What ABLEGNO - Bevilacqua Adriano srl does

ABLEGNO - Bevilacqua Adriano srl (trading as AB Legno) is a family-owned Italian wooden construction company headquartered at Fagnano Olona (legal seat) and Tradate (operational/production facility), both in the province of Varese, Lombardy. Founded in 1986 by Adriano Bevilacqua and now run by his sons Luca and Marco Bevilacqua, the firm designs, engineers, prefabricates, and delivers turnkey passive wooden houses, villas, chalets, and timber roofing/structural coverings. Its customer base spans private homeowners (turnkey residences), architects and design studios (engineering partner role), and general contractors (specialized timber subcontractor for complex structures), with projects concentrated in Lombardia and selectively extending to Emilia-Romagna and other northern Italian provinces.

The company's technology stack combines Platform Frame (Telaio) and X-Lam (Cross-Laminated Timber) construction systems certified to Passivhaus and CasaClima Gold standards, with off-site prefabrication on a robotized Hundegger cutting line and on-site assembly of pre-cut elements including integrated insulation (Corkpan expanded cork), windows, electrical systems, and airtight envelopes verified by blower-door testing. Construction systems span framed panels, mass-timber walls, Brettstapel slabs, GL24 laminated roofs, exposed-beam floors, and green flat roofs — a depth of technical options that supports both single-family villas and multi-story urban buildings (up to 4 stories demonstrated at Modena in 2024). The firm holds a dense stack of certifications (CasaClima Partner since 2015, PEFC since 2016, S.A.L.E. since 2016, SOA since 2023, ISO 9001:2015 since 2025, Velux Certified Installer) and runs an annual industry event (Festa del Legno e della Sostenibilità, three editions 2023–2025) accredited by the Ordine degli Architetti di Varese.

Revenue is generated through project-based, one-time turnkey contracts priced per commercial square meter (technical design fees typically 8–10% of construction cost), supplemented by B2B roofing/structural timber works and structural consulting for architects. Pricing is quote-based with a preliminary business plan provided to clients upfront. The company is wholly family-owned with no external institutional capital, operates approximately 11–50 employees, and does not publicly disclose revenue. Distribution is direct and regional: all projects flow through company-controlled sales and delivery with no franchise, reseller, or marketplace model.
