The International Timber Construction Forum (IHF 2025) offers timber builders, planners, engineers and architects the opportunity to report on experiences, work and goals with timber structures and timber constructions. The forum will also give project managers, representatives of building and approval authorities, timber builders and craftsmen, practitioners and trainers the opportunity to inform themselves comprehensively and exchange ideas.
