But ever wondered how a wooden house manufacturer in India builds these homes?
Of course, it involves a considerable thought process and effort.
So, whether you want to build a wooden house in Mumbai, construct wooden houses in Goa, or are merely curious about the process, here are the steps involved in building one.
Prepare to Embrace the Wooden Revolution - Building a Wooden Home in 8 Easy Steps
From your vision to final checks, building a wooden home often involves these eight steps.
1. Your Dream – Your Vision
Everything begins with a dream - dream for a sustainable wooden home solution. It then turns into thought and further, a vision.
So, before you begin with the process, define your needs. Do you need a sleek and aesthetically pleasing pinewood home or a rustic cabin?
Determine the number of rooms you want with a rough layout, the customizations you want, the overall area, and other specific factors.
Consider factors like budget, scaling requirements, and lifestyle.
Next, plan resources. The first thing you want to do is connected with a wooden house manufacturer in India who will provide every resource you need, connect with architects, prepare designs, ensure compliance, seek permissions, obtain approvals, etc.
Thus, you will need a one stop solution for all your needs, concerns and queries.

2. Make Space for Your Wooden Home
Remove rocks and impediments that may prove to be roadblocks.
The next step is leveling and grading. Ensure you level the land to an evenly built home, proper drainage, and a robust foundation.
3. Lay the Foundation
Every home requires a solid base. Wooden homes aren’t an exception.
Remember, the foundation should be solid enough.
Further, depending on the soil strata foundation, the developer will decide whether to go for an RCC plinth/ PCC plinth or steel stilt.
While choosing the foundation, you must also select the foundation type.
The most common types include crawl space, slab, or full basement foundations, depending on the soil’s stability, the house’s size, and your budget.
Once you build the foundation, you must lay the substructure.
To do it, experienced manufacturers use solid pinewood with lego form with cross-knotching that works as a structural support member.
4. Frame the Structure
This is the stage where your house begins shaping up.
The first step involves floor, wall, and roof framing. It resembles building the skeleton. Usually, experts use wooden beams to frame each part of the home.
As mentioned earlier, at Vrisa, we use a patented Glulam technology and build the house in Lego form with a cross-knotching method at every corner that acts as a structural member.
Further, prepare the roofing skeleton.
During this stage, you will get to see the first cut of your house!
5. Install Doors and Windows
Next, install the protective elements of your home.
Fill the frame openings with windows and exterior doors.
6. Perform Insulation, Plumbing, and Electrical Work
Call in the electricians and plumbers and put them to work.
Have them install wires, & switches;
While using solid pinewood, you cannot conceal electrical pipes in it. Thus, you can use the same pinewood casing with an identical polish color that can camouflage.
Next, install heating, ventilation, and AC systems (HVAC).
7. Work on the Interiors
Beautify your home from the interiors by covering and smoothing out the walls and ceilings, choosing the right flooring (tile, carpet, or hardwood) based on your budget and preferences, painting / polishing the walls, and installing cabinets and fixtures across various rooms.
Technically manufacturers must apply Wood polish with properties like termite-resistance, UV-resistance, etc.
These elements will make the house or wooden structure a safe home!
8. Conduct Final Tests and Checks
Ensure your manufacturer conducts final inspections through local authorities and ensure everything is up to the code. Create a checklist and ensure you tick everything. It must also cover inspecting and fixing minor flaws like a paint drip or a noisy hinge.
Well, now just move in and live your dream of living in a wooden home, every day!
