Jelovica
Photograph by Jelovica, from their own page. Used to show the product it depicts. Renderings are design intent, not to scale, not for construction.

Jelovica is published at $800 per square foot.

Jelovica does not publish a wind rating, a snow load or anything about fire for this model, so 69 percent of the fields we score are blank.

None of that tells you whether it works on your land. Wind, snow, seismic and flood performance are site specific engineering, so the only useful answer comes from running this kit against your address.

Completeness

31%

31 percent of the fields we score are backed by something Jelovica published. Why completeness is never part of the grade.

The thing nobody else will tell you

This kit cannot be scored on its own. Nothing on this page tells you whether it works on your land.

Wind, snow, seismic and flood performance come from your address, not from this kit. Put in an address and the gates run against the real requirement at that point.

Price

$800 to $1300 per square foot

The maker publishes a rate per square foot and no square footage for this model, so there is no honest total to show. Ask them for the finished size.

What that number coversAdvanced assembled shell structure: prefabricated external and internal timber frame walls, prefabricated wooden ceilings and roof structures, with windows and shading pre-installed. Client handles foundation, plumbing, electrical work and final finishing

What else we found

Lead time from the published '3 to 5 months depending on order volume' - recorded as approximately 17 weeks (4 months, mid-range); the full band is roughly 13-22 weeks. Certifications published: CE (ETA), RAL quality mark, PEFC, Green Star, Klimahaus CasaClima, Active House, Minergie. Warranty published as 30 years on timber-frame structures and 50 years on CLT. Based in Preddvor, Slovenia, manufacturing since 1945, over 13,000 projects. No U-values or model names published on this page.

Questions to send this maker

Generated from what they left blank. Every one of these is a thing they could answer today and have chosen not to publish. Copy them into an email. If they answer, tell us and we will update this page with the citation.

  • What design wind speed is this model engineered to, in miles per hour, and at what Risk Category and Exposure Category?
  • What ground snow load can the roof carry, in pounds per square foot, and is that the ground load or the roof load?
  • What is the roof assembly's fire classification, and are the vents ember resistant?
  • What Seismic Design Category will you engineer this model to, and is that included or a paid upgrade?
  • Which foundation types does this kit support, and can it sit on piers above a base flood elevation?
  • What is the wall R value, and is that nominal insulation or a tested whole assembly value including thermal bridging?
  • What is the roof R value, and is it nominal or whole assembly?
  • What is the finished square footage of this model?

Across the whole Index, the average kit publishes about a quarter of what a buyer needs. This maker is at 31 percent.

Questions people ask about the Jelovica

Answered from what Jelovica publishes, including the answers that are "they do not say".

How much does the Jelovica cost?

Jelovica publishes a rate, not a total: $800 per square foot to $1300. They publish no square footage for this model, so there is no honest total to give.

What wind speed is the Jelovica engineered to?

Jelovica does not publish a design wind speed for this model. Only about one kit maker in ten publishes one. Note that "hurricane rated" has no legal definition in the United States, so a page using that phrase without a number has told you nothing.

What snow load can the Jelovica roof take?

Jelovica does not publish a snow load for this model. Around one maker in twenty does.

Can you actually buy the Jelovica?

Yes. Jelovica takes orders for this model today.

What foundation does the Jelovica need?

Jelovica does not publish foundation options for this model. That matters more than it sounds: in a FEMA A or V flood zone the finished floor has to sit above the base flood elevation, and a kit offered on a slab only cannot get there.

How well does the Jelovica stand up to a hurricane or a wildfire?

The honest answer is what it resists, and under what conditions. No kit home is proof against either, and any page telling you otherwise is selling. "Hurricane rated" has no legal definition in the United States, no house can be tornado rated, and whole building certifications like LEED, Passive House and HERS all require a built, sited, inspected home and cannot be attached to a model from a spec sheet. What a maker can honestly tell you is what the design resists and under what conditions. For this model, they publish nothing at all.

Will the Jelovica work on my land?

Nothing on any spec sheet can answer that, including this one. Wind, snow, seismic, flood and soil requirements come from your address, not from the kit. The Kit Home Finder runs every kit in the Index against the published hazard data for your point and shows you what survives and why the rest did not. It is free.

How it compares

It documents more than the average panelised wood kit, 31 percent against 23, and more than 29 of the other 40 we hold.

Computed across all 514 kit homes in the Index, 41 of them panelised wood. Recomputed on every build.
