Wood Construction

Wood construction is experiencing an unprecedented boom in recent years. Its use had fallen considerably since the advent of concrete, especially in Europe. But the emergence of new techniques, the development of industrial wood and concern for the environment are making wood construction a real alternative.

At REBUILD we have prepared a specific Wood Construction agenda for you to discover the advantages and disadvantages of this millenary material.

At the Congress of Advanced Architecture and 4.0 Construction, this commitment was reflected through a dedicated program that brought together leading experts, architects, engineering firms, developers, manufacturers, and forestry organizations.

One of the most prominent gatherings was the Sounds Wood Meeting, where representatives from companies such as Treehood, Grupo Siero, and the Building Cluster discussed the potential of timber as a backbone of the new construction model.

Renowned architect Andrew Waugh (Waugh Thistleton Architects), a global pioneer in tall timber buildings using CLT, shared his vision alongside representatives from Woodea on timber construction systems and their urban, social, and environmental impact.

The session “Do We Have Enough Wood to Build?” brought together key figures from Fundación Gómez-Pintado, PEFC Spain, FSC Spain, and Unemadera to address the growing challenge of timber supply. Topics included sustainable forest management, public policy, supply chain obstacles, and technological innovations for optimizing the use of forest resources.

In the roundtable “Building with Wood: The Industrialized Revolution,” companies like 011h, Tallfusta, and Egoin Group presented real-world cases that showcased how technologies such as BIM and digital manufacturing are reshaping the design, production, and assembly of timber structures with high levels of efficiency, traceability, and quality.

With this focus, REBUILD positions itself as the essential meeting point for all professionals driving the transition toward a more responsible built environment—where timber is not just a material of the past, but the foundation of a new construction era.
