The 21st century has been proclaimed the era of wooden constructions by leading architects and engineers worldwide, following the dominance of steel in the 19th century and concrete in the 20th century. Engineered wood, as a modern and sustainable material, opens entirely new possibilities in construction, combining strength, aesthetics, and environmental responsibility.
Wooden Construction Technology
Wooden structural elements are produced in accordance with rigorous standards and precisely defined procedures. Using finger joints, we can create continuous boards (known as lamellas), which are then used to manufacture various types of engineered wood products. Layer-glued lamellas (BSH, Glulam) enable the production of beams with significant dimensions and high load-bearing capacity, while in cross-laminated timber (CLT) technology, lamellas are arranged perpendicularly, forming panels with high stiffness and versatile applications. This diversity of products allows our designers to realize both large-scale structures and multi-story constructions.
Modern wooden materials require precision at every stage – from design and production to assembly.
From garden sheds and pergolas to roof trusses, single- and multi-family houses, sports halls, swimming pools, commercial and industrial facilities, and even multi-story residential buildings exceeding 20 floors and 80 meters in height – we undertake projects of varying scales and complexity. Such large-scale endeavors demand certified materials, precise CNC processing, and advanced prefabrication and modular solutions.
At Modulam, we operate based on the highest standards, using only certified materials from trusted and reputable manufacturers. Quality and safety are our top priorities – we do not accept products that fail to meet the required standards. Thanks to advanced CNC machines, we can transform all the product categories listed below into ready-to-assemble components or fully functional structural modules.
