Fast. Eco-friendly. High quality.We build the future


European quality and support for joint reconstruction toward a better future.
- Energy-efficient & sustainable timber frame construction
- High quality even in crisis areas thanks to prefabrication.
- Expandable – for example, as a fully finished core element with extendable sleeping and auxiliary rooms, in order to retain more performance and value creation in Ukraine.
- Scalable – the scope of services can be adapted at any time to available resources and local value creation in Ukraine.
Our expertisefor projects in Ukraine
With over 100 years of experience in the prefab construction industry, we focus on modern, energy-efficient, and resilient building methods.

- Fast construction:
Ready for occupancy in record time - Energy efficiency & sustainability:
Minimal heating costs, optimal insulation - Flexibility & expandability:
Adaptable to changing needs - Affordability:
High-quality housing at fair prices - State-of-the-art standards:
Future-proof with innovative technologies - Better insulation values for more living space:
Maximum space usage without compromising quality
Our vision – reconstruction with a future
The vision of HARTL HAUS is based on modular construction, inspired by the “Half a Good House” concept developed by architect Alejandro Aravena. Initially, a compact, livable unit is built, which can be flexibly expanded later. This allows families to quickly move into a safe home that grows with their needs.
- As immediate aid:
Modular prefabricated houses offer stable, energy-efficient, and expandable solutions for reconstruction. In cooperation with local partners, these can be implemented quickly. - For a long-term perspective:
Well-designed concepts enable fast and cost-effective housing while providing long-term planning security. Thanks to pre-prepared structures, a house can be easily expanded once living conditions improve. - Through cooperation:
With the combined strength of the European Prefabricated House Association, entire neighborhoods can be built quickly. The head start in reconstruction offers enormous advantages for the local population, businesses, and new settlements.
„Every housing unit we create contributes to confidence, safety, and a renewed perspective.“
Who is the European Prefabricated Building Association?
The European Federation of Prefabricated Building Manufacturers (EFV) brings together leading prefab home manufacturers from across Europe with the goal of creating fast, safe, and sustainable housing.
Members include national associations from: Bulgaria, Germany, UK, Ireland, Italy, Austria, Sweden, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Switzerland, and Hungary.
- 450 companies from 11 European countries
- 28,000 timber prefab buildings annually
- € 8 billion in annual revenue
- 40,000 employees across Europe
- Wide range of projects:
Single-family homes, multi-storey housing, extensions, renovations & urban infill
How Can the Prefabricated Building Association Help?

Prefabricated houses offer an efficient way to quickly create new living space. They are ready for occupancy within just a few weeks, provide a high level of living comfort, and can be flexibly expanded. Thanks to modern construction methods, they meet high energy efficiency standards and help reduce longterm operating costs.
The EFV contributes its extensive experience and expertise to deliver innovative housing solutions. With the Herzogenburg Project, we demonstrate that modular construction can be a flexible, fast, and sustainable response to the housing crisis in Ukraine.
In addition to supplying prefabricated homes, we actively support the planning and implementation of reconstruction efforts. By working closely with local authorities, architects, and construction companies, we help develop efficient building plans tailored to regional conditions.
With flexible and future-proof prefabricated housing, we not only provide immediate support and long-term perspectives, but also contribute to economic stability and the rebuilding of Ukraine.
Fast. Simple. Together we build the future.
This modular prefab home was specifically developed for fast and sustainable reconstruction. It provides safe, energy-efficient living that adapts to the residents‘
individual needs.
Features:
- Modular: Starts as a compact, fully functional unit
- Expandable: Pre-built structures for future additions
- Quick to build: Ready within days – ideal for rapid reconstruction
- Safe & stable: High-quality construction ensures durability and protection
- Energy-efficient & sustainable: Low heating costs thanks to modern insulation and eco-materials
The image shows the already livable part of the home, while grey-marked sections represent possible future expansions. This concept allows families to move in quickly and expand their home step-by-step as circumstances allow.
A flexible housing solution for Ukraine
This construction method delivers immediate relief - with a long-term perspective. It allows people in Ukraine to move into a safe home right away, and expand it as needed in the future.
A house that grows with the people – for a strong future!
