Introducing MOKUWELL HOUSE

MOKUWELL HOUSE stands out in the housing market as a sustainable choice made from domestic timber sourced from Southern Kyushu. Its construction method utilizes prefabricated materials from in-house factories, aligning with superior earthquake resistance and energy efficiency standards. The homes are designed to adapt to local climate conditions while providing exceptional durability against natural disasters. By integrating quality with affordability, MOKUWELL HOUSE aims to make secure and environmentally-friendly housing accessible to all.

How MOKUWELL HOUSE Reduces Costs

MOKUWELL HOUSE’s innovative approach to housing focuses on minimizing middle costs and manual labor:

• - Cost Reduction: By sourcing materials and managing the entire construction process internally, MOKUWELL HOUSE avoids traditional middle costs associated with housing development.
• - Labor Efficiency: Much of the construction process is automated in their dedicated factory, which allows for a reduced workforce on-site, tackling labor shortages in the construction industry.

Addressing Social Challenges

The construction sector faces significant labor shortages due to Japan’s aging population and declining workforce. MOKUWELL emphasizes prefabrication, facilitating skill transfer and addressing labor issues through increased efficiency. In addition, the use of domestic timber significantly contributes to carbon reduction during the building process and supports the sustainability of Japan’s forests.

MOKUWELL HOUSE not only helps meet housing needs but also plays a vital role in promoting the proper management of Japanese forests, ensuring a sustainable and eco-friendly building approach.
