"In public as well as in politics, the many positive characteristics of the construction material wood are increasingly becoming known," Peter Aicher, chairman of Holzbau Deutschland and spokesman of the Holzbau Deutschland service partners, was delighted to report. "These are very good preconditions for the timber construction sector to keep on thriving." Matthias Krauss, spokesperson on industry of the Holzbau Deutschland service partners assured that existing projects will be continued and the carpentry craft as well as timber construction companies with projects in the sectors marketing, education, research and development will be supported.

Besides the carpenters' national team, the information portal "Holz kann" (wood is able) receives support. The online portal is used to present new timber construction projects as well as information on the construction material wood and expert advice on planning and funding for timber construction projects. With the master carpenter search launched in the fall, interested parties can find competent carpentries both nationally and regionally.
