What Skilpod does

Skilpod is a Belgian prefabricated modular timber-frame home builder founded in 2012 by Filip Timmermans (engineer) and Jan Vrijs (jurist), operating through the legal entity Wolfe BV. The company designs and manufactures factory-built homes using Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) construction with protective multi-layer cladding, then transports and installs the modules on site. Its product range consists of ten standardized models (#80 through #165) ranging from 80m² two-bedroom bungalows to 165m² four-bedroom two-story homes, all delivered turnkey at an all-in starting price of €199,313 (excl. VAT) and including 8 solar panels, a 5 kWh home battery, heat pump, kitchen with AEG appliances, bathroom, and ventilation system as standard.

The company serves three primary customer segments: individual homebuyers and families across Belgium and the Netherlands, small property investors purchasing single or multiple units for rental, and B2B/B2G clients including social housing corporations, project developers, and government entities. Distribution combines direct-to-consumer channels (a Dutch-language website, two show homes in Geel and Herzele, regional sales representatives, events and open atelier days, an ambassador/referral program) with a dedicated B2B division operating through business.skilpod.com and framework contracts with Aedes (Dutch housing corporations) and Wonen in Vlaanderen (Flemish social housing). Skilpod has expanded its product surface beyond single-family homes to include modular apartment buildings up to 5 floors high.

Revenue is generated entirely through one-time project sales of prefabricated homes and related project development services, with optional premium finishing upgrades (Skilpacks) providing additional margin. Pricing is fixed and all-inclusive, covering permits, foundation, utilities, solar, battery, kitchen and bathroom, supported by a single point of contact throughout the process. The company has secured approximately €11 million in disclosed external capital (most recently an €11 million capital increase in November 2023 from Vanroey, Futech, and Welvaartsfonds) and reports an order book of roughly 300 modular homes as of mid-2026, indicating a meaningful contracted backlog. Manufacturing is concentrated at the Geel atelier with show homes in both Geel and Herzele.
