That narrative has been embedded in our minds since childhood.
But in 2026, the story is no longer that simple.

Recently, Stefano Muscoloni from Rothoblaas shared a reflection inspired by reading the tale to his two-year-old. Each time the brick house is described as “the strongest,” one thought comes to mind:

Timber construction today is not what it used to be.
Modern engineered wood, structural calculation, certified connectors and properly designed joints change the equation completely.

With the right engineering:
• a timber house is not a compromise
• it is not temporary
• and it is certainly not “the weak option”

Strength today is not about the material alone — it is about the system.
So maybe if the wolf tried again in 2026, the wooden house would stand just as firmly.

For engineers, architects and contractors working in mass timber — keep redefining what structural performance means.

Solutions for Open Spaces: Integrating HEA Beams into Wooden Ceilings

Modern projects demand large, flexible interiors without columns that restrict planning. This is true for both residential and commercial buildings, where open space, clean aesthetics, and layout freedom are essential.
At Hansa Prefab, we combine the strength of steel with the natural look of wood by integrating HEA steel beams directly into prefabricated wooden floor panels.

What are HEA beams?
Wide-flange steel I-beams with high load capacity and relatively low weight. They efficiently transfer loads to walls or external supports, allowing long spans without internal columns.

How it works
HEA beams are embedded inside factory-made wooden panels and remain completely hidden. The ceiling keeps its natural timber appearance while gaining structural strength. Prefabrication ensures precision and fast on-site installation.

Key benefits
• Large open spaces without columns
• Slim floor profiles with high stiffness
• Faster construction thanks to factory assembly
• Ideal for panoramic glazing, open-plan homes, offices, restaurants
• More cost-effective than all-steel or concrete structures

Proven in practice
We’ve applied this solution in villas, open-space restaurants, and apartment buildings where design freedom and long spans were critical — delivering faster builds and impressive interiors.

Conclusion
Integrating HEA beams into wooden panels combines architectural freedom, structural reliability, and efficient construction.

Across Europe, cities face the challenge of revitalizing aging buildings — often with historical value and poor energy performance. Instead of demolition, modern prefabricated construction offers a smart and sustainable way to renovate and build upwards.
At Hansa Prefab, we unlock the hidden potential of existing buildings using factory-made elements that combine speed, quality, and minimal disruption.
Why prefab works for renovation
Prefabrication is not only for new builds. It’s an effective solution for:
• Upgrading façades with modern insulation and energy-efficient cladding
• Converting attics or unused lofts into comfortable living spaces
• Adding new lightweight floors as rooftop extensions
• Expanding buildings with annexes in dense urban areas
All components are precision-built off-site — including windows, insulation, and finishes — and assembled on-site in a short time.
Key benefits:
• Installation in days or weeks, not months
• Minimal noise, waste, and disruption for residents
• Predictable budgets with fixed production costs
• Lightweight timber structures ideal for rooftop projects
Rooftop extensions: building up, not out
In dense cities, rooftops offer enormous untapped potential. Prefabricated timber structures are light enough to be installed on existing buildings — even those several decades old — often requiring only minor structural reinforcement.
Cities such as Berlin, Vienna, and Paris already promote rooftop development to address housing shortages. Prefab makes this approach efficient, attractive, and fully compliant with local building regulations.
From concept to completion
We work closely with architects, developers, and city planners — from structural assessment and engineering support to regulatory compliance and sustainability targets.
Old buildings deserve a second life. Let’s transform underused spaces into modern, energy-efficient homes or offices — with prefab.
