LiWooD AG, founded in 2009 in Munich, Germany, specializes in modular timber construction for multi-story buildings. The company emerged from a vision to transform the construction industry through sustainable building practices, positioning itself at the intersection of architecture, civil engineering, and timber construction expertise.
The organization operates through an innovative field factory system, where building modules are assembled near construction sites and transported just-in-time for installation. This approach enables the production of up to ten modules daily, reducing construction time by up to 60 percent compared to conventional methods. Each module measures 7.50 meters in length with varying widths, and comes pre-equipped with installations, windows, and even complete bathrooms before arriving on site.
LiWooD's portfolio spans diverse building types. Between 2013 and 2024, the company completed student residences in Heidelberg, Trier, and Dingolfing, as well as school buildings including Campus di Monaco Montessori School and an interim facility in Neubiberg. A notable project involved creating 101 subsidized apartments across eight point houses in Munich's Ramersdorf and Hasenbergl districts, housing approximately 270 residents. The company also specializes in vertical extensions, adding stories to existing buildings in Frankfurt's Platensiedlung and Fritz-Kissel-Siedlung developments.
The business model emphasizes circular economy principles, with buildings designed for eventual deconstruction and 75 percent material reusability. LiWooD manufactures its own components and employs approximately 58 people. Current projects include an infill development in Hamburg, demonstrating the company's continued expansion beyond its Munich base.
