Special Projects

Yes. Rubner realises individual special structures and architecturally demanding timber constructions – from complex structural systems to challenging building geometries. Wood can be combined with steel, concrete, glass or other building materials to meet design, technical and functional requirements. Each project is developed individually and tailored to the location, use, architecture and client.

Rubner realises individual timber construction projects of various scales – from demanding individual projects to large-volume and logistically complex construction ventures. The production sites in Austria, Italy and France provide the necessary capacity for planning, production, logistics and assembly. This allows even complex timber structures to be realised economically, precisely and on schedule.

Architects should involve Rubner as early as possible in the planning of individual timber construction projects. Early technical coordination is particularly crucial for complex geometries, large spans, hybrid constructions or demanding structural systems. Rubner provides support from concept development through engineering and production to assembly. This allows architectural ideas to be planned with technical precision, economically and in a buildable way.

Rubner realises individual timber structures for various building types, including multi-storey buildings, sports facilities, educational buildings, infrastructure, cultural buildings, shopping centres, commercial buildings and public buildings. What matters is not only the building type, but the individual requirements regarding structural system, architecture, use, location and construction process. The result is tailor-made timber construction projects that are technically and architecturally tailored to each specific project.

Wood is suitable for extraordinary architecture because it combines high load-bearing capacity, low self-weight and great design flexibility. In engineered timber construction, wood can be used to realise complex building forms, large spans and individual structural solutions. In combination with steel, concrete or glass, hybrid constructions are created that unite architectural freedom, technical performance and sustainability.

Wood, concrete and steel each have specific strengths. For individual architecture, wood is particularly suitable when low weight, high prefabrication, design flexibility and a better CO₂ balance are the priority. Concrete and steel can also be appropriate depending on the structural system, span or use. In modern engineered timber construction, materials are frequently combined to realise architecturally demanding and technically efficient special structures.

Individual timber structures are construction projects that are not realised according to a standardised system, but are tailored to the architecture, use, location and technical requirements. These include special structures, complex timber constructions, hybrid structural systems and buildings with particular geometric or functional requirements. In engineered timber construction, these projects are technically planned, prefabricated and precisely assembled.

Engineered timber construction offers high load-bearing capacity, low self-weight, precise prefabrication and great design freedom for special structures. This allows complex geometries, large spans and demanding structural systems to be realised efficiently. In addition, wood supports a more sustainable approach to construction, as the material stores CO₂ and can be combined with other materials to create high-performance hybrid constructions.

Yes. Individual timber structures are frequently planned as hybrid constructions in which wood is combined with steel, concrete, glass or other building materials. This allows load-bearing capacity, fire protection, architecture, facade design and use to be optimally coordinated. Rubner develops such solutions on a project-specific basis, combining timber construction expertise with the demands of modern architecture.

Rubner’s individual timber structures are particularly relevant for architects, clients, project developers, public clients and general contractors. They are suitable for projects in which architecture, structural system, sustainability, construction time and technical implementation are closely interlinked. Particularly for large-volume, public or architecturally demanding construction projects, Rubner offers the necessary experience in planning, production and assembly.

The realisation of an individual timber construction project begins with the technical analysis of the architectural idea. This is followed by engineering, structural planning, detail development, production, logistics and assembly. Rubner coordinates these steps on a project-specific basis so that complex timber structures can be precisely planned, industrially prefabricated and safely assembled on site.

Yes. Individual timber structures are also suitable for public buildings such as schools, sports facilities, cultural buildings, administrative buildings or infrastructure. Particularly in public projects, sustainability, construction time, durability, fire protection and cost-effectiveness play an important role. Engineered timber construction can meet these requirements through precise planning, industrial prefabrication and proven technical solutions.
