WHO WE ARE
The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines art as a “skill acquired by experience, study, or observation” and we believe this perfectly encapsulates what we have achieved at Ergodomus.
Founded in 2007 by Franco Piva in the Italian Alps’ Trentino Region, Ergodomus has been at the forefront of timber engineering for nearly two decades. Since our opening, we completed over 300 buildings in 18 countries.

Our dedicated team of Italian engineers and drafters, blend Swiss precision with Italian artistry. This allows us to deliver beautiful and robust structures and leverages extensive experience and innovative problem-solving to create sustainable, high-quality timber projects.
At Ergodomus, we transform your vision into enduring timber masterpieces through our commitment to excellence and holistic approach.
WHAT WE DO
For us, art means creating something more than what you can see. And that is exactly what we do as Timber Engineers.
The visual aesthetic of a building lies in the hands of architects and designers, but behind all this,
there’s a whole hidden world of beauty. Behind the majestic facades is our work.
In our case, “something more” is Timber Engineering.
It is security and stability.
We create our art by focusing on meticulous and beautiful details and following the principles of DfMA, again focusing on what can’t be seen. We truly view our engineering process as an art form—FEM analyses are our canvases, and our calculators are our brushes. This approach allows us to deliver timber structures that are as beautiful as they are robust.
We strive to solve problems efficiently and beautifully, to bring your timber projects to life with precision, efficiency, and exceptional quality through our Services.
We actively collaborate with architects, manufacturers, designers, engineers, builders, and general contractors, engaging in creative brainstorming to discover the best solutions from the earliest stages of a project.
Our dedication to the DfMA (Design for Manufacture and Assembly) approach allows us to focus intently on every step of the project. From the initial structural concepts to the final assembly of the building, we immerse ourselves in each detail to ensure excellence.
