HAWO manufactures fully finished holiday homes and accommodation suites for tourism use. With HAWO’s construction method, both resort developments and individual holiday homes or suites can be delivered quickly and cost-effectively.
Hawo’s signature panoramic windows and premium-level finish meet the expectations of even the most demanding clients in destinations set amid Northern Lights tourism and Finland’s iconic national landscapes.
+ Predictability. With HAWO, costs and schedules are fixed and controlled in factory conditions, significantly reducing financial and operational risk—especially in remote and Arctic locations.
+ Effortless delivery. HAWO projects are delivered as fully finished, ready-to-install buildings. Instead of managing a complex construction site, you receive completed accommodation units directly to your plot.
+ Partnership model. Clients do not need an in-house development or construction management organization. HAWO acts as a project partner throughout every phase, including building permit applications and local compliance.
+ Quality control. HAWO’s factory holds an FC certification for timber construction and operates a unique 100% dry-chain production process, ensuring consistent quality and long-term durability in Nordic climate conditions.
+ Speed & scalability. HAWO’s factory production time is approximately 30 working days per unit. For projects ranging from 1 to 20+ accommodation units, the average end-to-end delivery time from order to installation is 3–6 months, enabling rapid response to market demand.
+ HAWO’s prefabrication concept is the most straightforward and risk-controlled way to build in Lapland.
+ B energy class structures, combined with 200/225 mm thermal insulation and an airtight building envelope, help keep heating costs under control throughout long Arctic winters.
+ High-quality interiors and modern, hard-wearing surface materials are designed to withstand intensive use across peak tourism seasons without compromising guest experience.
+ The buildings are delivered as complete, ready-made units. Installation is fast and causes minimal disruption to ongoing resort or accommodation operations.
+ A concrete-free substructure and steel foundation system ensure long-term durability on frost-heaving soils and mountainous terrain, typical of Lapland and fell areas.
+ Relocatable investment. If operational needs change, HAWO buildings can be relocated as complete units to a new site and use case, making the investment flexible, long-lasting, and future-proof.
Hawo houses are an ideal solution for Lapland’s fell and Arctic tourism destinations, where quality, reliability, and long service life are critical investment values.
