Wood Construction Technology Center
(Centrum Budownictwa Drewnianego)

Is a privately owned company and its goal is to promote wood frame construction in Poland.

CBD has been active since 1996 r. At first the company focused on promotion and introduction of light wood frame construction, the so called "canadian system". Today we are involved in the promotion of all type of construction technologies where wood is used.

In the years 1996-2001 CBS published its own magazine "Light Frame Construction", and additionally in the years 1998-2001 a "Frame Construction Catalogue", which as of 2002 was transformed into a "Wood Construction Catalogue" and is still published.
