Wood has success

Innovative wood-frame walls with openings (WMOE) enhance efficiency, sustainability, and architectural freedom. Thanks to research at BFH and Timbatec’s applied expertise, structural systems are becoming more stable, more economical, and structurally optimized—a forward-looking approach to modern timber construction.

The «Timber City» event series by Wüest Partner showcases how timber construction is shaping the transformation of the construction and real estate industries. Timbatec is supporting the two events on June 17 and November 11, 2026, as a sponsor and partner. At these events, experts will discuss current developments and practical solutions.

At the Wood Construction Congress in Brixen, Timbatec demonstrated what defines modern wood construction: not just spectacular projects, but above all well-thought-out, resource-efficient solutions. The focus was on construction, material use, and new technologies with an eye toward CO₂ reduction and circularity.

Precise construction planning is key: For the new upper secondary school in Ins, Bern, Timbatec developed detailed solutions for the structural framework, connections, and interfaces. This formed the basis for an efficient and seamless implementation of the timber construction project.

The project to expand the Paul Reinhart Elementary School in Weinfelden stands out for its clean, wood-based design, high flexibility, and respectful approach to the existing structure. At its core are an efficient structural concept, modular designs, and a construction method tailored to the materials used, ensuring long-term usability.

This spring, six new interns began their internships at various Timbatec locations. Janik, David, Christian, Leander, Stefan, and Greg: Welcome to the Timbatec family. We wish you an inspiring, educational, and enriching internship year.
