About Us
We are a small team of dedicated professionals who are passionate about building with timber, prefabrication and helping to build affordable, comfortable homes without compromising on aesthetics and minimising environmental impact of dwellings both during the building phase as well during everyday usage.
Formerly working under the name of RAICO Pacific Pty Ltd, we have built a reputation for exactly that with 40+ CLT projects accomplished around the nation (new builds, extensions and retrofits), many of them with Passivhaus performance and a lot of them turned into certified Passivhauses.
We've been awarded the 2022 Sustainability Awards for Education and Research (Article here), and the 2022 Timber Design Awards in Sustainability and Small Budget (Article here) for S.e.ed designed by Betti&Knut.
Countless more projects have been accompanied and fabricated using the RAICO façade and skylight systems.
Rebranding to become CLT Projects Pty Ltd allows us to streamline and focus on our passion in designing, planning and building CLT buildings.
The team you may have worked with in the past, or have been recommended by previous customers, remains the same and we are excited to help you on your journey to own and enjoy your own CLT building! We will share our ample experience and guide you and your team to a successful build.
Sincerely Yours,
Yumi, Charlot, Andreas and Tristan

Why we build with Cross Laminated Timber
We love building with Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) because it helps us create beautiful, healthy and efficient homes. Benefits include:
- it's made from a regrowing resource that is responsibly managed – endorsed by FSC and PEFC certifications
- high-precision prefabrication – reducing waste in the factory and on site
- short build times – a typical 4-bedroom home structure can be up and preliminarily weather-tight within 2–3 days
- naturally easier to make buildings airtight – essential for energy-efficient homes
- strong and durable – designed to last
- CO₂ storage – the finished building often stores more CO₂ than is emitted during transport and construction (example here)
- warm, natural material that supports a calm, healthy indoor environment
- helpful thermal mass and phase shift – reduces temperature fluctuations inside the home
