More and more large buildings are being built with timber as a renewable building material. Timbatec is a leading, innovative company in this growing future market. We construct multi-story buildings, industrial buildings and bridges in timber. And we develop modern timber construction products according to individual requirements.
In April, the foundation stone was laid in Winterthur for the largest timber development ever planned in Switzerland. More than 300 apartments are being built in the 2000-watt capable development, for which Timbatec is responsible for planning the timber construction. The first residents will be able to move into their new homes in spring 2018.
Cities made of wood should become reality. At a conference, the timber industry explained to institutional builders how large-volume, economical and safe construction can be achieved in cities with wood. Timbatec was a sponsor and partner.
The residential and commercial building of the Stanley Thomas Johnson Foundation in Köniz received the "Recognition Region Mitte" at the Lignum Prize 2015. The Lignum Prize is awarded every three years in five major regions of Switzerland for pioneering timber construction projects.
The return of wood as a building material to the city was also a major topic at Swissbau.
The opening ceremony of "TIMBATEC Timber Construction Engineers GmbH" was a complete success. Numerous guests from the Austrian architectural, building and timber construction scene celebrated the opening of TIMBATEC Austria on 21 September.
"TIMBATEC Austria" has opened! On the occasion of the opening we invite to the celebration: On 21.9.2015, at the "Karmelitermarkt" (near the Vienna office).
Some of the technicians move from Thun to Berne in order to concentrate their forces on the markets.
The new fire protection standard has been in effect throughout Switzerland since 1 January 2015. Timbatec is already planning several projects with a total of 350 apartments according to this new standard.
Timbatec engineers plan timber buildings for around CHF 50 million a year. How much of this is Swiss wood?
