Discover the BHB story

Our story begins with passion

It all started with one idea – the love of wood. In the late 1990s, Joachim Bertsch, founder of BHB, decided to combine his lifelong passions: craftsmanship, design and wood. In a small workshop, surrounded by forests, the vision of creating things that are durable, beautiful and functional was born.

Joachim started his business alone. He designed, constructed and sought out customers himself, putting his whole heart into it. Every house that left his workshop told a story – a story of precision, quality and love of craftsmanship.

Family tradition and new generations

BHB is a family business whose values have been passed down from generation to generation. Over time, Joachim has passed on his knowledge and passion to a team of professionals who have become the pillars of his company. Thanks to their commitment and cooperation, BHB has become an international leader in the timber construction industry.

Today, BHB is not just a company – it is a family. It is a place that brings people together with a shared passion for wood and creation. Every employee, customer and business partner becomes part of our story. That is why we treat our customers as partners – we listen to their needs, look for solutions together and support them at every stage of their projects. It is this philosophy that allows us to build lasting relationships that transform everyday activities into something special.

Every project we undertake has one goal: to bring beauty and functionality to our clients’ lives. We create spaces that become part of family memories, places of inspiration and daily relaxation. Our designs combine the harmony of nature with modern design, allowing each space to reach its full potential. For us, it’s more than a job – it’s a mission to provide products that enrich life while respecting the environment and enhancing the timeless beauty of wood.

Wood – a material with soul

Wood has always been more than just a building material for us. It is a symbol of durability and harmony with nature, which blends perfectly with the surrounding world. Every plank of wood used in our constructions is a testament to the care with which we approach our work. We carefully select each element to meet the highest quality standards and preserve the unique character of the
