“An innovative idea that combines the advantages of robotics and timber construction,” said Udo Cordts-Sanzenbacher, Managing Director of BNP Paribas Real Estate, in an online article about TRIQ GmbH’s sustainable solid wood construction system.
Since last week the sustainable timber construction system TRIQBRIQ of the Stuttgart-based company TRIQ is officially part of the network of the International Building Exhibition 2027 City Region Stuttgart. The timber construction system is a patented solid wood building system that can be assembled without environmentally harmful composite materials. The standardized wood building blocks, made from low-cost weak and damaged wood, are fully recyclable. Therefore, promoting sustainability criteria in shell construction such as CO2 binding, energy-saving, recycling, and indoor climate. Quick planning and easy assembly make the wood system cost-efficient and fast to implement. The first prototype of TRIQBRIQ is already in place and three construction projects are being planned.The TRIQBRIQ construction system thus meets the objectives of IBA’27, particularly in terms of achieving climate targets in the construction sector and the sustainable life cycle of buildings.

“City of Tree Houses”: Berlin is planning the largest timber construction quarter in the world – TRIQBRIQ is being discussed as a potential building material. The city of the future is being built in the middle of Berlin on the site of the old Berlin-Tegel Airport. On 500 hectares – in addition to a research and industrial park and a large landscape area – more than 5000 apartments are planned, all sustainable, innovative, and social. According to the managing director of Tegel Projekt GmbH, Prof. Dr. Philipp Bouteiller, the fact that the project “relies on wood and the circular economy” makes it a special one. In plain language, this means that the wood is built in such a way that it can be reused after deconstruction. This creates efficient and sustainable material cycles that ensure a considerable saving of building materials. In order to fully exploit the potential of various timber construction methods in the planned Schuhmacher Quartier, Tegel Projekt GmbH has developed the idea of a “Bauhütte 4.0” (Construction Hut 4.0), where research, testing, and prefabrication will take place right next to the planned timber construction quarter. The aim – following the basic idea of the Bauhaus movement – is to bring together clever, experienced, and creative minds to scale timber construction to an industrial level and make it 20 to 25 percent more cost-effective than conventional construction from as early as the 2nd construction phase. The project will act as a “catalyst for further thinking in the future,” says Raoul Bunschoten, professor of urban planning at TU Berlin. © Tegel Projekt GmbH, rendertaxi © Tegel Projekt GmbH, rendertaxi © Tegel Projekt GmbH, Macina The future-oriented developments on the former airport site are attracting a great deal of attention. According to Tegel Projekt GmbH, more than a hundred timber construction companies have already expressed interest in working on the project. One of these companies is TRIQBRIQ. TRIQBRIQ is perfect for the project Our TRIQBRIQ timber construction system could help turn the ambitious goals of the Schumacher Quartier into reality. It is therefore hardly surprising that the Berliner Zeitung newspaper singled us out in its report as a prominent example of forward-looking timber construction systems. We focus significantly on sustainability in our construction method. We make it possible to use damaged and weak wood in a climate-friendly way in the large-scale multi-story shell construction. © Tegel Projekt GmbH, rendertaxi The TRIQBRIQ production machine that we have specially developed also makes it possible to connect seamlessly to the local forestry industry. And would also be able to ensure a regional and climate-friendly material supply to the construction site at Tegel. We are therefore very pleased with the exchange we have had so far with those responsible at Tegel Projekt GmbH and hope that we will soon be able to play an active role in shaping sustainable construction in Tegel.

Presentation of the TRIQBRIQ solid wood construction system and exchange about general building policy conditions. Last Tuesday, TRIQ GmbH was invited as a digital guest in the German Bundestag. Max Wörner, founder and CEO of TRIQ GmbH as well as Lewin Fricke, head of public relations were invited to present their holistic sustainable housing concept to the CDU/CSU parliamentary group in the Parliamentary Advisory Council for Sustainable Development (PBnE). The core element of the concept is the specially developed TRIQBRIQ wood construction system. The system allows the use of damaged and storm wood as a building material and thus is a very climate-friendly building material. TRIQBRIQ campaigns for sustainable building in the Bundestag This was followed by a discussion on the general regulations that are currently making sustainable building even more difficult. TRIQ GmbH requests that the Building Energy Act (GEG), which recently came into force, should be adjusted, particularly in regard to the life cycle analyzes of buildings. The energy consumed and the emissions emitted (gray energy / gray emissions) in the manufacture of building materials and buildings must be taken into account in the legislation. Above all, it is impossible to understand why concrete and cement are still politically considered harmless building materials. After all, the production of cement alone accounts for around 6-8 % of global CO2 emissions. In comparison, the TRIQBRIQ construction system binds CO2 and thus makes an active contribution to climate protection, added Wörner. The parliamentarians noted that the GEG has to take the construction phase of buildings into account. Kai Whittaker, a member of the Bundestag and chairman of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group in the PBnE, moderated the digital session. He suggested that named aspects should also be transferred to the municipal level to further promote sustainability in the construction sector, for example in the form of pilot projects. About TRIQ GmbH TRIQ GmbH stands for holistic and sustainable building and living. It is the company’s goal to literally unite ecology, economy, and socio-culture under one roof. Therefore, TRIQ GmbH relies 100 % on recyclable materials in the construction of its buildings and consistently does without concrete and cement. The core element of this construction method is the specially developed and patented timber construction system TRIQBRIQ. This system makes it possible to use damaged and storm wood as a building material and thus is a climate-friendly material. In combination with electricity from photovoltaic systems and innovative hydrogen technology, energy self-sufficient and climate-neutral buildings are created. Following the construction process, TRIQ GmbH establishes living concepts that use a circular economy and digital monitoring to support residents in living more sustainably and in a more environmentally friendly way.
