The load-bearing structure and insulation are practically on the same level, which means we can get powerful walls without having to build them too thick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For single-family homes, additions and extensions in particular, wooden frame construction is therefore often the first choice for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, a lot can already be prepared in our workshop: insulation, cladding, partly windows, and depending on the project, even parts of the facade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hecker-holzbau.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/3a5b0c27-0c4a-451f-b95f-23e451056eb6-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Interior of a garage built from plywood with visible beam ceiling\" class=\"wp-image-612\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hecker-holzbau.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/3a5b0c27-0c4a-451f-b95f-23e451056eb6-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.hecker-holzbau.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/3a5b0c27-0c4a-451f-b95f-23e451056eb6-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hecker-holzbau.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/3a5b0c27-0c4a-451f-b95f-23e451056eb6-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hecker-holzbau.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/3a5b0c27-0c4a-451f-b95f-23e451056eb6-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.hecker-holzbau.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/3a5b0c27-0c4a-451f-b95f-23e451056eb6-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Plywood<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plywood works differently.
