Testimonials

We convey the technical relationships as well as the responsibility that all those involved along the wood value chain assume if wood is used for modern, efficient, climate-friendly and sustainable construction
Using timber construction meaningful and with a sense of proportion – we want to impart the sound specialist knowledge for this.
We try to counteract the ever-increasing complexity in the construction industry: simply build!
Comprehensive knowledge of timber construction is the key to serving the exploding demand for building concepts with renewable raw materials.
Wood as a material offers enormous design potential for architecture and engineering. It can be used in a wide variety of ways. What fascinates me about wood is not only the aesthetic expression of the material, but also the special tectonics and the precision of digital production methods.
