BKI technical article and author reading by Jörg Koppelhuber on the new special volume on timber construction object data

As part of the publication of this special volume, Jörg Koppelhuber has written one of three specialist articles. In the article entitled: “Technical and economic process optimization in timber system construction – prefabrication, standardization, tendering and calculation” Based on the paradigm shift in the construction industry that the author has long been calling for – away from on-site construction and towards prefabricated (timber) system construction – the book presents the development of timber construction to date and explains the planning and execution skills required for the successful implementation of timber construction. The increase in complexity and the expansion of the scope of services in timber construction in recent years play just as important a role as the topic of standardization and prefabrication. The topic of process optimization through and in timber system construction is addressed in clear graphics and timber construction-specific explanations. In addition, solution strategies for today’s construction with wood are presented. The main topic here is standardization in cost planning, tendering and calculation with options and tools specifically for practical implementation in timber construction. Current developments in the construction industry and a tangible presentation of possible cost traps in timber construction in the event of improper use without specific timber construction knowledge round off the specialist article.
