Timber Construction
Our experience in timber construction
In timber construction, we combine experience with precision and integrated planning. We don’t view wood in isolation, but rather as part of a well-thought-out system—often in combination with materials such as clay or concrete. This results in robust, cost-effective structures of high structural quality.
Our projects demonstrate that structural engineering and architecture go hand in hand: clear load transfer, exposed structures, and minimalist components result in efficient, high-quality solutions. The earlier we are involved, the more effectively we can optimize resources, details, and execution.
From delicate structures to large-span buildings, we develop suitable structural systems while also taking manufacturing and installation into account. We place a special emphasis on retrofitting existing buildings, where wood stands out for its light weight and high performance.
Through project development with gbd SUSTAIN, structural engineering, and construction management, we provide comprehensive support for projects—delivering sustainable and cost-effective solutions that stand the test of time.
