Wood & Build

What Wood & Build does

Wood & Build BV is a Belgian family-owned construction company founded in 2015 and headquartered in Middelkerke, Belgium. It is the sole official Benelux license holder for SWISS KRONO MAGNUMBOARD®, a proprietary mass timber construction system, and operates as a producer-installer of custom solid timber buildings for both private individuals (Particulieren) and professionals (architects, contractors, developers — Professionelen) across the Benelux and northern France. Since founding, the company has completed more than 200 projects spanning single-family homes, multi-family residences, apartment complexes (up to 5 storeys), additions, and rooftop extensions.

The core product, MAGNUMBOARD®, is a solid timber panel system in which multiple layers of technical wood (wood fibres mixed with resin and a formaldehyde-free binder) are laminated under 10,000 kg/m² of pressure using a solvent-free two-component PU adhesive, then CNC-machined in-house to produce walls, vaults, roofs, dormers, and stairs. Differentiating technical features include pre-milled vertical channels for electrical and sanitary services integrated into the wall panels (eliminating chasing), density 35% higher than CLT (620 kg/m³), fire resistance EI 30 to EI 90+, thermal conductivity λ = 0.13 W/mK, air-tightness of 0.12 m³/hm², and a CO2-negative profile (each building removes 65–85 tonnes of CO2). Production follows a documented 6-step process from BIM-based 3D planning through CNC milling to on-site assembly in 2–3 days.

The business operates on a project-based, custom-quote revenue model with all revenue derived from one-time construction projects rather than recurring fees. Wood & Build manages the full value chain from design through installation, working both directly with end customers and through a small channel partner network — Van Houtven in West and East Flanders and Bouwbedrijf MM in Zeeland — that delivers full turnkey finishing alongside Wood & Build's raw timber shell. Commercial motion is sales-led, supported by content marketing, a multi-language social presence (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube @magnumboard), brochure/newsletter capture, and trade show appearances (Batibouw 2026, DACH+HOLZ 2026). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is set project-by-project.

Product overview

Wood & Build is a Belgian construction company and the official Benelux licence-holder for SWISS KRONO MAGNUMBOARD®, a solid-wood (houtmassiefbouw) prefabricated building system. Its offering centres on MAGNUMBOARD® — multi-layer panels of compressed technical wood that are laminated under high pressure (10,000 kg/m²) and CNC-machined in-house to produce walls, vaults/roofs, and stairs — assembled on-site in 2–3 days. The core product is complemented by a 6-step building process (quotation → 3D planning → production → assembly → finishing → handover) and partnered finishing services.

Products and services

• MAGNUMBOARD® Solid Timber Construction System A mass timber construction system composed of multi-layer technical wood panels laminated under 10,000 kg/m² pressure using solvent-free PU adhesive. Panels are CNC-machined to produce walls, vaults, roofs, dormers, and stairs. Walls are 75–100 mm thick solid panels with integrated vertical channels for electrical and sanitary services. Used for custom residential and multi-family buildings up to 5 storeys. Sold to private individuals building homes and to professionals developing multi-family projects in the Benelux.
• MAGNUMBOARD® Walls (Wanden) Structural wall panels in 75 mm standard or 100 mm high-load-bearing thickness, with pre-milled vertical channels for electrical and sanitary services. Suitable for buildings up to 5 storeys. Internal walls are finishable directly with spray plaster (1 mm coat); exterior walls accept PUR panels, mineral wool, crepi, or brick cladding.
• MAGNUMBOARD® Vaults / Floors (Gewelven) Floor and ceiling vault panels made from laminated technical wood. Thickness is engineered based on span length and load requirements. Function as structural floors/ceilings and serve as finished ceilings in standard-height configurations without a suspended ceiling.
• MAGNUMBOARD® Custom Stairs (Trappen) Custom-made solid technical-wood stairs produced in the workshop to enable safe site access during the rough-construction phase, then finished with wood, poured flooring, or other materials by the client.
• 6-Step Building Process (6-staps Bouwproces) End-to-end project delivery service with six defined stages: (1) introduction and quotation, (2) 3D BIM-based production planning with CNC instructions, (3) in-house panel production, (4) on-site assembly in 2–3 days, (5) finishing by client or construction partners, (6) handover. Covers all aspects of design, engineering, manufacturing, and on-site installation.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Stora Enso: Finnish-Swedig forestry giant and Europe's largest CLT producer (Sylva™ / CLT by Stora Enso), serving residential and commercial mass timber projects globally. Overlaps with Wood & Build in mass timber building systems but operates at vastly greater scale with diversified product portfolio.
• WeberHaus: German prefab timber home manufacturer with broad residential offerings across Europe. Comparable as a prefabricated timber building specialist, but with a much broader product portfolio and significantly larger scale than Wood & Build's niche mass timber focus.

Direct peers

• KLH Massivholz: Austrian manufacturer of CLT (KLH® cross-laminated timber panels) used in residential, multi-family, and commercial construction. Directly comparable technology and application focus to MAGNUMBOARD®, competing in the European mass timber panel market.
• Hasslacher Norica Timber: Austrian sawmill and engineered wood producer manufacturing CLT, glulam, and structural timber for residential and commercial buildings. Directly comparable as a European mass timber panel and building component supplier.
• Derix Group: German timber engineering company specializing in glulam and solid wood construction for residential and commercial buildings. Comparable as a mass timber engineering specialist serving similar building typologies in nearby geography.
• Eugen Decker: German manufacturer of CLT and solid timber construction elements for residential, multi-family, and commercial buildings. Directly comparable technology stack and customer segment as a European mass timber panel supplier.
• Thoma Holz: Austrian specialist in solid wood (mass timber) construction, producing thick-walled solid timber homes using a proprietary system comparable in concept to MAGNUMBOARD®. Targets the same custom residential and multi-family mass timber segment.
• Binderholz: Austria's largest mass timber manufacturer, producing CLT, glulam, and solid wood construction elements for residential and commercial buildings across Europe. Direct competitor to Wood & Build in the mass timber construction category, but at significantly larger scale.

Emerging players

• Cygnum: Irish timber frame and mass timber construction specialist serving residential and commercial projects primarily in the UK and Ireland. Comparable business model of prefabricated timber building delivery, though typically timber frame rather than solid mass timber panels.

Others

• SWISS KRONO: German manufacturer of engineered wood products and the original developer/producer of MAGNUMBOARD® panels. Functions as Wood & Build's upstream technology licensor and panel supplier — comparability stems from the shared MAGNUMBOARD® technology platform rather than direct competition.
