We had the pleasure of presenting the results of our research project Sys.Wood – System Optimization in Austrian Timber Construction at the grand final symposium in the Kuppelsaal of the TU Wien.

At the core of the project was one key question:
How can we make highly prefabricated timber construction more efficient and competitive, especially for and together with SMEs?

Our key outcomes:

Process optimization – Definition of 7 structured checkpoints (CP1–CP7) for smoother planning and production workflows
Digital interfaces – Clear specification of information requirements (LOIN) to improve data exchange
Human collaboration – Strategies for early integration of timber construction expertise into planning processes

A special highlight: the presentation of our new practical action guideline, which will soon be available as a hands-on tool for planners and contractors.

A big thank you to the entire IGCE team, our partners at Technische Universität Graz, Technische Universität Wien, FH Joanneum, Holzcluster Steiermark GmbH, and all industry collaborators for the outstanding cooperation.

This project once again proves:
The future of construction is digital, sustainable, and collaborative.
