There are many reasons to build in timber. Building with timber means choosing a material that combines tradition with innovation — a choice that benefits people and the planet alike. From ecological advantages to energy efficiency, wellbeing and a significant reduction in construction time, timber buildings offer countless benefits and open up new possibilities for the sustainable buildings of tomorrow. We build for the planet!
Binderholz mass timber solutions are superior to conventional construction methods in terms of ecology, lean construction and life cycle costs. They offer high quality with comparatively low time and cost expenditure for construction combined with a long lifetime and value preservation.
Smart solutions always comes with timber magic
Timber offers flexible, high-performance solutions for modern buildings – from bold architecture to clever infill.
Strong yet lightweight
Timber offers exceptional structural strength with low deadweight – perfect for multi-storey buildings and large spans.
Built up, built in
Timber’s lightweight and dry construction method make it ideal for rooftop additions and densifying existing structures.
Naturally beautiful
Warm timber surfaces, natural materials and diverse finishes create a unique architectural feel and a healthy indoor climate.
Mass Timber delivers safety, longevity and circularity
Durable by design
With proper detailing and certified materials, timber buildings remain durable and maintain their value over generations.
Safe and protective
Engineered timber meets modern safety standards – with predictable fire performance and strong acoustic and thermal properties.
Healthy indoors
Timber supports well-being through low emissions, natural humidity regulation, and improved indoor air quality.
Ready for Reuse
At the end of its life cycle, a mass timber building can easily be dismantled and components reused or recycled – supporting a circular economy.
Various possibilities
Wood is a versatile material that can be used for a variety of building types, from residential to commercial.
there are challenges in mass timber construction, as with all constructions. However, it is important to be aware of them and take appropriate measures for prevention or impact minimisation at an early stage in the project. For example: Yes, wood burns. But it has the capacity of building up a protective layer of carbon in the event of a fire. It has an insulating effect, delays burn-off and counteracts fire propagation. In practice, this means that the core of load-bearing timber constructions, for example walls or ceilings, remains undamaged for a long time.
Today, the load- bearing capacity of CLT BBS components in the event of a fire can be calculated with high accuracy. In the design phase, the applicable building regulations and design guidance need to be respected. Considering this, modern timber construction fulfills the required safety standards for fire protection.
From b-project’s perspective
b-project has many years of experience with these topics. They have seen various good and not so good practises along their way, have carried out many investigations and tests, including extensive fire tests at various independent and accredited testing institutions and have developed their own approach to moisture management with various measures at all stages of the project.
