The Centre for expertise in the wood construction of commercial and Industrial buildings (“CECOBOIS”) is an organization with the main mission of supporting and facilitating the increase of use of wood construction in the non-residential sectors in Québec. 

CECOBOIS offers technical support services and ongoing training for promoters, engineers and architects on:

• The National building code;

• Standards and calculation methods;

• Structural performance, acoustics, thermal and fire resistance in wood structures;

• The possibility of using structural wood products and decorative wood in commercial, industrial and institutional sectors.

 

Professionals such as architects, engineers, promoters and builders working with wood in non-residential sectors can join CECOBOIS as partners.

Prior to the Gala evening celebrating CECOBOIS prizes for excellence held in February (2017) in Quebec City (See www.cecobois.com), participants were invited to visit the « Origine » condo project (www.condosorigine.com) in the eco-district of Pointe-aux-Lièvres in Quebec City.

 

The Origine project innovates in many ways. This new condo building is built with cross laminated lumber known as CLT and will be thirteen stories high. This project will become a showcase for building durable and innovative projects with Québec developed wood products.

Origine will be the tallest “all wood” condo tower in North America.

CECOBOIS, un organisme à connaitre!

Le Centre d’expertise sur la construction commerciale en bois (« CECOBOIS ») est un organisme dont la mission est de supporter et de faciliter l’usage accru du bois en construction non-résidentielle au Québec.

CECOBOIS offre des services de soutien technique et de formation continue. Il renseigne les promoteurs, les ingénieurs et les architectes sur :

• Le Code du bâtiment;

• Les normes et méthodes de calculs;

• La performance structurale, acoustique, thermique et la résistance au feu de bâtiments en bois;

• Les possibilités d’utilisation du bois de structure et d’apparence en construction commerciale,  institutionnelle et multifamiliale.

Les professionnels œuvrant dans les domaines de la construction non-résidentielle en bois, tels que des architectes, des ingénieurs, des promoteurs et des entrepreneurs peuvent devenir des partenaires de CECOBOIS.

Lors du gala des Prix d’Excellence CECOBOIS tenu en février 2017 à Québec (Voir www.cecobois.com), les participants ont eu l’occasion de visiter le projet « Origine » qui est en développement dans l’éco-cartier Pointe-aux-Lièvres à Québec. (www.condosorigine.com)

Le projet Origine innove à plusieurs niveaux. Ce nouveau bâtiment en bois massif de 13 étages va mousser la réputation du Québec comme plaque tournante en matière de conception durable et innovante à partir des produits du bois du Québec. Origine sera la plus haute tour à condos « tout bois » en Amérique du Nord.
