This paper demonstrates the feasibility of multi‐story timber construction from a legal and technical
perspective in Denmark. The main objectives of the investigation are to determine the primary benefits
of timber, analyse the legislation and technical issues including the consideration of the challenges of
recent high‐rise timber constructions from other countries, as well as to offer solutions of a more widespread
building with wood. The answers have been obtained through the analysis of theoretical
research, and qualitative data through interviews with experts in the field. The general finding of the
research is that multi‐story timber structures are certainly feasible in Denmark and have quite a positive
outlook for the near future.
