Prefabricated structures in cross-laminated timber (CLT), from the first estimate to installation in Italy. We build in X-LAM, support designers and public bodies with technical choices, and partner with CLT producers and contractors on private projects and Italian public tenders.
Choose your profile: we show you what we can do for you and prepare your request in the form alongside.
New build, extension or added storey: the panels arrive on site already cut to size and the structure is assembled dry, on a schedule you can plan.
For CLT producers and contractors, Italian or foreign, who want to work on the Italian market: supply and installation, support with the technical bid, and inspection documents in Italian, ready for the site supervisor.
We work alongside the design team on the issues that decide the result: panel lay-up, joints and connections, the wall-to-foundation detail, envelope continuity.
The model tender specification is based on an analysis of technical documents published in Italian tenders for school buildings: a modular text to be completed for each project, updated to the 2026 Italian regulatory framework.
The X-LAM structure supplied and installed, as a shell or turnkey.
The right technical decisions before they turn into costs on site.
Long-term collaboration with contractors, designers and CLT producers, including those entering Italy.

An X-LAM panel is made of timber boards glued in layers crossed at 90°: it works as a load-bearing wall, as a floor and as bracing. The quality of the building, however, is decided in the connections and the envelope details.
Based on 14 technical documents attached to Italian public tenders for three school buildings. Every figure is linked to its source document and kept separate from methodological guidance.
Construction system, envelope, details, requirements and inspections, with a catalogue of public case studies.
Modular technical section for awarding works with CLT/X-LAM walls under Italian rules, to be coordinated with the design, bill of quantities and safety and coordination plan (PSC).
XLAM.com brochure with a fillable request form, in English, Italian and German.
Describe the project, even in a few lines, with any drawings you have.
We assess feasibility, critical points and missing documents.
Technical and financial proposal with clear inclusions and exclusions.
Checked panel schedules, CNC cutting, transport plan.
Assembly, joint inspections before closing up, as-built records.
It depends on panel thickness and number of layers, openings, connections, the finishes included and site logistics. Send us floor plans, or even just a project idea, and you will receive a free, no-obligation preliminary estimate.
Yes, if designed to NTC 2018, the Italian building code. The panels act as load-bearing and bracing elements, and seismic performance depends largely on the design of the connections: hold-downs, shear anchors, wall-to-wall and wall-to-floor joints.
Fire resistance is demonstrated for the complete system: panel, any board protection, lining walls, joints and penetrations. It must therefore be addressed in the design using an accepted verification method, not left to the insulation material alone.
With a wall-to-foundation detail that separates the panel from surfaces that can get wet, membranes turned up onto the panel, drainage, and protection of the panels during transport, storage and assembly.
Yes. It is a modular text, written for Italian public works, to be completed for each project, with fields to fill in, work specification sheets, register templates and bill of quantities items. On request we send it as an editable Word file.
A description of the project and its location are enough. If available, add plans, sections or the structural calculation report: the quote will be more accurate and quicker.
