Certified solutions and technology

As a result of strategic and innovative product development, Kodumaja has developed and implemented technical solutions, details, structures and technologies of work performance which conform with construction norms and standards applicable in our markets.

All design, production and construction works are carried out by professional employees of Kodumaja under the guidance and supervision of experienced specialists and managers. If necessary, we engage local design companies which operate in our markets for the designing process. Quality management and control of the performance of all works is organised in conformity with the requirements of ISO 9001:2008.

The aforesaid is certified by the following certificates awarded to Kodumaja's products, production and construction process and quality assurance system by the Norwegian Institute of Construction Research (SINTEF Building and Infrastructure):

European Technical Approval no. ETA-08/1178	NBI Technical Approval no. 2485

and by the certificates issued by Bureau Veritas Certification which certify that the organisation and functioning of Kodumaja companies' management system (including quality management system) comply with ISO 9001:2008. Read more: Quality assurance.

It is important to point out that certified solutions include also technical and technological solutions of the construction of "wet" rooms (bathrooms, etc.)

Organisations issuing Technical Approvals and certificates carry out regular and independent audits in Kodumaja companies to ensure the continuing presence of conditions required for the validity of Technical Approvals and certificates.

In the Russian market, special attention is given to the conformity of timber-framed buildings with fireproofing requirements. Fireproofing calculations of Kodumaja structures and tests of the structures conducted in specialised laboratories prove that Kodumaja structures conform to the requirements of fireproofing class 3 of Russia's current construction norms and Kodumaja was issued a respective Technical Approval. 

Technical Approval issued to Kodumaja by the All-Russian Research Institute for Fire Protection (Федеральное Государственное Учреждение «Всероссийский ордена «Знак Почёта» научно-исследовательский институт противопожарной обороны (ФГУ ВНИИПО МЧС России)) under the Ministry of the Russian Federation for Affairs of Civil Defence, Emergencies and Disaster Relief (Министерство Российской Федерации по делам гражданской обороны, чрезвычайным ситуациям и ликвидации последствий стихийных бедствий).
