Wood inspires

As part of the continuing education series «Hot Topic: Fire Protection in Timber Construction,» Yves Schihin and Andreas Burgherr provided insights into planning, implementation, and built examples from Switzerland. The focus was on robust concepts, systematics, and the integral approach in multi-story timber construction.

For ten years, Marcel Limbach has been shaping Timbatec with his strong project work, clear eye for costs, deadlines, and quality, and genuine team spirit. As co-head of plant planning, CAD specialist, and trainer, he combines practical knowledge with reliability—both in projects and within the team.

As part of the sia event series «Holzbau berühren» (Touching Timber Construction), Marcel Muster and Lisa Rogatsch demonstrate how timber hybrid buildings are structurally well thought out and constructively implemented. The focus is on the structural concept and the targeted use of TS3 technology in the Zelgstrasse project in Uster. Added value for investors, planners, architects, and timber builders.

We wish you and your families a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2026. Best wishes for a happy and successful New Year. Many thanks to our customers and business partners for the trust they have placed in us and the productive collaboration.

At the Timbatec Salon in Vienna, everything revolved around the question of what implementation planning needs to look like in order to meet the requirements of timber construction. Around 40 guests discussed experiences from the LeopoldQuartier and practical approaches for better interfaces.

Wood Camp Live brings together international timber construction experts in Brno. Among them: Tamir Pixner from Timbatec, who will use the NQW project to show how well thought-out planning, clever details and integrated fire protection make sophisticated timber buildings possible.

The planning team led by gdap architectes sàrl, Geneva, achieved 2nd place in the «EMS Alp'Age-PSVJ» competition with the «ELSA» project. The design is based on a clear timber construction method and harmoniously integrates the nursing home into the challenging topography and the surrounding educational and healthcare area.

Discover how basements and floor slabs made of wood become reality at the Early Bird event at the International Wood Construction Forum. Over coffee and croissants, Timbase will show you how they plan, build and successfully implement innovative timber construction projects as a total contractor. Find out more now!

Today, wood can support spans and shapes that were hardly imaginable in the past. Precise production, strong connections and new materials open doors for bold constructions. In Timber and Technology magazine, we take a look at projects that make this development tangible.

The Timbatec autumn team day was all about real practice: we brushed up on our first aid skills, pressed on the resuscitation dummy, practiced using the defibrillator and saw how new raw materials are created from construction waste at Eberhard Unternehmungen. This is Timbaday.

The award-winning «Couplage» project creates a link between the former restaurant at Uttigenstrasse 31 and the new cartridge factory and is both visually and structurally impressive. Timbatec is responsible for the structural timber engineering of the new five-storey commercial building in Thun.

Hello, hello Hamburg! After five years of development, we are bringing our Swiss timber construction expertise to Germany. With a deep understanding of structural design, structural analysis in timber construction, fire protection and building physics, Eurocode-fit and locally anchored. Jari Janowski has been managing our office in Hamburg since 1.9.2025.
