Insulated panel package (shell)
From EUR 430/m² excluding VAT

Comfort, simple rectangular layout, at least 150 m² gross area.

Exterior-complete house
Individual quotation

Panel package, facade, windows, external doors, roof covering, gutters and downpipes.

Shape and layout

The EUR 430/m² starting price requires a simple rectangular house. More complex designs are quoted separately.

Gross area

The starting price requires at least 150 m². Area is measured along the building’s exterior perimeter.

Panel specification

The starting price applies to Comfort. Premium and Lux are priced for the individual project specification.

Completion scope

Facade finish, windows, doors and roof covering are additions in the exterior-complete package.

The price is calculated using gross area measured along the exterior perimeter of the building. This is not the heated or usable internal area. We agree the area calculation and specification in the project quotation. Both packages exclude foundations and plinth, interior finishing including plasterboard installation, electrical installation, heating, water and drainage, and ventilation.

Estimate the price

What EUR 430/m² and gross area mean

The starting price covers an insulated, weather-protected timber frame panel package (shell) in the Comfort specification. The house must be rectangular with a simple layout and at least 150 m² of gross area.

Gross area is measured along the building's exterior perimeter. It differs from heated or usable internal area. We agree the area calculation and specification in the project quotation.

If all starting-price conditions are met, 150 m² × EUR 430/m² = EUR 64,500 excluding VAT for the panel package. This illustrates the calculation; it is not a quotation for a particular project or the price of a fully completed house.

Both the EUR 430 and EUR 500/m² starting prices excluding VAT apply only from 150 m² of gross area, with the specification and shape required for each price. Smaller houses and other shapes are priced individually. You cannot simply multiply the starting rate by a smaller area: for example, we do not offer panel production and assembly for a 100 m² house at EUR 43,000 excluding VAT using the EUR 430/m² rate.

From EUR 430/m² excluding VAT. The starting price covers an insulated, weather-protected timber frame panel package (shell), using the Comfort specification for a rectangular house with a simple layout and at least 150 m² of gross area.

From EUR 430/m² excluding VAT. The starting price covers an insulated, weather-protected timber frame panel package (shell), using the Comfort specification for a rectangular house with a simple layout and at least 150 m² of gross area. The price is calculated using gross area measured along the exterior perimeter of the building. This is not the heated or usable internal area. We agree the area calculation and specification in the project quotation. The exterior-complete house is quoted individually. The stated starting prices of EUR 430 and EUR 500/m² excluding VAT are achievable only for houses with at least 150 m² of gross area and the specification and shape required for the respective starting price. Houses below 150 m² require an individual quotation; the starting rate cannot simply be multiplied by a smaller house area. For example, we do not offer panel production and assembly for a 100 m² house at EUR 43,000 excluding VAT based on the EUR 430/m² starting price.

Budget separately for foundations, plinth, interior finishing, building services, project documentation, crane hire, scaffolding, fencing and worker accommodation where needed. Delivery and assembly are included.

Both packages exclude foundations and plinth, interior finishing including plasterboard installation, electrical installation, heating, water and drainage, and ventilation. Also budget for architectural design, approvals, necessary surveys, external utilities and commissioning. The price includes panel delivery, assembly and worker transport to the site across Europe, Scandinavia and the United Kingdom. The client provides accommodation for workers where needed and pays site costs: crane hire, scaffolding and site fencing. Delivery sequence, site access and assembly arrangements are agreed in the project quotation.

After project approval and contract signing, production can usually be scheduled within 1–3 months. Manufacturing starts from around 2 weeks, while an externally finished house is typically completed within 1–2 months depending on scope.

After project approval and contract signing, production can usually be scheduled within 1–3 months. Manufacturing requires at least around 2 weeks. On-site construction depends on the scope of work — an externally finished house is typically completed within 1–2 months. Overall, a house assembled on site is often ready in approximately 4–6 months.

ZTC does not prepare architectural drawings. The company works from a client or architect’s project and provides structural solutions, manufacturing and assembly.

ZTC does not build foundations. Foundations and plinth are excluded from both the panel package and exterior-complete house price. The designer selects a foundation solution using ground investigation and the building loads; the client arranges its construction.

Grey-stage finishing means plasterboard is installed on walls, but there is no paint or floor covering. It is an intermediate stage before full interior finishing.

Grey-stage finishing means plasterboard is installed on the walls, but paint and floor coverings are not yet applied. It is an intermediate finishing stage before full interior completion.

White-stage finishing means plasterboard is filled, sanded and painted, and floor coverings are installed. It is a higher completion level than grey-stage finishing.

White-stage finishing means plasterboard is filled, sanded and painted, and floor coverings are installed. It represents a higher level of completion than grey-stage finishing.

Exterior-complete and turnkey houses

The exterior-complete package adds the facade finish, windows with installation, exterior finishing and sills, and external doors with installation. It also includes the roof covering, gutters and downpipes. You can choose horizontal or vertical timber boards, decorative render, brick slips, metal sheets or another agreed facade material. We price this package for each project.

Neither the panel package nor the exterior-complete package includes foundations and plinth, interior finishing including plasterboard installation, electrical installation, heating, water and drainage, or ventilation.

An exterior-complete house needs interior work and building services before you can move in. If you want a turnkey timber frame house, budget for those works separately from either ZTC package.

Delivery, assembly and the client’s site costs

The price includes panel delivery, assembly and worker transport to sites across Europe, Scandinavia and the United Kingdom. You provide worker accommodation where needed and cover crane hire, scaffolding and site fencing. We agree the delivery sequence, site access and assembly arrangements in the quotation.
