Development of the Corporate and Non-Residential Business

「In April 2026, we renewed the B2B (corporate) business as “BESS ARCHITECTS.” Centered on 34 standardized wooden-home models in 4 types, we began offering 4 menus: Select, Custom, Free Design and Produce. We are also expanding our business in the non-residential field, including the launch of the “BESS Resort Package,” which enables resort facilities to open in as little as 1 year.」

「In the rental housing field, the Company held discussions with 旭化成不動産レジデンス株式会社 regarding business collaboration in rental multifamily housing and launched a joint project in May 2026.」

「In the Special Construction Business, BESS launched its first wooden multifamily housing product for rental use, a townhouse-style design, on 1 October 2025.」

「Consolidated contract value (orders) increased in both the direct-to-consumer housing business, up 48.6% year on year, and the B2B business (Special Construction Business), up 605.7%, bringing the total to ¥6,128 million, up 24.6% year on year.」

「The Company also completed Japan’s first three-story CLT (cross-laminated timber) log building in a fire protection district, in Fussa, Tokyo. Under the law, log buildings with exposed timber had previously been limited to two stories in fire protection districts, but this building became possible after the Company obtained “90-minute quasi-fire-resistant structure certification” in February 2023. Against the backdrop of growing environmental awareness regarding the SDGs and decarbonization, as well as the inclusion of “promotion of wooden construction” in the 2019 partial revision of the Building Standards Act, the Company will expand its sales activities to include detached homes, apartment buildings, low-rise buildings and commercial facilities.」

「In the B2B business (Special Construction Business), the Company will jointly produce a dormitory for the Hoikuen Ryugaku program in Atsuta-bu, Hokkaido, with 株式会社キッチハイク, based on “Sumi Log.”」

「In April 2022, the Company established the Special Construction Business Office and launched a B2B business targeting wooden facilities, commercial buildings and other structures. In February 2023, it obtained quasi-fire-resistant certification for CLT (cross-laminated timber) logs. It has already received orders for multiple CLT log buildings, including a multipurpose building at a kindergarten and a clubhouse at a sports facility.」

「Against the backdrop of growing social interest in wooden buildings and the government’s policies promoting timber construction, the Company is leveraging its BESS brand and accumulated expertise to develop the B2B market, including the construction and sale of wooden commercial facilities and other structures using CLT (cross-laminated timber) log construction.」

「The Ω Strategy Office, which had been positioned as the Corporate Business Division, was divided into real estate development and market development functions, and sales activities were conducted. However, the business remains at the stage of establishing a foundation and has not produced significant results. Activities will continue in order to create synergies with the BESS business.」

「The Ω Strategy Office, which had been positioned as the Corporate Business Division, was reorganized by function, and new Real Estate Development and Market Development divisions were established. The Real Estate Development Division will acquire and develop real estate to meet the needs of customers increasingly entering into simultaneous contracts for buildings and land. The Market Development Division will continue to serve as the Corporate Business Division and pursue new business development for resort and educational facilities, among other areas.」
