Dear Visitatore,
In January, we dove deep into the importance of details—the “small things” that can make or break a timber project. This month, we’re zooming out to tackle one of the biggest challenges in construction today: the housing crisis.
Every year, the need for safe, affordable housing grows more urgent, and it’s clear that traditional building methods alone can’t keep up. |
|
|
That’s why we’re excited to introduce a brand-new concept we developed in-house: VTMB, short for Volumetric Timber Modular Buildings. 🌲🏗️
We believe this fresh approach—fusing off-site production, timber’s natural advantages 🌳, and modular design—has the potential to deliver homes faster and more efficiently than ever. But is it truly a game-changer for the global housing shortage, or just another buzzword? 🤔 We’ve tackled these questions (and more!) in our new article—and we need your feedback! 🗣️ Please click the image below to read the full piece, then join the discussion on LinkedIn.
Do you think modular timber can revolutionize the construction industry, or is it a niche solution?
I'm excited to give a dedicated speech at the Mass Timber Conference in Portland 📅, focusing on a tall timber building we're currently engineering. I’d be happy to connect 🤝 with anyone interested in discussing VTMB and other off-site solutions. Let’s tackle the urgent housing crisis together! 🌍 |

VTMB: Volumetric Timber Modular Buildings |
 |
We coined “VTMB” right here at Ergodomus, blending our 15+ years of timber engineering experience with the pressing need for fast, high-quality building solutions.
But technology alone isn’t enough—true success depends on close collaboration among architects, engineers, fabricators, and assembly teams.
By taking a holistic approach that coordinates design, engineering, production, and on-site assembly from day one, we can ensure each module meets the highest standards of performance, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness. |

Modular buildings in Trondheim! |
At HeimdalsPorten, we took modular construction a step further—combining timber modules and concrete cores to create 4 high-quality hybrid buildings.
By harnessing the best properties of both materials, this innovative approach resulted in a striking, highly efficient structure. Discover how clever hybridization can redefine modular design. |

Modular buildings in Vestby! |
The Vestbyen project demonstrates how modular timber construction, using a smart combination of light-frame modules and CLT shear walls, can deliver affordable, attractive housing quickly without sacrificing quality.
Through meticulous engineering and a streamlined modular approach, we turned complex design requirements into a successful, community-driven project. |

Save the date: March 25–27, 2025!
I will attend the International Mass Timber Conference in Portland. This year, I'll be speaking about one of our most exciting projects: an 11-storey building entirely made from Mass Timber!
I look forward to meeting you there! |
