“…Following the trends of energy efficiency of buildings, there is an effort in the construction industry to minimize the environmental impacts of buildings (Sedlák et al 2019). This trend is also confirmed by De Araujo et al (2019. Mitterpach et al (2020) consider as the main benefits of wood-based structures the local material availability, its low cost, rapid construction, simple processing, and a wide range of structural possibilities.…”

Housing is one of the basic needs of every person. Most people usually encounter the problems of the availability of financial resources and real construction costs. The objective of this paper is to present customer preferences for the construction of family houses in Slovakia with the assessment of possible perception disproportions regarding economic characteristics in the context of interest and reality. A specific part of this paper includes the presentation of interest in the construction of wood-based houses. The questionnaire survey show that, in the target group (respondents aged 26 to 50 years), significant dependencies were found between the monitored traits and the amount of planned investment. For each dependence, possible disproportions were also revealed, which could lead to an overall threat of the plans for the construction of a family house. The disproportions, which were associated with 25 to 30% of respondents, depended on the amount of investment and net household income as well the outlay and usable floor area. This is an original survey in the field, the benefit of which should be its use for a comparison of similar research.

“…Different initiatives have been favorable to ensure propositions from the virtual methodologies. De Araujo et al [16,17,23,24,[33][34][35][45][46][47] have reached representative findings, in these and other publications, by means of sectoral surveys driven by prospections in the corporate websites from internet to characterize timber housing activity under different aspects.…”

Timber construction is a contemporary solution where sales are performed through in-store trade. Timber house e-commerce may stimulate global markets, and in times of intense remote routines, it is useful to improve the performance of the wood and construction sectors. Timber housing producers and dealers are the research object under analysis to study the electronic market of this Brazilian sector on Instagram®. With just over four hundred companies, nearly 80% of this sector already utilizes this virtual social network. We validated the outcomes through a significant sampling of all 315 companies with corporate profiles to identify their competences, goals, and failures. The profiles prioritize the elucidation of products and basic features, not yet being ready for the virtual sales of timber houses. The study makes it clear that our results typify a sector marked by a developing electronic market. Inserting a description of product prices and detailed specifications may change this status. From failures and competences, a classification for social profiles was proposed to measure the progress and virtual participation of each individual.

“…Using the survey strategy performed by De Araujo et al (2018a;2018b;2018c;2019a;2019b;2020a;2020b;2020c), the methodological route included the application of face-to-face interviews driven by a semi-structured questionnaire for dozens of major topics, including this unprecedented approach to identify execution time of timber housing construction techniques.…”

“…In Brazil, timber construction has been more evident in regions with expressive forestry activities and cultures infl uenced by immigrants. But, Brazil does not have development plans and public policies to stimulate their consumptions and productions as evaluated by De Araujo et al (2018c;2019b). This national disarticulation was analyzed by Hersen et al (2019), who found that there are no integrated actions to contribute to the sustainable development of the states and, above all, the whole country.…”

To identify the time spent with the different construction techniques of timber houses, this study evaluates the execution time of different models available in Brazil. Using face-to-face interviews, semi-structured questionnaires were randomly applied to collect average time according to distinct production methods. The most efficient techniques were: ‘clapboard and wainscot’, ‘post-and-beam’, and ‘log-home’ using artisanal production; ‘clapboard and wainscot’, ‘stick framing with masonry’, and ‘post-and-beam’ in semi-industrial process; and, ‘modular for building sites’, ‘modular in cross-laminated timber’ and ‘modular woodframe’ in industrial production. Different industrial developers were not as agile as artisanal competitors due to production obstacles in customized projects. Timber construction offers lower execution time than masonry, representing an agile form to build a versatile sustainable dwelling.
