Honkarakenne shifts focus toward large-scale CLT public construction
Log construction company Honkarakenne is positioning its cross-laminated timber (CLT) solutions for large-scale public and commercial projects.
Honkarakenne Oyj is expanding its market approach by emphasizing the application of cross-laminated timber (CLT) in large-scale public construction. While historically associated with private housing, the firm reports that the structural versatility of CLT allows it to scale for larger developments, including holiday resorts and residential districts.
Operating since 1958, the company is intensifying its B2B outreach to architects and developers. By advocating for wood in multi-story and public projects, Honkarakenne aims to capture a larger share of the professional construction market, which is increasingly adopting wood as a carbon-efficient alternative to concrete and steel.
Recent corporate activities for the company include the construction of large log hotels in Lapland and strategic international partnerships. These moves highlight the company's efforts to diversify its project portfolio beyond residential work and into higher-capacity infrastructure.
