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, founderWhen 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.

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.

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.
