FROM FIRST BRIEF TO A CLT-READY PROJECT

A clear route to the right project team.

CLT Balear reviews the starting point, guides the CLT strategy and connects each project with suitable professionals and suppliers. Services are contracted directly with each specialist.

FOR EVERY PROJECT

The first review should answer four questions.

  1. 01Can the design be developed in CLT?
  2. 02What information is missing for an accurate assessment?
  3. 03What belongs to engineering, manufacture, logistics and assembly?
  4. 04Who is the right specialist to speak with next?

Every conversation begins with a clear starting point—not assumptions.

ForPrivate Clients

From the first idea to a clear, buildable CLT home.We clarify initial feasibility, the information required and the next step. If a local team is missing, we can introduce suitable professionals for you to appoint directly.

ForArchitects

Your architecture remains yours. We help make it buildable in CLT.We review grids, spans, openings and junctions and establish a clear route to engineering, production, logistics and assembly with selected specialists.

ForDevelopers, Investors

Greater cost and programme clarity for better decisions.We structure the scope and information needed to compare engineering, manufacturing, logistics and assembly routes before investment is committed.

From file to site

Six steps from architectural design to a precision-built CLT structure

01

Architectural Design

Architectural Design

Plans, sections, DWG or BIM provide the starting point. The architecture remains yours—we prepare it for CLT.

02

CLT Engineering

CLT Engineering

Panels, connections, openings, penetrations and assembly logic become one coordinated structural system.

03

CNC Production

CNC Production

Walls, floors and roof elements are cut directly from the production model with millimetre-level precision.

04

Delivery

Delivery

Identified elements reach the islands in an assembly sequence that minimises handling and site time.

05

Assembly

Assembly

Walls, floors and roof are rapidly assembled into the three-dimensional structure.

06

Closed Envelope

Closed Envelope

Insulation, waterproofing, façade systems and windows create a protected building ready for services and finishes.

DRAW IT → ENGINEER IT → CUT IT → DELIVER IT → ASSEMBLE IT → CLOSE IT

Why clients choose CLT

More certainty. Less friction.

CLT moves complexity into coordinated digital design and factory production—before the panels reach the site.

01

Speed

As a guide, a typical house structure may be assembled in about 1–2 weeks, followed by roughly 2–4 weeks to insulate and weatherproof the envelope. Timing depends on design, logistics, crew and weather.

02

Precision

Coordinated digital design brings greater precision to dimensions, costs and programme.

03

Freedom

Long spans, expressive cantilevers and fewer visible supports than conventional concrete structures. This creates greater freedom in layouts and spatial architectural solutions.

04

Cleaner site

Less noise, waste, traffic and wet construction on the plot.

FAQ

CLT in the Balearic Islands

What is CLT?+

An engineered structural system made from alternating layers of solid timber. Large wall, floor and roof elements are digitally engineered and factory manufactured.

Can I build a CLT house in Mallorca, Menorca or Ibiza?+

Yes. CLT can be developed across the Balearic Islands within the applicable architectural, structural and planning framework.

Is CLT suitable for contemporary architecture?+

Yes. CLT is a structural system, not a style. It supports contemporary Mediterranean architecture, large openings, open plans and hybrid solutions.

How fast can a CLT structure be built?+

Pre-manufacturing makes assembly dramatically faster than conventional structural construction. The exact programme depends on complexity, logistics and site conditions.

How accurate is CLT construction?+

CNC production from coordinated digital information allows openings, connections and details to be prepared with very high factory precision.

Can my architect design while you handle the CLT system?+

Yes. Your architect retains authorship. We help review CLT feasibility and connect the project with suitable specialists.

When should an architect contact CLT Balear?+

Ideally during concept or early technical design. Existing projects can also be reviewed for conversion or optimisation.

Can you quote from architectural drawings?+

We can identify what information is missing before a selected specialist or manufacturer prepares a reliable proposal. Send plans, sections, elevations and structural information.

Is CLT more expensive than conventional construction?+

The useful comparison is total delivered cost and programme—not the structure alone. CLT may reduce site time, labour, weight and wet trades.

Can CLT be used for extensions or additional floors?+

Yes. Its low relative weight can be especially useful for extensions and added storeys, subject to an engineer’s assessment.

Who manufactures the CLT?+

We are independent from any single manufacturer and guide selection by engineering, price, capacity, logistics and schedule.

What is the role of CLT Balear?+

We review the starting point, guide the CLT strategy and connect the project with suitable professionals and suppliers. The client contracts directly with each specialist; CLT Balear does not act as the general contractor.
