| Summary: | The study assesses the state of timber
construction in the country, and the potential for
industrialized timber construction to help overcome the
social housing deficit while revitalizing growth and
lessening the construction sector’s impact on climate
change. This study has been prepared as a technical policy
input aimed at supporting the Government’s efforts to
increase the construction of timber housing as a key pillar
of its sustainable development and green reactivation
agenda. The study consists of four chapters. Chapter one
addresses the global construction crisis and the opportunity
for Chile to lead the way in green construction using timber
for social housing; chapter two assesses the effects of
regulatory frameworks on timber construction; chapter three
provides a financial analysis of timber construction in
Chile; and chapter four analyzes barriers and opportunities
for creating an action plan for timber housing. Each chapter
includes an initial summary, a description of the
methodology used for that chapter’s analysis, and a
concluding section which details the chapter’s main findings. |
