About this build

What cross-laminated timber actually means.

CLT is made from layers of timber boards glued crosswise into large, immensely strong solid panels. Whole walls, floors and roofs are CNC-cut in the factory and assembled fast on site. The result is a warm, calm, low-carbon structure with excellent acoustics and air quality — timber that stores carbon instead of emitting it.

buildline keeps you independent of any single factory. We translate your idea into a brief, develop the concept around your site and goals, and tender across the CLT producers that fit — then oversee production and assembly through to handover.

FAQ · CLT building

CLT building questions.

How much does a CLT building cost?

As a guide, €1,500–2,500 per m² turnkey, depending on scale, spec and country. We give an exact, tendered price after your brief.

Is timber safe for taller buildings?

Yes — engineered CLT has predictable structural and fire performance and is used worldwide for multi-storey buildings, within local code.

Why choose CLT over concrete or frame?

Lower embodied carbon, faster dry assembly, better acoustics and a warm, healthy interior — with solid, durable structure.

Who builds it?

A vetted CLT producer manufactures and assembles it; buildline stays independent and manages the project for you.
