Cublig
Multi-storey residential. Pre-certified. Factory-manufactured. Faster built.A prefab mass timber building system for residential developers across Europe.
The problem
The way we build multi-storey residential is not working.
A typical multi-storey apartment building takes 18–24 months to construct.Every project requires bespoke structural engineering from scratch. Construction costs keep rising. Labour is scarce.And concrete — still the dominant structural material across Europe — is responsible for 8% of global CO₂ emissions.Europe needs more homes, built faster, and at lower environmental cost. The constraint is not demand.It is how we build.
The solution
A pre-certified mass timber building system that any developer can use.
Cublig is developing a certified mass timber building system for 4–10 storey multi-family residential buildings — purpose-built for PBSA, social housing, BTR, and private residential development.The system is built around a standardized planning grid, a factory-manufactured element catalogue, and pre-engineered design tables that eliminate bespoke structural engineering on every project.
What this means for your project
For residential developers, this changes the numbers.
Construction time 30–40% shorter than concrete equivalents.Structural engineering reduced from weeks of calculation to a design review and sign-off.Real-time cost and embodied carbon indication as you design — no separate reports, no waiting.Automated generation of permit documentation, structural notes, and bill of materials.Simplified architectural design process built around a standardised planning grid and fixed element catalogue.Certified acoustic, fire, and structural performance — no project-by-project re-testing.Mass timber structure with negative embodied carbon — EU Taxonomy aligned, LEED/BREEAM compatible.Sequenced site delivery and crane-assembled erection.
Why now
Regulation and market conditions are converging.
Embodied carbon requirements are tightening across Europe. France's RE2020, Sweden's mandatory LCA threshold, Denmark's carbon cap phasing to 12 kg CO₂/m²/year by 2029, and the EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive are creating structural demand for faster, lower-carbon residential construction.At the same time, Europe faces a housing shortage requiring 650,000 additional homes per year above current output. Speed of delivery has never mattered more.Mass timber adoption in multi-storey residential has grown significantly across Scandinavia and the DACH region. The missing piece is a standardised, certified delivery platform.That is what Cublig is building.

The ask
Before formally launching the company, we are speaking with residential developers, BTR operators, student housing organisations, and social housing companies across Northern Europe.We want to understand two things: whether this system would solve problems you face, and whether you would consider it for a project in your pipeline.If you work in residential development and would like to share your perspective — or simply hear more — leave your email below.
