A-frame wooden cottage in an astounding 7 hours and 47 minutes, surpassing the targeted 8-hour benchmark and setting a new World Record. The record attempt took place during the ’32nd All India Builders Convention’ at Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Stadium in Goa, one of the most prestigious conventions in the Indian construction industry.

The feat was officially recognized by the Golden Book of World Records, an internationally acknowledged record-keeping company, which issued a provisional certificate of excellence to commemorate the achievement. Dr. Manish Vishnoei, Asia Head of the Golden Book of World Records, validated the timing and technical compliance of the build, ensuring that the achievement met stringent record verification standards. Dr. Vishnoei felicitated the provisional certificate of the World Record to Mr. Caesar Fernandes, the Founder of Wooden Homes India, in the presence of Mr. Pramod Sawant, the Chief Minister of Goa.

Dr. Manish Vishnoei from GBWR said “the world record is an example of precision, speed and innovation in prefab construction. The rapid build highlighted the proficiency of Indian installers and modular construction experts, setting new benchmarks for the prefab housing segment.” Mr. Caesar Fernandes, said “the cottage built by Wooden Homes India was a fully prefabricated wooden structure, designed to showcase the company’s expertise in modular and eco-friendly building solutions. This build was not only about speed but also about demonstrating high standards of quality, design and installation precision, reflecting the company’s approach to modern timber architecture”.

Wooden Homes India specializes in a variety of wooden structures; including cottages, villas and resort buildings, using renewable wood and advanced prefabrication methods to ensure durability, aesthetics, and energy efficiency.
