Offsite construction with wood elements speeds up building

Metsä Board Oyj is promoting the use of prefabricated wood elements in the construction industry. According to the company, industrially produced, standardized, and mass-customized elements improve construction efficiency and quality. Controlled factory conditions ensure consistent quality and reduce weather-related delays.

The method allows for quick installation of elements on-site, shortening overall project schedules. Metsä Board's Kerto LVL (laminated veneer lumber) products make construction fast, lightweight, and green. Wood products store carbon throughout their lifecycle, and Kerto LVL is a resource-efficient material.

Offsite construction transforms building into an industrial business. The same factory-manufactured element design can be reused in different projects. Through mass customization, standardized elements can be combined into unique buildings.

Metsä Wood aims to create an ecosystem for industrial wood construction based on its Kerto LVL products by forming long-term partnerships. Wood construction has been growing in popularity globally, particularly in residential building, due to industrial modularity and prefabrication.
