Thirty years of building with wood Sweden has a long tradition of building in wood. Today’s tall wooden buildings, often higher than two stories, are based on completely different technical solutions to the ones used historically. Modern wood construction is rooted in extensive international and national research and development – not on a single national tradition. It began simultaneously across Europe, as the rule change was part of an EU directive. Modern wood construction is also characterized by a high level of industrial prefabrication and short construction times, while modern IT is widely used in the planning and production process. Altogether, these factors entail a very different process from concept to completion, to the one used in the traditional construction industry. A whole host of factors determine the value of a building. It must be fit for purpose, sustainable and attractive. It should be eco-friendly and able to be erected and managed at a reasonable cost. Five different organizations have now been interviewed about their experiences and about the property management. All the interviewees are very positive to build, use and manage wooden buildings. Experience they have gathered by themselves and in cooperation with others give them the confidence to keep building with wood. They can meet every present and predicted demand by customers and governmental rule or regulation. The setbacks are few and easy to solve and interviewees can’t find any reason to not build in wood.
