For individuals seeking to craft their ideal home from scratch, the choice of a building company is a pivotal decision that determines the quality and personalisation of the end result. Among the myriad of options available, Dan-Wood emerged many years ago as a leader in the sector, consistently delivering high-quality, energy-efficient, custom-built homes. The company, with its wealth of experience and unparalleled service, offers the kind of commitment that results in the creation of dream homes.

Background

Founded in 1977 in Denmark, Scandinavia, Dan-Wood has made its mark in the modular and flat pack house-building industry with a commitment to quality, functionality, and sustainability. Now headquartered at Bielsk Polanski in Poland, the company has steadily expanded its operations across Europe, delivering over 10,000 homes in more than 16 countries and over 2,000 new homes every year now ! Dan-Wood takes pride in delivering top-notch energy-efficient homes that fit a wide range of budgets and preferences.

Cherish Homes offers Dan-Wood architect house design services as a core part of our overall self-build house delivery service.

Philosophy

What sets Dan-Wood apart is its philosophy to place customers at the heart of every project. This ethos is reflected in the company's flexible approach to house building, providing clients with the ability to fully customize their future homes. From the design and layout to the selection of materials and finishes, each Dan-Wood house is a reflection of the homeowners' personal tastes and lifestyle needs.

Sustainability and Energy Efficiency

One of the cornerstone principles of Dan-Wood is its dedication to sustainability and energy efficiency. Each Dan-Wood home is designed with energy-saving features such as closed panel construction, flat-pack sealed panels delivered to site, high-quality insulation, triple-glazed windows, and efficient heating systems.

This commitment to sustainable practices, including using timber-frame closed panel construction, not only minimizes the environmental impact of the homes but also provides significant savings for homeowners in terms of energy costs.

Quality

Quality underpins every aspect of a Dan-Wood home. The company uses superior materials, sourced primarily from Scandinavia, to ensure durability and longevity. Additionally, all Dan-Wood houses are built in controlled indoor conditions, thereby reducing the risk of damage from adverse weather during the construction phase. Furthermore, rigorous quality control measures are put in place throughout the process to guarantee the highest level of workmanship.

Full-Service Package

Another significant advantage of choosing Dan-Wood is the company's full-service package from the factory and its local agent in the UK, which allows for a stress-free home building experience. From initial design discussions to handing over the keys, Dan-Wood, their local agent and Cherish Homes combine to take care of everything, including planning applications and permissions, site inspections, warranties, foundations and even landscaping. This turn-key solution is designed to provide homeowners with a seamless and hassle-free journey to their dream home.

Multiple House Designs

In terms of architectural styles, Dan-Wood offers a diverse range of options. Whether you prefer a traditional farmhouse, a contemporary minimalist design, or anything in between, Dan-Wood can bring your vision to life. The company's network of expert architects and designers, including at Cherish Homes, are well-equipped to create unique and functional designs that seamlessly blend aesthetics with practicality.

It's not just the company's products and services that have received acclaim, but also its customer service. Dan-Wood has a strong reputation for its responsive and customer-centric approach.
