01 — Industrialization
Mass timber, BTC and prefabrication for urban and rural contexts.
Madebloque · Developer and neo-builder
Timber construction, integrated from start to finish.
We want to show that building in timber is good business when done right: it addresses construction productivity, industry decarbonization plans and the net-zero building goals of governments.
Services ProjectsThe system
Three pillars to build with less uncertainty.
02 — Digital platform
BIM + Odoo: a single source of truth from design to site.
03 — Territory
Local workshop, training and on-site presence.
Purpose
Building for people, communities and the environment.
A comfortable and durable wood building improves quality of life and local economies when there is method and presence in the territory.
Let's talk about the project

Mass Timber Simulator
Explore the technical viability, environmental impact and financial return of your project.
Net Carbon
-216 t
Stored carbon in the timber structure. Equivalent to taking 48 vehicles off the road for a year.
Assembly Timeframe
195 days
Savings of 105 days of construction (35% faster) compared to concrete, accelerating returns.
Financial Return
+11.2%
Higher asset value. Accelerated pre-sales driven by green differentiation and biophilia in the premium market.
How we read these numbers
This simulator does not quote a project: it orders magnitudes. It compares mass timber (CLT) with conventional concrete using industry averages. It is for conversation; the construction calculation is done by the technical team.
1. Net carbon
Wood grew by capturing CO₂. When used in the structure, that carbon stays stored in the building. Concrete, by contrast, emits when it is manufactured. That is why a negative number here is a good sign: the building stores more than it emits in materials.
In numbers: mass timber ≈ −180 kg CO₂-eq/m²; concrete/steel ≈ +350 kg CO₂-eq/m². The car equivalency follows the EPA (≈ 4.6 t CO₂/year per vehicle).
Sources: IStructE (How to calculate embodied carbon); CCCS (Colombia LCA baseline); EPD / DAP Arauco Hilam (CLT and Glulam).
2. Assembly timeframe
With concrete, the structure waits for curing. With mass timber, panels arrive finished from the shop and are dry-assembled. Fewer days on site usually means less interest cost and earlier delivery.
In numbers: concrete ≈ 0.25 days/m² of structural phase; CLT ≈ 65% of that schedule (about 35% faster).
Sources: WoodWorks (design and cost checklist; cases 30–45% faster on the structural path); Lean Construction Institute.
3. Returns and social housing (VIS)
Going faster improves cash flow: less construction debt and earlier sales. In social housing (VIS), the simulator reports parity: the timber premium is offset by less crane time, less waste, and a lighter foundation.
In numbers: residential/commercial ≈ +10% to +15% relative return (scales with area: 10 + m²/1000). For VIS: cost parity.
