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.
Timber construction is booming. Through active management and participation in research and development projects, we are part and driver of this development. Together with the Bern University of Applied Sciences, the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts and the DeepWood implementation team, we are continuing to develop the BIM planning method.
On the Plateau de Diesse above the Lake of Biel, a new wooden schoolhouse will soon be built. Chappuis Architectes SA won the architectural competition and is now planning the new building.

Timber construction is booming and the demand for Swiss timber is high. But forest owners fear a collapse of the market because of the current situation. We provide an insight into three projects using regional timber and show how they are affected by the corona virus. Timbatec continues to rely on the natural raw material.
