How Is the Cost of CLT Determined?
The cost of a CLT (Cross-Laminated Timber) project is not fixed, as it depends on several key factors, such as:
- Total surface area
- Architectural design requirements
- Number and size of openings (doors, windows, etc.)
- Number of floors
- Overall size and complexity of the construction
That’s why CLT Greece provides a personalized cost estimate based on your specific project plans.

Frequently Asked Questions – CLT Pricing
How much does a wooden CLT construction cost in Greece?
The indicative price for the supply of a CLT and mass timber structural shell starts at €650/m² of floor plan area + VAT. The final price depends on the architectural design, technical specifications and project requirements.
Are wooden CLT constructions more economical than concrete?
Yes. A wooden CLT construction has a lower cost than a conventional concrete construction. In addition, it is completed in a much shorter time and offers high energy efficiency and excellent thermal insulation. Thus, you benefit in construction cost, delivery speed, and lower operating expenses in the long term.
What is the price difference between a wooden CLT construction and a prefabricated wooden house?
The wooden CLT construction has almost the same price as a prefabricated wooden house (light frame).
• In the case of CLT, the load-bearing structure consists of solid cross laminated timber (multi-layer mass timber) without voids in the masonry. This means a unified, robust, and long-lasting construction with high energy efficiency.
• In the case of prefabricated light frame, the load-bearing structure is a timber skeleton with insulation and OSB.
Both methods are wooden constructions, but CLT offers superior stability, lifespan, and thermal insulation, while the cost remains at comparable levels.
What does the indicative price cover?
The indicative price covers the supply of the structural shell package. The technical proposal and quotation for your project will specify exactly what the package includes.
Which factors affect the price of a wooden CLT house?
The final price of a wooden CLT construction is shaped by:
• the size and complexity of the architectural design,
• the thickness of the CLT panels,
• the location of the project (transport, especially on islands),
Overall: The wooden CLT construction is more economical than concrete and very close to prefabricated wooden building, while it excels in energy efficiency, thermal insulation, construction speed, earthquake resistance, and durability over time.
