MULTI-STOREY
TIMBER CONSTRUCTION
For some years now, pioneering innovations in timber construction have made it possible to build higher and higher with timber. Timber construction shows its strengths in an urban context in particular. In addition to short construction times, multi-storey timber construction is a resource-saving, future-proof and economical construction method.
Conserving resources and future-proof upwards.
Optimized TIMBER
CONSTRUCTION
It is no coincidence that multi-storey timber construction is now one of the largest segments of international timber construction. Architects, project developers, investors and private and public clients appreciate the advantages of this modern construction method. However, the targeted, resource-saving use of timber must not be ignored.
The earlier we, as timber construction specialists, are involved in the planning of construction projects, the better we can develop tailor-made solutions together with the project participants to optimize resources and increase economic efficiency. We advise on sustainability and material selection, thus creating transparency and cost certainty for further project development.
We are specialized in
- Multi-storey office buildings
- Mixed-use building
- Timber and timber hybrid constructions
- Mid-rise buildings and high-rise buildings in wood
ADVANTAGES
Of timber construction
The high degree of prefabrication significantly shortens construction times and allows buildings to be occupied earlier. At the same time, noise and dust levels on the construction site are reduced compared to conventional construction – both for new builds and for revitalization or redensification.
The lower weight of timber constructions allows for cost savings when laying foundations. Additions to storeys as part of urban redensification and conversions also benefit from these properties and can be optimally realized with wood.
Advantages at a glance
- High degree of prefabrication enables fast assembly
- Reduced noise and dust pollution on the construction site
- Savings potential for foundations due to the lower weight
- Optimized indoor climate for end users
- High fire protection regulations are complied with

How we work
We develop customized timber construction solutions and, if required, manage projects holistically from start to finish. From the initial consultation, through timber construction planning and component production, to assembly on the construction site. Everything from a single source.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How tall can you build with wood?
Modern timber engineering methods, especially in the hybrid construction segment such as timber-concrete composite (TCC), make it easy to construct buildings with ten, fifteen or more storeys. In some countries, there are already timber buildings with over 20 storeys, and concepts for significantly higher timber high-rises exist worldwide. The feasibility of such construction projects varies greatly in some cases and depends on the local building regulations and legal framework in the respective countries.
Why is wood suitable for multi-storey construction?
Wood is a renewable, lightweight and at the same time highly resilient building material. Modern timber construction methods enable a high load-bearing capacity, excellent thermal insulation and rapid construction thanks to a high degree of prefabrication. In addition, lower dust and noise pollution compared to conventional construction methods speaks in favor of building with wood in an urban context.
What building typologies does HESS TIMBER specialize in for multi-storey timber construction?
We support our partners and customers in all conceivable timber construction projects. In particular, we specialize in the following areas: multi-storey office buildings, mixed-use buildings, timber and timber hybrid constructions, mid-rise buildings and timber high-rise buildings.
Why is assembly in multi-storey timber construction particularly fast?
The high degree of prefabrication of the timber elements enables quick and efficient assembly on the construction site. This can significantly shorten construction times and reduce costs.
How does a typical project with HESS TIMBER work?
We pursue the philosophy of a holistic approach. This is reflected in our service portfolio, which gives us the opportunity to support our customers with their timber construction projects from start (initial consultation and planning during the early service phases) to finish (production and assembly).
