Multi-storey timber structures

The future belongs to timber structures

The European Commission is promoting greater use of wood as a building material and "Lean construction" - a way of organising production processes in the construction industry with an emphasis on prefabrication. The results of the project will be applied not only in the construction of multi-storey timber-based buildings, but also in the production of prefabricated parts for any kind of timber building.

In December 2020, an extension of the sub-project until the end of 2022 was approved by the Technology Agency, under which the project was extended with 4 new results.
