TIMBER CONSTRUCTION
Timber construction is an old and independent specialist field that distinguishes itself from other areas of construction with its specific techniques and materials. Since the beginning of the 19th century, the possibilities have been continuously developed.
Today, there are almost no limits to building with wood. The field of timber construction includes various technologies such as log construction, frame construction, post and beam construction, skeleton construction as well as newer techniques such as timber panel construction or board stack elements, which are mainly used for the construction of residential buildings and farm buildings, etc. The aim of our company is to be able to offer a wide range of timber construction services.
From pretty chalets to different variants in timber house construction as well as Minergie buildings, static construction projects, public and commercial buildings through to the versatile area of agriculture. And all this at a fair price/performance ratio and in the best possible quality.

Sawmill
In addition to the timber construction business, our company also has its own log band sawmill. It has been part of the business since Hans Moor founded it in 1952 and was considered a secure income at the time, thanks in part to the nearby and central catchment area.
The location of the sawmill was practical, as the freshly cut logs from the surrounding areas could be brought directly to the sawmill with very little transportation. Some of it was also used for the carpentry shop's own consumption. In 2000, the entire sawmill was renovated for reasons of age and a new, digitally controlled Artiglio log carriage was installed. Since then, logs up to 18 meters long and 1 meter thick can be sawn. Around 200 - 400 m³ of logs are processed into sawn timber each year.
Today, we mainly saw timber for customers from companies or farmers. However, we also purchase fresh logs for our own use each year, depending on demand, which serves to balance the workload during the winter months. The advantage of the log band saw unit is that we can obtain different sawn products from each individual log and are therefore also able to process individual cuts, trimmings, sawn veneers or special workpieces (e.g. for log builders).
