Wooden houses have their own charm and when it comes to a one-stop solution for wooden homes and structures, one can easily rely on Woodbarn India. Woodbarn provides versatile solutions for prefabricated wooden homes and structures. The brand aims at changing the dynamics of the architecture and construction industry in India.
Brainchild of Sanjay Sharma, who is a new age entrepreneur with more than 25 years of experience, the brand aims to be the country’s most preferred name in wooden prefabricated structures.
It was his passion for wood and wooden structures that led to the initiation of Woodbarn India in 2006. His extensive knowledge in the wooden industry has made Woodbarn India is a pioneer in the wooden construction industry.
According to Sanjay, Woodbarn India is not just a commercial venture, but it’s a brand that interacts with the environment and its resources in the most sustainable manner to give world-class living solutions to the country. The company is continuously working towards changing the mindsets and flourishing in a country that was earlier resistant to contemporary wooden structures.
After introducing the concept of wooden structures, Woodbarn India intended to shift customers’ focus from conventional materials for homes like steel, brick and cement to charming, eco-friendly wooden homes. In a country like India, where contemporary wooden construction wasn’t accepted formerly, Woodbarn India created a niche in the wooden housing segment.
Being into furniture business from his initial days, Sanjay used to manufacture wooden products. The idea of WoodBarn India was conceived from his passion and enthusiasm for wood. The concept of Woodbarn India was incepted when he was travelling on a flight in 2005, and he met a worker who polished wood, the worker mentioned a wooden house near the river and presented some fascinating photographs of the structure, which lured Sanjay. After a few days, he saw a company manufacturing wood houses at an exhibition abroad. Sanjay was extremely impressed by the concept, and the images were imprinted in his mind, which lead to the beginning of a disruptor in wooden prefabricated structures Woodbarn India.
Woodbarn as a brand is evolving mindsets that believe in conventional construction and making a mark in the industry as it treads towards revolutionizing homes into wooden dwellings and eco-friendly infrastructures. To source wood sustainably, Woodbarn India collaborated with some of the best companies across the world, dealing in wood since 2014, to include their expertise in their creations.
Since its inception, Woodbarn India has delivered over 700 structures all across the country. The project includes wooden homes, eco-log huts, vacation homes, farmhouses, resorts, gazebos, terraces, and tree-houses, to name a few. Some of the notable projects handled by Woodbarn India were for Uttrakhand Tourism, Chhatisgarh Tourism, Maharashtra Tourism, and Jammu & Kashmir Tourism. Some of the projects in the hospitality domain are for ITC and Club Mahindra. Other clients of the brand include Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) and Infosys.
Woodbarn India thrives on using high-quality SPF (Spruce Pine Fir) lumber sourced from sustainably managed and protected forests of Canada for key-turning wood solutions. The structures at Woodbarn India are principally approved by Hindustan Prefab Limited, A Government of India Enterprise.
The brand believes in bringing together the art of science and design to present world-class solutions to its clients. With its extensive knowledge and experience in the industry, Woodbarn delivers excellence in the field of wooden structures. The brand uses a systemized approach and proactive planning for effective and practical work solutions. It also believes in building long-term and enriching customer relationships.
