That same spirit runs deep on the American side of Ludo as well. Long before Ludo carried panelized construction across the Atlantic, the same idea was taking shape in a home workshop an ocean away, in the hands of the grandfather of Ludo’s US partner, Jed Klebanow. He was one man with a workshop, a truck, and an unusual conviction: that a person could design and raise their own home from the ground up. Over the years he did exactly that, again and again. He drew the plans himself, framed the walls and roof trusses as large panels in his own shop, then hauled them by pickup to the site to be raised. The photograph above catches him mid-project, perched on a stack of trusses he built by hand.
He was panelizing before the word meant much to anyone, driven by skill, resourcefulness, and the satisfaction of building something to last. It's the same principle Ludo is built on today: pieces made with care in the shop, then assembled on site. Two lineages of the same idea, one Swedish and one built in a family workshop right here, now meet in the work we do every day. Ludo's goal is to create the next generation of customer experience for those who want to make their building dreams a reality!
