We Help You To Build Your Dream Home

Our proffesional and experienced team will create the home of your dreams.

In-fill walls

Infill panel walls are a form of cladding built between the structural members of a building. The structural frame provides support for the cladding system, and the cladding provides separation of the internal and external environments. Infill walls are different to other forms of cladding panel in that they are fixed between framing members, rather than being attached to the outside of the frame.

Infill panel walls are not considered to be load bearing, although they are required to resist wind loads applied to the facade, as well as supporting their own weight.

Company quality certificates

We have worked with renowned names. From hotels, offices and personal homes, we have worked with clients from all backgrounds.

The SINTEF Certificate confirming that Gokstad Hus produces high-quality buildings that meet Norwegian housing construction standards.

Sentralt Godkjent – quality scheme for companies in the construction industry.

ISO 9001: 2015 Control System Certificate attesting the development and implementation of quality processes in practice.

Startbank and Central Approval Certificates demonstrating the company’s competitiveness in both the Latvian and Norwegian markets.

What we do

Wooden frames are used for interior walls in concrete and steel structures as partitions. They provide flexibility of design, including floor layout, fire safety, sound insulation, and renovation. Wood infill partitions are non-structural, lightweight, and are suitable for a range of interior finishes. They can also be designed to meet the fire and sound requirements for apartment partition walls. Wooden frame partitions are approved up to eighteen stories.

The main benefits of exterior wood infill walls

Outstanding thermal properties and energy conservation

Reduced wall thickness maximises usable living space by a typical 2 per cent

Shorter on-site construction time through pre-fabrication

Reduced foundation load

Improved seismic performance

the Way to your new house

The journey to the new house begins with an appointment, suitably, in person or remotely.

During the meeting, we consider your idea by providing individual access to each customer.

Appointment You'll get a sketch, the first cost estimate.

When we have matched your wishes with the opportunities we offer, we sign the agreement.

Preparation of building permit documents. In this context, you have to decide what the house should look like outside.

Benefits of wooden frame houses

Low construction weight (frame houses are 5-6 times lighter than brick houses).

Relatively short construction time.

Readily available materials.

No need for large construction equipment.

Good value for money.

Easier to modernize.

Internal communications (water, sewerage, heating) hidden inside walls.

Eco-friendly, renewable materials.

The ability to express architectural preferences (to construct a house of individual shape and internal planning) more easily.

Gokstad Hus experience

For more than 15 years, our houses have been cheering customers by striking with high-quality, individual projects. Our houses are ecological place of life, as built from sustainable material – wood.

More than 100 successful projects in Latvia and Scandinavia.

Our houses are manufactured in our factory, thus protecting the structures from negative impacts of the external environment in the manufacturing and construction process.

We offer customers to visit our production or building sites to familiarise themselves with the process of producing houses.

We know that building a house is one of life's greatest projects and that you may have never built a house before. So we're doing everything we can to drive you up to your new home

Our Timber Frame houses have been tested in harsh conditions for years

Timber Frame Home production process, quality and deadline are not affected by bad weather – wind, cold or rain, so the production of such houses does not stop even during the cold season. Weather conditions have little influence on assembly of such house – a relatively short work time on the construction site makes it easier to adapt to the weather. The heavily machined structural timber used with the materials for thermal insulation creates a system for building sustainable wall, floor and ceiling structures. This balance means a perfect combination of the most important aspects of the modern construction industry that is focused on ecology and energy saving in all circumstances.

We recommend wood-frame houses

Advantages of Timber Frame Home Design:

Speed of construction - timber frame homes do tend to go up quicker, but not by much, buy the time you take into account the lead times for getting frames ordered there’s probably a much smaller difference than people would have you believe.

The timber is a renewable raw material that Gokstad Hus considers to be the most suitable construction material when designing environmentally suited houses.

Timber provides a stable and dense wall with good insulation.

When you build a wooden frame house, you get a house with excellent energy value.

Our goal is to create homes with a good indoor climate, without toxins and unnecessary environmental impacts.

Our environmentally friendly houses are useful not only for the world but also for you

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a timber frame?

The term ’’Timber frame' typically describes a system of panelised structural walls and floors constructed from small section timber studs, clad with board products, in which the timber frame transmits vertical and horizontal loads to the foundations. It is generally not used to refer to timber post and beam structures or to timber engineered structural frames.

Are timber frame homes cheaper or more expensive to build?

In terms of materials used, the cost of timber is lower, but not by much. Also, whether timber or brick are used the rest of the build costs will be the same. Foundations, plumbing, sewers, access roads and the like will cost just as much regardless of the frame. The main saving with timber frames is in the construction itself.

Can a timber frame house be insulated?

Timber frame construction is an efficient and flexible build method. Compared to traditional masonry, it can accommodate more timber frame insulation in between the wooden studs, as in a cavity.

How long will a timber frame home last?

Wood framing can last 50 to several hundred years, depending on care and construction quality. Here are the factors and issues to consider when deciding how long a wood frame house will last:

Quality of Construction
Frequency of Repair and Maintenance
Local Climate

Why build a timber frame home?

Wood is the only truly renewable construction material on the planet. But wood and timber frame construction, in particular, is far more than a renewable resource or “nice” building method.
