From Steel Frame to Timber Frame - Large-Scale Wooden Architecture Made Possible by Seismic Construction Method SE
Large-scale buildings enter the era of wooden construction ~Simple and rich wooden architecture that responds to diversity~ When you find yourself in a space made of wood, you naturally feel a sense of comfort. The importance of using wood in architecture has been reevaluated in a circular society, and the promotion of wood utilization is being encouraged. Compared to steel and reinforced concrete structures, wooden construction is lightweight and has the advantage of reducing construction costs and timelines. The "SE construction method" achieves excellent seismic resistance and high spatial flexibility through meticulously managed materials and precise structural calculations. It allows for exposed columns and beams through fire-resistance design, and it can also be made into fire-resistant buildings. Wooden construction is particularly suitable for large and medium-sized buildings. Leveraging nearly 20 years of experience in wooden frame construction developed through the SE method, we will unlock new possibilities for wooden architecture.

basic information
**Three Benefits of Choosing Wood for Medium to Large Scale Buildings** ◆Asset Value Choosing wood can provide tax benefits. The depreciation period is set shorter than that of steel structures, allowing for greater annual expense deductions, which leads to tax savings. Additionally, the useful life is defined by tax law, but with proper maintenance, modern buildings can be used for an even longer period. ◆Aesthetic Appeal Wood can create a warm and inviting space. By exposing wooden elements like columns and beams, a gentle impression can be achieved. Wood is ideal for facilities where the warmth of wood is preferred, such as daycare centers, kindergartens, and retail stores. ◆Lightweight Wood is significantly lighter than steel structures. In cases of soft ground, the number of piles can be reduced, or pile construction may even be unnecessary. This allows for a reduction in foundation size, making wood advantageous for completing projects within a limited budget. *For more details, please download the catalog or refer to the related links.

Company information
No matter how much the times change, the philosophy of N.C.N since its founding remains unchanged. It is to ensure the ordinary safety of the homes where people live and to create houses that continue to be assets for both the residents and this country. A future where the houses built today continue to embrace life just as they did when they were first constructed. A future where people living in wooden houses enjoy a rich life even after retirement. A future where beautiful streets function as usual after any major earthquake or disaster. While envisioning such a future, we will continue to innovate home building in Japan. And the key to realizing that future lies in our "SE construction method." The technology, equipment, and specifications for home building in Japan have significantly improved. However, can we truly say that life itself has become richer? We believe that in the context of home building in earthquake-prone Japan, conducting structural planning and advocating for "safety and security" is the most important thing to do first. We also want to continue proposing ideas toward the realization of a new "rich life in Japan."
