the home as a product

At Facit, we see the home differently—not as a one-off build, but as a complete, well-developed system. Over 15 years, we've evolved our Facit Chassis™ and integrated a suite of Core Products—windows, roofing, foundations, services, and more—into a reliable, repeatable solution for designing and delivering high-performance homes.

Beyond MODULAR.

Facit advances prefab and modular housing by integrating advanced digital design and on-site manufacturing to deliver bespoke, high-performance homes. Central to this innovation is the Facit Chassis™, a meticulously engineered timber superstructure that serves as the foundational framework of each home. Much like a car's chassis, it is designed to seamlessly integrate all other components, ensuring a cohesive and robust structure

50% Faster Delivery vs. Traditional Custom Homebuilding

Our streamlined approach cuts overall project time in half by eliminating the inefficiencies and delays of traditional builds. With a faster, more efficient process, you can move into your new home sooner — without ever compromising on quality.

1. Data-Driven Design

2. Single Point of Contact

3. Speed saves costs, beats inflation

Facit Chassis™

At the core of Facit Home is the Facit Chassis™—a highly agile multiproduct system that combines the superstructure with secondary carpentry, staircases, service channels, and more. By consolidating these elements into a single digital funnel, we achieve manufacturing efficiencies free from the usual grid constraints of modular construction.

The Facit Chassis™ is crafted from sustainably sourced, FSC-certified plywood, embodying our commitment to environmental responsibility. This timber structure not only provides exceptional strength but also acts as a carbon sink, reducing the overall carbon footprint of the building.

The Facit Chassis™ itself is constructed from an FSC-certified engineered spruce sheet, bonded with a bio-based glue for sustainability. This material is dimensionally stable, offering superior strength compared to traditional timber frames and has been rigorously structurally tested. Additionally, our precision manufacturing process produces only A-grade wood waste, which is fully recyclable into timber products such as paper, further reducing environmental impact.

Thermal Envelope exceeds passive house standards

Each Facit Home has a building envelope designed to conserve heat, reducing the amount of energy that needs to be generated to keep it warm. It has a high airtightness rating of up to 1.5 air changes per hour (lower is better). Standard builds are more like 5-10 which means losing precious heat.

 

Our passive approach to energy efficiency also depends on the use of solar gain to naturally heat the home in the winter. And solar shading and stack ventilation help combat overheating in the summer.

Superior strength compared to traditional timber frame

The Facit Chassis™ is a precision-engineered structural system, constructed from FSC-certified engineered spruce sheet and bonded with a bio-based glue for enhanced sustainability. Designed for dimensional stability and superior strength, it outperforms traditional timber frames and has undergone rigorous structural testing to BSI standards. This ensures reliability, durability, and consistent performance across every home we build.

Our chassis adapts to any form

Our flexible building system means you're never confined to a standard house type. We design each home to suit its unique plot and shape—no catalogue models, just architecture tailored entirely to you

Core Products

In addition to the Facit Chassis™, we integrate a suite of Core Products that encompass essential building systems and specifications, including foundations, roofing, windows, internal doors, and heating systems. These components are carefully selected for their performance, sustainability, and cost-efficiency. Our holistic approach ensures that each element integrates seamlessly, resulting in a home that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

Cladding variety

The Facit Chassis™ is designed to accommodate a wide range of cladding systems, allowing for full flexibility in material selection and aesthetic expression tailored to your personal preference.

 

Our Core Products integrate seamlessly with various finishes, from timber and metal to specialist façade systems, ensuring a precise, high-performance installation tailored to each project.

Supply Chain Partnership

Facit has established enduring relationships with trusted material, product, and advanced manufacturing suppliers, possessing a profound understanding of their specifications, capabilities, and logistics.
