No denying their beauty and warmth. I'd love to see phone footage and not pretty marketing material.

Would be curious to understand how these prefab buildings behave acoustically, especially so in school settings where codes dictate minimum sound isolation requirements!

I’m building a house from clt next year. Been to see a few builds already. It’s the future !!

Regardless of type of construction, it’s strange to not see fire sprinklers in a school. It’s like time travel to the 1960’s or early 1970’s.

Fire is all I see. Lots and lots of fire.

[annegeorge]

What fire protection is used?.. how are the termites prevented?. What about when it rains?

[magnetronicmusic]

But what about hempcrete, strawbale and other real ECO technologies? Wood is good from your point of view - western rich country, which cut trees in Eastern Europe to build your super houses. I live near great forest complex and in my entire life have never seen so many acres cut down, and I know that most of wood is sold to the West. Stora Enso - you're not fighting against cilimate changes AT ALL. It's just next nice green advertisment.

Dude what about fire, rainfall, bacteria and safety . Please explain me

Everything is fine until you let an army of bored and frustrated teenagers with access to lighters into a wooden building.
I used to go into a school made from concrete, steel walls and plastic chairs and tables. Only the concrete was safe.
I predict burned wall art will be a thing in those schools.

This is a disappointing advertisement, from a channel where I'd like to see a deeper, critical look. We badly need pre-fab, EnergieSprong, etc and wood construction is a great fit with our natural resources in N America among other places. Talk to some market experts about why or why it won't happen. That kind of thing.
