A Wild Hearts project

Build safe, sustainable places.

Wild Constructions takes on repairs, timber work, ecological upgrades and complete off-grid builds. We plan carefully, bring the right people in and keep sight of who the place is for.

The idea

A more human way to build.

Construction is practical. Roofs need to keep the rain out, walls need to hold, and projects need a safe plan, a realistic budget and a solid finish.

But a building is never just an object. It shapes how people live, work, meet and feel at home. Before we draw or price anything, we look at the people, the place, the existing structure and what the project is really for.

That is what a human approach looks like here: better questions, clearer decisions and respectful collaboration.

01 Craft, curiosity and honest materials.

Construction with purpose

Build for people.

We are a commercial construction company with a straightforward human purpose. The work should be useful, durable and financially honest. Everyone involved should be treated with the same care we give the materials.

01

For the people who live with it

We start with safety, dignity, access and everyday use—not a catalogue image or a statement of status.

02

For the people who build it

Clear briefs, safe conditions, the right supervision and a real voice for collaborators, employees and specialist trades.

03

For the place and its future

Repair before replacing. Choose materials with care, reduce waste and design for maintenance—not obsolescence.

This is not a side project. It shapes how we brief, price, plan, build and hand over the work.

What we build

Practical work. Human purpose.

We lead the parts we can do well, bring in qualified local professionals for specialist work and stay clear about what is—and is not—in scope.

Renovation

We repair and improve homes, retreat centres and shared spaces, keeping what still works.

From Start to Finish

We turn an early idea into a buildable plan and stay with it through construction and the last details.

01 · Repair

Renovation

Careful repair starts by finding the real cause, keeping what is still sound and fixing the building properly.

  • Roof and wall repairs
  • Wood rot assessment and repair
  • Structural improvements
Discuss a renovation

02 · Make

Ecological Construction

New work shaped around durable natural materials, the existing place and what the people using it actually need.

  • Ecological extensions
  • Rebuilds
  • Special or alternative wooden creations

03 · Imagine

Off-Grid Structures

Independent places designed as complete, understandable systems rather than isolated pieces of technology.

  • Full off-grid cabins
  • Tiny houses
  • Livable tree cabins

Social & Community Projects

Practical building work can strengthen places that already serve people—or help create accessible ways of living together.

  • Renovation of retreat and community spaces
  • Volunteer repair and building gatherings
  • Shared workshops, kitchens and pavilions
  • Alternative and social housing projects

Our projects

Projects, past and present.

New Eden is our current work. The completed projects show the range we want to grow: careful timber work, thoughtful renovation and close collaboration with local craftspeople.

Project 02 · Completed 2020

Yourte-inspired wooden yoga space

An independent timber building in the canton of Fribourg, Switzerland. The brief was simple: a warm, quiet, self-contained room for yoga and movement, shaped by the idea of a yourte without pretending to be one.

Mountain chalet renovation

A careful mountain chalet renovation with several local artisans. The job was as much about coordination as craft: understanding the old building, sequencing specialist work and respecting the character of the place.

How we work

Clear work. Good building.

01

Be clear

Agree the scope, responsibilities and next decision before work moves on.

02

Build properly

Use honest materials, qualified skills and methods that suit the building—not the latest trend.

03

Work with people

Clients, craftspeople, employees and partners should understand the work and have a real say in it.

What clients get

Clear standards, every project.

A human approach still needs clear scope, realistic pricing, safe working, capable people and a proper handover.

01

Scope and assumptions

Before we commit, we say what is included, where a specialist is needed and what still needs checking.

02

Cost and programme

We talk about realistic budgets, sequencing and decisions early, and agree changes instead of hiding them in the final bill.

03

Safety and competence

Work is planned around the actual risks, skills and supervision. Specialist work goes to qualified local professionals.

04

Handover and care

We finish with checks, clear information and practical advice so people know what was done and how to look after it.

Our process

From idea to handover.

We don’t start with a product catalogue or a beautiful sketch. We start with the people, the building, the land, the budget and the rules that apply to the site.

Off-grid systems are one part of that work. So are repairs, materials, permits, specialist trades, safety and the ordinary details that make a building work every day.

  1. 01

    Understand the place

    Clarify who the place is for, how it is used, what already exists and what the site can support. We look at condition, access, context, risks and planning constraints.

    We leave with: a shared brief, the real constraints and the first priorities.

  2. 02

    Define the brief

    Turn the first conversation into a practical scope: what needs repair, what should be added, what must happen now and what can wait.

    We leave with: priorities and options grounded in daily life rather than optimistic guesses.

  3. 03

    Plan the work

    Develop the construction plan, materials, sequence, permits, specialist input and safety arrangements. Repair and reuse are considered before replacement.

    We leave with: a buildable plan and named responsibilities.

  4. 04

    Price and agree the work

    Compare realistic options, identify specialist work and set out the budget, programme, assumptions and change process before construction starts.

    We leave with: an honest budget, a sequence and a clear decision path.

  5. 05

    Build and stay in touch

    Coordinate the site, the people, the materials and the decisions. Keep the client informed, involve the workforce and monitor the work as conditions change.

    We leave with: work that is safe, coordinated and understood.

  6. 06

    Handover and care

    Check the work, resolve outstanding details, document important systems and explain what the people using the place need to know for maintenance and future decisions.

    We leave with: a working place, clear information and a plan for care.

Systems we use

Tools that fit the place.

These manufacturers are reference points, not sponsors or fixed specifications. Every product still has to suit the site, budget, climate, local service and the people who will maintain it.

Electrical, structural, drinking-water, wastewater and combustion systems are finalised with qualified local professionals and must comply with the permits, product approvals and safety rules of the project location.

What’s next

Ideas we want to build.

How little space can still hold a full life? How can a home sit lightly in the forest? What can be built in stages, with systems that stay understandable and repairable?

These visual studies are not current offers or announced projects. They show the kinds of structures we may explore with clients, architects, engineers and craftspeople when the site, budget and purpose are right.

Study 01

A small A-frame for year-round living

A compact timber home shaped around shelter, warmth, storage and a modest off-grid system—not a holiday home enlarged beyond its purpose.

Study 02

A treehouse made for living

Insulated, serviceable and carefully supported: a small home that respects mature trees instead of turning them into decoration.

Study 03

Built in stages

The structure first. Then a weather-tight shell. Then power, water and warmth sized around daily life and the money actually available.

Horizon

More to build.

Cabins in forests. Retreat spaces beside water. Treehouses that feel grown rather than imposed. Alternative homes designed around enough rather than excess.

This is a direction, not a promise: buildings with imagination, restraint and a clear reason for being.
