HebHomes

HebHomes is a Scottish manufacturer specializing in architect-designed timber kit homes for rural locations across Scotland, the UK, and Ireland. Partnering with Dualchas Architects, the company focuses on creating homes that are calm, bright, and rooted in the landscape, aiming to eliminate the budget shocks and chaos often associated with self-build projects. HebHomes offers over 40 proven designs across five adaptable ranges—Airigh, Accessible, Longhouse, Steading, and Whitehouse—each inspired by traditional Hebridean and Scottish architectural forms. These homes are suitable for various needs, including first homes, downsizers, family residences, or holiday lets. The construction method centers on supplying pre-manufactured timber kits, available in both Closed Panel System (CPS) and Structural Insulated Panels (SIP). While customers can choose a supply-and-erect option where the kit is typically erected within 1-2 weeks, HebHomes also provides partial or full turnkey services through affiliated contractors. Partial turnkey involves completing the house to a weather-tight external shell, including site clearance, foundations, services, and external cladding, while full turnkey takes the project from groundworks to finishes. The company emphasizes price clarity, using comprehensive tools to estimate total build costs rather than misleading square meter rates, and provides clear timelines and expert support throughout the process. HebHomes prides itself on delivering high-quality, architecturally strong designs featuring efficient layouts and robust details suitable for challenging weather conditions. They offer flexibility, allowing clients to adapt existing designs to their specific plot, views, access, and planning context, and also facilitate bespoke designs through Dualchas Architects. The company supports its clients with a members' hub providing plans, guides, and checklists, and offers aftercare and component warranties. Notably, their CPS kits are BOPAS certified, underlining their commitment to quality and compliance. HebHomes also assists clients in finding suitable land plots and connecting them with self-build finance providers.

Masa Building

Masa Building is a Croatian-based manufacturer specializing in low-energy prefabricated homes and buildings. The company, officially known as Masa Building 2 d.o.o., was founded on August 19, 2019, in Zagreb and subsequently established operations in Varaždin. They are involved in the comprehensive design, construction, and assembly of a diverse range of prefabricated structures, including single-storey homes, houses with attics, two-storey residences, and multi-storey buildings. In addition to residential projects, Masa Building also constructs prefabricated commercial, hospitality, and tourist facilities. The core of Masa Building's construction method is a factory-controlled, panelized timber frame system. Wall elements are produced in their factory, starting with a wooden frame structure. The cavities within these frames are filled with mineral wool insulation, and both sides are covered with load-bearing gypsum fiber boards, specifically "Fermacell" panels. External walls are further enhanced with polystyrene or other chosen thermal insulation. High-performance PVC joinery, featuring excellent thermal and sound insulation, is installed into the external wall elements during the manufacturing process. Ceiling panels and roof trusses are also pre-fabricated from wooden beams, incorporating thermal insulation and fire-resistant plasterboard where appropriate. The wooden beams utilized are certified by the Austrian manufacturer Hasslacher Norica Timber, underscoring a commitment to quality materials. Masa Building places a strong emphasis on using modern, natural, and environmentally friendly materials. Their homes are designed for high energy efficiency, boasting up to 60% energy savings for heating compared to conventionally insulated buildings. Key advantages highlighted include fast construction – from idea to moving in within a few weeks – and resilience against earthquakes and fire. The company offers a complete, worry-free service, guiding clients through every step from design to final assembly, eliminating the need for clients to coordinate multiple contractors. Customers have significant flexibility: they can choose from Masa Building's existing project portfolio, specify the level of construction and furnishing, or bring their own custom architectural plans. On-site assembly of the prefabricated elements typically takes 10 to 15 days, with the "high roh bau" (shell construction) completed within 15-30 days. While based in Croatia, Masa Building also participates in events like the Modul Exhibition 01 fair in Novi Sad, indicating their service reach extends to Serbia.
