I have a customer who is interested in building a Timber Frame in Italy. He is interested in building in the Campagna region Southern Italy. If anyone has any advice on any current blocks with planning permission for this type of build in this area please let me know.

Hi Terry,
Sorry to hear you haven't had any replies to this yet, have shared on twitter to see if we can get some response.
Curiously I have been looking at Italy and France plus timber frame appeals a lot. What I do know from my research in Emilia Romagna is that like the French mayors the decisions are taken at local level first, in Italy this is the local commune. New building is a major issue in their green built closely followed by appearance and tradition. However, it doesn't stop with the local commune. In France new builds over 100 sq metres must have a French architect in tow. If it were me I would locate someone on the ground there who knows the ropes, bureaucracy reigns.

It may be worth contacting timber frame manufacturers, not just UK, to see if they have supplied in Italy. I know Potton haven't. Huff Haus will have I am sure.

This would make for a very interesting group all on its own as there isn't much out there. Thoughts?
Hi there, So far don't have any idea. for the maitime, you may Try HERE!
Hi Terry
HAAS has supplied timber frame houses to Italy - want any contact?

Hi Terry,

Why not ask him to use MgO faced SIP panels to build the house. It is green and very cost-effective. We supply them along with facing bricks from China. If you are interested, please contact me. Thanks. Sam Shan

MgO boards bonded with vinyl membranes

Dear All, Our factory makes MgO board based lamination products. We can glue membranes or acrylic sheets to MgO boards to make them into high quality decorative boards. They are better than HDF and MDF laminations as MgO boards are fire resistent and work well in water. If you are interested, please feel free to contact me. Best regards, Sam See More
