Doru Pungă, founder of Opercons

Our founder

A forestry engineer in love with wood

Opercons started in 2003 from the passion of Doru Pungă, a forestry engineer who saw in wood not just a building material, but an entire universe of possibilities — from residential structures to handcrafted pieces. Over time, that passion grew into a full team of craftsmen and engineers who carry the same philosophy forward.

"I learned an important lesson while in the forest: nothing good is made in a rush."

Doru Pungă, founder

When he's not at the factory, Doru is at the farm — taking care of over 100 Black Angus cattle, raised in the mountains, which have since grown into a separate business: Fergus Farm.

23 years of experience
working with wood

01 — Our Company

Opercons set out in 2003, from a small workshop and a simple conviction: wood, worked with care, can stand in for almost any other material — and can look better than any of them.

Today we build residential and commercial structures of all sizes — from social housing produced in series, to individual houses, commercial modules, and handcrafted furniture pieces. What has changed since the beginning is the scale of the projects. What has stayed the same is the care for every piece of wood that leaves our factory — from selecting the wood, to processing it, to the equipment and software we work with.

What you get when you work with us

Responsiveness

A qualified team, available exactly when you need it.

Attention to detail

Every joint and every finish — checked before it leaves the factory.

Remarkable quality

Carefully selected materials and production processes tested over time.

Real value

Fair prices for a structure designed to last generations.

We're a group of people who genuinely care about what comes out of their hands — craftsmen, engineers and site staff, with a single shared goal: a timber structure that makes both the beneficiary and us proud.

03 — Where Our Wood Comes From

Our headquarters are in a mountain area, with certified forests — that's where we source every piece of wood.

Certified forests

Wood harvested from sustainably managed forests, with European certification, that preserve their biodiversity and regenerate naturally.

Natural drying

Logs selected and stored outdoors, left to dry at their own pace, not forced.

Stock prepared in advance

A generous stock lets us choose exactly the right pieces for each project, quickly and without compromise.

04 — What We Do, More Precisely

Design

We design any type of structure, using timber-specialized software (SEMA, ArchiCAD) and 25 years of experience behind us. We also work just as well alongside your own architect, if you already have one.

Production

For timber frame and post & beam: the wood goes through the Woodmizer sawmill, the De-Narde chambers, planing at Weinig and the Hundegger K2 line. For log houses, it's hand work — our craftsmen.

05 — Clients and Partners
