Project case study · Savoy, France
Freterive
A market-adapted timber envelope combining wood fibre insulation, plaster and Thermowood.
A completed 120 m² residence in Savoy, designed to connect with the surrounding landscape through a mixed timber-and-plaster façade.
Project overview
A project-specific timber solution shaped around the architecture.
Freterive uses a clear, market-specific wall strategy: timber framing, wood-fibre insulation and a façade divided between decorative plaster and Thermowood cladding. The result demonstrates how one prefabricated system can support different external finishes.
A coordinated timber-frame build-up gives the project a consistent structural and insulation zone while allowing the architectural envelope to change material without changing the underlying production discipline.
Project scope
Structural responsibility, regulatory approval and final performance remain with the appointed project team and approved project documentation.

Where industrial timber manufacturing creates project value.
The exact contractual scope varies by project. These areas explain the manufacturing logic demonstrated by this case study.
Timber wall prefabrication
Project-specific wall elements prepared for the approved geometry.
Wood-fibre insulation strategy
Insulation integrated within a clearly defined wall build-up.
Mixed façade coordination
Interfaces prepared for both decorative plaster and Thermowood panelling.
International delivery
Manufacturing documentation coordinated for a project in the French Alps region.
Connected workflow
From approved information to an assembly-ready package.
ERGIO’s role is production engineering and manufacturing. Structural design, calculations and local approvals remain with the project-appointed team.
Approved project input
Architectural information, structural design and project requirements are received from the professional partner.
Production coordination
Geometry, interfaces, assemblies and machining operations are converted into controlled factory information.
Manufacture & checking
Components are produced, identified and checked according to the agreed scope and released revision.
Packing & site handover
Elements are organised for transport and the planned assembly sequence, subject to the project contract.
