It is well known that passive building (energy neutral) is the easiest to achieve by building in and with wood. That is why timber frame construction is the answer to passive building in the Netherlands. Maybe not very popular in the Netherlands (yet) but all the more so in our surrounding countries. As a specialist, we have been able to deliver various renowned projects in timber frame construction. In stock are own sawn pine in extra heavy dimensions for the constructions of restoration projects and western red cedar for facades, originating from the primeval land of wood construction: Canada.
