New expertise for multi-storey timber construction: Become a "Biberacher Holzbau-Konstrukteur" now!

18 Aug 2025

Timber construction is booming – especially in multi-storey buildings. More and more projects are focusing on sustainable and innovative construction methods using timber. This also increases the demands on planning, coordination and implementation. The multi-storey residential construction sector in particular requires specialised professionals who are proficient in the complex processes involved. This is exactly where the part-time seminar "Biberacher Holzbau-Konstrukteur" (Biberach Timber Construction Designer) comes in.

In cooperation with the Biberach University of Applied Sciences (Wood Construction Project Management programme), the seminar provides future-oriented knowledge for experienced designers, master carpenters, construction technicians and civil engineers. It is aimed specifically at practitioners who have mainly designed single-family homes and now want to move into multi-storey timber construction.

The designer as a key player

The timber construction designer plays a central role in the planning process – they are the link between planning, technology and implementation. Early involvement and a comprehensive understanding of building physics, legal and technical requirements are therefore crucial. Seminar participants can expect in-depth content covering:

  • Organisation and working methods in modern timber construction
  • Digital data exchange and CAD skills
  • Sound and fire protection
  • Integration of building services
  • Elementation, prefabrication, logistics and assembly

The course concludes with a practical project, which is presented in a final presentation.

Register now – and get started with funding!

The seminar will take place on six dates (two days each) between October 2025 and May 2026. Participants from Baden-Württemberg can receive up to 70% of the seminar fees from ESF funds – a worthwhile step towards further professional development.
