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.
This coming weekend, the population of the Canton of Bern will vote on a climate protection article - Timbatec says YES. Because: We are in favor of climate protection, and building with wood makes a significant contribution to this. In today's edition of "Der Bund" Stefan Zöllig explains why we have to stop building with steel and concrete.
The Austrian Federal Ministry for the Environment subsidizes timber construction projects with up to one euro per kilogram of wood used and a maximum of half a million euros per project and applicant. This is a clear commitment to wood as a building material. Timbatec welcomes this initiative and encourages all building owners to submit their projects.
Due to high demand, the HOLZarchitekTOUR will stop again in Thun at BMW15 - a multi-family house full of innovations. On October 21, together with the Initiative Holz BE, we invite you to the guided tour.
Basements made of wood are more environmentally friendly, can be built faster and offer a more pleasant atmosphere. The first wooden basement in Switzerland was inaugurated and certified as part of an ArchitektTOUR: the wood used comes from Switzerland and stores a total of 222 tons of CO₂.
The school building "Feld" in Richterswil is being topped up and renovated at a cost of 7.6 million Swiss francs. Around four million Swiss francs of this will be invested in the two-storey addition with TS3 technology. This will create an additional 1,542 square meters of space for classrooms, group rooms and a music room.
Seemingly weightless, the new TS3 construction roofs the service and changing buildings of the lido in Brunnen. Together with Dettling Holzbau and steinerARCHITEKTUR TS3 invites to a project tour with aperitif - a good opportunity to get to know the technology.
With careful renovation and a large-scale addition, the venerable cardboard and paper mill in the Bern suburb of Stettlen is being transformed into modern living space and a hub for startups and many creative and bright minds. Armin Schawalder will present the project at the Forum Holzbau in Cologne on October 20.
The BMW15 apartment building in Thun is an innovative showcase project: it stands on the first cellar made of wood in Switzerland, does not require heating and breaks new ground in digital planning. On 1 September, we invite you to a guided tour together with the Initiative Holz BE.
After the summer vacations, around 100 students will take the new school building into use. The timber construction convinces with a generous and flexible room concept - this requires a well thought-out structural concept.
On the «Rosenhügel» above the city of Vienna, living space for 2,300 people is being created on various building sites. Timbatec accompanies the construction site seven as local construction supervisor - here ten residential houses in timber construction are built. Last week the topping-out ceremony took place.
