Holzbau berühren, begreifen, verstehen

On behalf of the Swiss Society of Engineers and Architects (SIA), CLB Switzerland is opening its doors to selected planners, institutional and public clients as well as experts from the real estate and construction industry. Under the name "Holzbau berühren. Events ", we invite you to visit outstanding multi-storey timber buildings in Switzerland several times a year.

Our aim is to raise awareness of timber construction as one of the key solutions for achieving the climate targets for a CO₂-neutral Switzerland by 2050. The use of wood in construction offers enormous ecological benefits: 1 cubic meter of wood can bind up to 1 tonne of CO₂. By highlighting the benefits of this sustainable construction method, we want to help steer the construction industry towards a more climate-friendly future.

At our events, participants gain access to otherwise inaccessible projects and gain valuable insights into new technologies and approaches. Clients, planners and operators provide fascinating background information on site, while engineers and general contractors are available to answer questions during the tours. Our tours offer the ideal opportunity to find out about the latest developments in timber construction and to be inspired by real projects.

Have we aroused your interest? We would be delighted to meet you in person at one of our next "Holzbau berühren... Events " in person!

If you would like to receive invitations to events directly by e-mail (4 e-mails per year), please register using the form.
