Wooden house specialists Franche-Comté

Jean-Yves Rousseau, artisan carpenter and roofer, has spent nearly 30 years making L'Art du Toit a major player in wood construction and energy-efficient home renovation. L'Art du Toit's huge new workshops in Arceau provide a high capacity for the production of prefabricated wood elements for the company's projects. L'Art du Toit houses are highly energy-efficient architect-designed homes for the RE 2020 standard. They can already be passive, making maximum use of renewable energies, including photovoltaic tiles for self-consumption or rainwater harvesting (from which calories are extracted). Extensions, elevations and energy-efficient renovations are also part of the services offered, which can be described as a comprehensive package. Jean-Yves Rousseau's work also covers tertiary and industrial buildings, as well as local authority and condominium properties, for which wood solutions are perfectly suited, with strong biosourced insulation criteria. L'Art du Toit's expertise enables the construction of high-rise commercial buildings and promoters' projects, which regularly places the company on the wood projects of real estate players in the Dijon metropolitan area. As a member of the Côte-d'Or Chamber of Trades and Crafts, Jean-Yves Rousseau is helping to draw up the future thermal regulations, which will have a considerable impact on energy renovation issues.

Guillaume Adam and Manuel Rodrigues, both journeymen carpenters, created Dodecaèdre Charpente to concretize their affinity with virtuous wood construction because it is biosourced and efficient. For the insulation of the wood-frame houses they design, they have chosen the straw solution, which they certify through their membership in the French Straw Construction Network (RFCP). They are also certified as designers of passive buildings and have the RGE Eco Artisan label. Dodécardre already employs 9 people to carry out construction, extension, elevation and energy renovation projects using external insulation in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region.

The Mortier company, located in the north of the Côte-d'Or, specializes in woodwork, frameworks, extensions and elevations, and the construction of wood-frame houses. The mastery of all woodworking techniques, timber frame, glued laminated timber, frameworks, trusses, have earned the company a reputation among many architects in the Côte-d'Or and the South-East of Paris for the realization of projects for individuals or communities. The company also excels in wood or composite cladding solutions for exterior insulation, a high-performance solution that also allows for a great deal of aesthetic freedom. It is also in terms of creativity that wood finds its place with a bonus in terms of sustainable development.
