Timber Homes

Ecofriendly Timber Houses – from Nature, for Nature

Sustainability and environment protection is a main factor in todays building industry.

We plan, build and maintain cozy and long lasting timber homes with “green” building strategies and eco friendly material. As one of the few renewable materials in the construction industry, timber adds a very special character to your house and the atmosphere therein.

Prefabricated in our workshop in Paarden Eiland, we deliver wall and roof panels to your plot – ready to be installed in just a couple of days. Quick, easy and clean.

Structural Woodwork – with Hands, Heads and Heart

Timber structures are perfectly practical for alterations, roof structures or loft conversions, adding more space to your home.

We also offer balconies, carports, porch roofs and all kinds of custom made structures.

Cladding and Flooring – everything covered

With properly chosen material and competent installation timber facades and floors are as long lasting as any other cladding material and give a warm and welcoming touch to the exterior and interior of your house.

Cabinetry and Furniture

Modern cabinets or rustic furniture, a simple shelf or a fancy room feature. We design and create our own products or develop a custom made item for you.

Architecture

Planning and organizing is probably the most important part of a building project. From the first sketch over plan submission and cost estimation to site management and supervision, we accompany you through the toughest phase of your project.

Workshops

Education and training in the building industry is as important as in any other profession. We are currently working on a skills development program for socially deprived teenagers who are interested in becoming artisans in carpentry or just want to catch a glimpse of what we do.

Short term woodwork courses for those who always wanted to build their own table or learn how to build a wendy house we will soon offer on a regular basis.

About Us

timberliving (Pty) Ltd. was founded in Cape Town as a planning and building company in February 2014. Starting with small projects such as timber flooring and decking, today with a team of currently 13 colleagues we are doing all kinds of architecture and woodwork, with a focus on exposed wooden roof structures, pre-manufactured timber houses and extensions to existing buildings.

After his 3-year apprenticeship as a carpenter in Germany, Mirko Tegeder graduated in architecture at the HafenCity University Hamburg. After three years of work experience in both, planning and building, he settled down in Cape Town to offer exactly this one-stop service to clients in South Africa.

Our young team includes a mix of experienced carpenters, skilled workers and motivated learners. All of us share a passion for woodwork and timber. We are looking forward to implement this enthusiasm in your projects.

Contemporary timber homes, commercial buildings, schools or leisure buildings of any size can be manufactured as timber frame houses, or innovative post & beam constructions. State of the art CADesign and computerised milling combined with the careful selection of the very best materials means that even the most demanding building can be manufactured precisely to design for contracted construction.

So whether you are considering a simple log cabin a holiday home, an annexe, house or a commercial or school building can provide the perfect solution. All buildings that we supply are designed and built to comply fully with any relevant South African Building Regulation. You can be confident that with a timber building you will also be choosing to make a real ‘eco’ building.
