A truly solid home doesn’t depend on the time of year. Instead, it depends on how it’s made and what it’s made of. Our houses are constructed from laminated spruce (BSH), a material known for its strength and dimensional stability. That means whether it’s summer or winter, your home will be just as structurally sound. So when is winter actually the better option?
Believe it or not, winter often brings conditions that make construction more efficient – especially when working with wood. The air is drier, the site cleaner, and assembly faster. A house built in winter can be move-in ready by spring.
4 advantages of building in winter
A cleaner, less muddy site: Dry and frozen ground means less mud, which is especially important when working with exposed wooden elements. The cleaner the site, the better the final finish.
Lower humidity, no heavy rainfall: Less rain and lower humidity levels mean the wood stays dry. That helps prevent future warping or cracking – essential for long-term durability.
Better structural stability: Wooden elements settle more evenly and consistently in lower temperatures. This reduces movement later and increases the long-term structural performance of the house.
Move in by summer: Build in winter, and your home is ready for interior work and landscaping as soon as the warmer months arrive. No waiting around – just smooth progress.
Why we build all year at KAGER
High-performance materials: We use laminated spruce BSH in every load-bearing structure. This wood doesn’t warp, crack, or absorb moisture easily, which guarantees strength and stability regardless of outside conditions.
Precision manufacturing in a controlled environment: All elements are pre-fabricated in our production facility. This allows us to machine, treat and protect every piece of wood in perfect conditions – away from wind, rain or temperature swings.
Fast on-site assembly: Thanks to pre-made components, building on-site usually takes just a few days. This reduces weather-related risks and allows precise scheduling year-round.
Dry construction process: Unlike traditional methods that involve wet processes like concrete, our wooden homes are built dry – which means there’s almost no impact from cold or damp weather. Quality stays high and timelines stay on track.
With the right system, winter isn’t a limitation – it’s an opportunity. Thanks to our technology, expert team and fine-tuned process, we’re able to build homes of the highest quality throughout the year. So if you’re thinking of building a home, don’t wait for the “right” season. With KAGER, any time is the right time.
