011H has recently closed a €20 million Series A funding round, supported by Ship2B Ventures through the BSocial Impact Fund I (backed by Banc Sabadell, EIF and AXIS), Clave Capital, Nara Capital, CDTI Innvierte, the EIC Fund and others.
The construction sector is responsible for nearly 40% of global CO₂ emissions, making it one of the most urgent industries to transform if we want to meet climate targets. Yet the sector remains highly fragmented, slow to innovate, and heavily dependent on traditional materials such as concrete and steel.
As cities grow and housing demand increases across Europe, the challenge is not only building more homes, but building them faster, more efficiently, and with a drastically lower environmental footprint.
At Ship2B Ventures, we invest in solutions that combine strong economic fundamentals with measurable environmental impact. That is why we invested in 011h, a new-generation construction company rethinking how buildings are designed and produced.
Industrializing sustainable construction
011h is pioneering a new model for residential construction based on industrialized building processes and low-carbon materials, particularly timber.
Founded by Lucas Carné, José Manuel Villanueva and Josep Barberá, the company develops residential buildings using a vertically integrated approach that combines:
- Industrialized construction
- Digital design and planning
- Low-carbon materials such as engineered timber
- Optimized supply chains and manufacturing processes
This model allows buildings to be produced with greater precision, lower waste and significantly reduced emissions compared to traditional construction methods.
Industrialization also improves speed, predictability and scalability, key elements to address Europe’s housing shortage.
Scaling a new generation of developers
011h is already developing multiple projects in Spain, with residential developments currently underway and partnerships with major real estate developers such as Aedas Homes, Culmia and Renta Corporación.
The company’s approach enables developers to deliver housing faster and more sustainably, while maintaining competitive costs, a critical factor for widespread adoption.
By combining technology, design and manufacturing principles, 011h represents a new category of construction company built for the climate transition.
Why this matters
Transforming construction is essential to achieving climate neutrality.
Traditional construction methods generate high levels of emissions due to:
- Carbon-intensive materials such as cement and steel
- Inefficient building processes
- High levels of on-site waste
- Limited standardization across projects
Industrialized timber construction offers a compelling alternative by reducing emissions, optimizing resource use and enabling repeatable, scalable building systems.
Solutions like those developed by 011h have the potential to significantly decarbonize urban development while addressing housing supply constraints.
Our commitment at Ship2B Ventures
At Ship2B Ventures, we support companies that are building the infrastructure of a more sustainable economy.
Through our climate investment strategy, we seek to back entrepreneurs who are transforming high-impact industries with scalable solutions.
011h represents exactly that: a company tackling one of the largest sources of global emissions with a model designed for both environmental impact and economic viability.
We are proud to support the team at 011h as they scale their vision and contribute to a new era of sustainable construction.
