Advantages of element and prefab construction
CO2-neutral raw material
Cost effective
The short construction duration and high level of prefabrication means that timber construction has a clear advantage over other construction methods.
Durable and highly resistant
The oldest wooden building in Switzerland dates back to the 12th century and is located in Simplon Dorf. Ships and aircraft were built exclusively with wood for a very long period.
Indoor climate
Wood is cosy. Its ability to absorb and emit moisture again at all times creates a pleasant living climate.
More ecological
Renewable, environmentally friendly, short transportation routes, recyclable. These and many other arguments make wood the material of the future.
Rapid construction phase
Digital processes and well-established procedures make timber construction a flexible and rapid building method.
Strict fire protection
Wood burns – but predictably. Even in the event of a 1,000°C fire, wood remains undamaged and stable one centimetre below the charred surface.
Versatile applications
Bridges, halls, kitchens and stairs – wood can be used anywhere and combined with other materials.
