Timber framing, the most widely used technique
According to France Bois Forêt, the national inter-professional association for the forest-wood sector, wood framing is the most widespread wood construction technique in France, all sectors combined. It represents 85% of the construction of individual houses, 63% of collective housing and 67% of tertiary buildings. But its share is gradually decreasing in collective housing and tertiary buildings in favor of the post-beam technique (consisting of creating the wooden skeleton of the dwelling, then dressing it with wooden panels, large bay windows, etc.) .
