How Is the Cost of CLT Determined?
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.
Steps to Receive a CLT Cost Estimate
1. Submit Your Architectural Design (DWG)
You send your architectural drawings in DWG (2D) format.
2. Analysis by Our Technical Team
The engineering team of XLAM Dolomiti, in collaboration with CLT Greece, reviews your design to calculate:
Total surface areas
Structural load
Technical requirements of the project
3. Receive a Cost Estimate Within 10 Business Days
You’ll receive a fully documented technical cost proposal, including:
Supply of CLT panels
Custom metal connectors and fasteners
Transportation from the factory
Installation services (optional)
Indicative CLT Price
The cost of CLT starts from approximately €800 per square meter of ground floor area.
The final estimate is determined based on the specific parameters of each project.
Frequently Asked Questions – CLT Pricing
1. Is CLT more affordable than traditional construction?
Yes, in many cases. For example:
A house in Drama may cost €1,000/m² with conventional construction, but only €750/m² using CLT.
In Paros, traditional building costs may reach €2,500/m², while CLT brings that down to around €850/m².
2. How does location affect the cost of building with CLT?
Location primarily affects transportation costs.
Unlike traditional construction—which becomes significantly more expensive in island or remote areas—CLT offers cost stability due to its prefabrication and fast installation.
3. Why is CLT ideal for islands or remote locations?
CLT dramatically reduces labor, construction time, and transport requirements.
This makes it perfect for areas with high logistics costs, such as the Cyclades.
In such cases, CLT can result in over 50% savings compared to conventional building methods.
