Mysuru/Mysore: Canadian Wood, in association with Pyramid Timber Associates, Mysuru, inaugurated the country’s first ever wood frame construction (WFC) house in city. The house is constructed at Pyramid Timber Associates premises on Mysuru-Hunsur Road near Yelwal.

Wood framing is a system of framing techniques based on optimising building materials to produce wood framed buildings with less materials and labour costs than conventionally framed structures. 

The house is adaptable from hot and humid to extremely cold climates and is able to meet or exceed code established levels of fire safety and sound control. 

Speaking about the project, Pranesh Chhibber, Country Director, Forestry Innovation Consulting India Pvt. Ltd, said, “It was our pleasure to work with Pyramid Timber Associates for this project. Wood frame construction has been the preferred choice of construction for millions of houses in North America. In India, we are experiencing a trend of Country Homes, Farm Houses and Villas in the second home category where wood frame technique is in demand.” 

CEO of Pyramid Timber Associates Pvt. Ltd.  Ali Asgar Vagh and Director, Business Development at FII India Ajay Pimple were present.
