Wood construction

Wood is one of the most diverse and sustainable construction materials available.
With modern mass timber structures, it is possible to create architecturally striking and high-performance buildings.

SRV has delivered numerous demanding wood construction projects in Finland, including offices, residential buildings, learning environments and even an arena.

As a renewable and recyclable material, wood naturally stores carbon, helping to significantly reduce a building’s carbon footprint.
Wood buildings act as long-term carbon sinks, locking in the carbon absorbed during growth, while all materials are sourced from responsibly managed forests.

Wood at the core of our lifecycle-wise strategy

Increasing the use of wood is a key part of SRV’s lifecycle-wise approach to construction.
Wood enables low-emission, resource-efficient solutions and contributes to the circular economy.

Mass timber can be used for a building’s load-bearing structures or as a feature material in façades and interiors.
Choosing wood for a building’s main frame can reduce its carbon footprint dramatically compared to concrete.
Throughout its life, the structure acts as a carbon store and can be reused or recycled at the end of its lifecycle.

By combining wood structures with renewable energy sources, it is even possible to achieve a positive carbon handprint.

Expert in demanding wood projects

SRV has extensive experience in complex wood construction — from commercial buildings and homes to schools and public spaces.
One of our flagship projects, Wood City in Helsinki’s Jätkäsaari district, showcases Finnish wood construction at an international level and demonstrates how timber can be used in diverse and creative ways.

Whether your goal is a fully wooden office building or the visible use of wood as a design element, SRV delivers high-quality results with technical precision and proven expertise.

Wood enhances wellbeing

Building with wood benefits not only the environment but also people. Wood structures contribute to wellbeing by creating natural, calming and inspiring spaces that support both comfort and concentration.

A modern wooden workplace is also a statement of sustainability, strengthening an organisation’s employer image and environmental commitment.

Each wood construction project is designed in close collaboration with the client to meet even the most demanding needs.
We take into account flexible working environments, sustainable design principles and the wellbeing of building users throughout the process.
