36 years in Turkey, now in Europe

As Nilşen İnşaat Taahhüt Sanayi Ticaret A.Ş. we have worked in restoration and timber construction in Turkey since 1990. We bring this experience to the Netherlands, and through the Netherlands to the whole of Europe, via our Dutch company Nilsen Restoration & Wood Structure B.V., registered on 3 December 2024. Our projects and restoration work in Turkey also serve as a reference for our work in Europe.

The quality certificates below were issued in Turkey to Nilşen İnşaat Taahhüt Sanayi Ticaret A.Ş.

Six disciplines, one continuous process

From the first structural survey to the last coat of paint, the same team carries the project — architects, engineers and craftsmen working from one set of drawings.

01

Restoration Projects & Applications

Restoration of structures with a load-bearing system of brick masonry, wood or stone masonry — carried out with original-matching materials, under heritage-authority approval and the supervision of our own architects and engineers.

See examples of our restoration projects and applications here

HSB Timber Structures

HSB — timber-frame construction — is our core building method: prefabricated timber-frame walls, floors and roof elements, manufactured at our own workshop and engineered to Dutch and European standards. We produce complete HSB houses as well as individual elements for other builders.

03

Structural Strengthening

Seismic and load assessment of existing buildings, with reinforcement that preserves the original fabric — including carbon-fibre strapping on brick-masonry heritage structures, applied under our İMO-approved strengthening programme.

Architectural & Structural Design

Survey, restitution and restoration drawings from our architects are developed into concrete, steel and timber structural designs by our engineers — one continuous set of drawings from concept to construction detail.

Four stages, no surprises

Every project follows the same sequence, so you always know what happens next and what it will cost before it happens.

Meet & Agree

We visit the building, listen to what you need, and confirm the scope together before any drawing begins.

Idea & Concept

Our architects and engineers translate the scope into a first design, shared and refined with you directly.

Design & Price

The approved design becomes a detailed structural plan, priced clearly — no work starts until you sign off.

Build & Install

Our own architects, engineers and craftsmen carry out the work — the same team from survey to final joinery.

Recent Restorations & Builds

A small selection from more than a hundred completed restorations and timber projects across Turkey and Europe.
