Our Story

Wood Solutions is the house-building brand of Northcon Industries. What began in 2003 as a small sawmill in Latvia has grown over two decades into a European manufacturer of prefabricated timber-frame and CLT buildings, with more than 300 houses delivered across Europe and Scandinavia.

During the financial crisis, demand for our products collapsed. A timber customer asked whether we could build him a chalet in Switzerland made entirely of larch — walls, windows, terraces, railings, floors, doors and trims. We said yes. That is how our house business started: our first house, a mountain chalet, was built in Switzerland, produced, assembled and finished turn-key. Strong recommendations brought many repeat orders from the French market.
