Real Estate Development
The strategic goal of NPB Group is to promote sustainable building technologies in Hungary, with a special focus on CLT (Cross-Laminated Timber) solutions. The use of this construction technology reflects the company's alignment with modern, developing building industry trends and high customer satisfaction, while also representing an environmentally conscious approach. CLT building material consists of sawn, dried, planed, and strength-graded planks, which are glued together in perpendicular layers. This gluing technique ensures the stability of the panels and minimizes warping. CLT combines all the advantageous properties of wood, making it an outstanding choice for the construction industry.
As a member of the NPB Group, Platinum Homes Kft. handles planning, licensing, construction and project management tasks related to real estate developments.
CLT
For the company, the application of this construction technology reflects the alignment with modern, developing trends in the construction industry and high customer satisfaction, and also represents an environmentally conscious approach. Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) pre-fabrication has revolutionized the construction industry and opens many possibilities for efficient, precise and sustainable construction. This innovative method has proven to be a breakthrough and is increasingly being used around the world in various construction projects. The CLT building material consists of sawn, dried, planed and strength-graded boards, which are glued together in a perpendicular direction. This bonding technology guarantees the stability of the panels and minimizes warping. CLT combines all the beneficial properties of wood, making it an outstanding choice for the construction industry

Costs
Compared to brick-built structures with the same footprint, the usable space increases by 10% thanks to the thinner wall structure. Pre- orderable materials and optimized construction time minimize the risk of material cost volatility. Due to precise manufacturing processes, less waste is generated, which results in significant savings in waste management costs. The interior cladding can also be omitted if there's no need for a painted white wall surface. The CLT's natural wood surface creates a warm, pleasant atmosphere, thus saving additional partitioning, drywall installation, and painting costs unless the client requests these.
Time
Modern technologies such as 3D computer-aided design and CNC manufacturing enable the production of materials with millimeter precision. As a result, the materials arrive at the construction site in exact dimensions, optimizing the workflow and allowing for the rapid procurement of pre- planned orders, such as doors and windows. These advantages can lead to a three-month lead time in the ordering and delivery of doors and windows in today's market environment. Additionally, the use of dry construction technology reduces the impact of weather conditions, allowing structures to be built even in freezing conditions. A single-story building of approximately 100 m2 can be completed, including the installation of doors, windows, and roofing, in a closed state within 1-1.5 months from the start of the construction.
The typical construction time for a turnkey project is 3-4 months.
Energy Efficiency and Sustainability:
The chosen technology ensures that even with an external wall thickness of 30-35 cm, high thermal insulation values are achieved in the building. Thanks to the natural mass of the structure, it also has significant heat storage capacity, and due to the insulating properties of wood, the building does not overheat or cool down excessively. As a result, the temperature control only needs to focus on the internal air temperature, without any additional energy to cool or heat the building structure - unlike traditional brick structures.
Simplicity
This technology is easy to learn for professionals with basic construction knowledge and experience. With appropriate and detailed plans, no additional specialised skills are required during construction.
Environmentally friendly building material
The timber used for CLT panels comes from responsible and sustainable forestry practices. This timber retains the CO2 sequestered for the rest of its life cycle, so the building plays a significant role in maintaining the global CO2 balance. No hazardous or environmentally harmful waste is generated during the dismantling of the structure.
