A commitment to the advancement of timber construction.This appointment reinforces PORTILAME\u2019s commitment to actively contributing to the development of the sector<\/strong>, promoting:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

\u2022 Industrialization and innovation in timber construction systems;\u2022 Best practices and technical qualification across design, production, and assembly;\u2022 Sector-wide collaboration between companies, technical entities, and decision-makers;\u2022 Sustainability and decarbonization, accelerating the transition toward more efficient construction models.Over the past few years, PORTILAME has steadily consolidated its position as a leading player<\/strong> in timber construction in Portugal, with continued investment in industrial capacity and in the development of increasingly robust and scalable structural solutions and systems. <\/p>\n\n

Why Wood Is Increasingly Becoming a Reality in Portugal<\/strong>Timber construction, particularly through industrialized solutions, is gaining momentum as it addresses very concrete market challenges:<\/p>\n\n

1) Speed and Predictability<\/strong>Prefabrication and optimized on-site assembly make it possible to shorten timelines<\/strong>, minimize unforeseen issues, and increase planning reliability.<\/p>\n\n

2) Lower Carbon Footprint<\/strong>When sourced and integrated through responsible supply chains, timber helps reduce emissions<\/strong> and supports decarbonization targets within the construction sector.<\/p>\n\n

3) Performance and Comfort<\/strong>Modern timber solutions deliver high levels of thermal and acoustic performance<\/strong>, ensuring comfort and energy efficiency.<\/p>\n\n

4) Industrial Quality<\/strong>Industrialized processes enhance quality, repeatability, and component control<\/strong>, while also improving working conditions and safety.<\/p>\n\n

An Increased Responsibility and an Opportunity<\/strong>PORTILAME views its participation in the Governing Bodies of AIMMP as an opportunity to represent the sector with vision,<\/strong> helping to accelerate the adoption of timber solutions, raise technical standards, and create the conditions for Portugal to keep pace with the transformation already taking place in other markets.\u201cTimber construction is no longer a trend; it has become the way forward. We want to contribute to that path through innovation, industrial quality, and sector-wide cooperation.\u201d<\/em>\u2014 David Sim\u00e3o, CEO of PORTILAME<\/p>\n\n
