This is the main output of the Sustainable Modular Houses for People in Need, Project Number: 2021-1-EL01-KA220-VET-000025502. The “research–knowledge hub” (RKH) is an electronic library developed and created for containing detailed items of applied research in the field of timber construction design principles, circular economy, sustainable development and material availability in different regions of Europe.

RKH is an innovative tool for bibliographic search, an electronic library in all languages of the partners in which the project partners have uploaded complete methods of construction (assembly and disassembly), studies, reports, practical guides and case studies which are expected to assist on finding all the necessary resources under one umbrella. The purpose of the RKH is to be a valuable tool in the hands of both researchers but mostly for the professionals who are actually involved in the whole phase of delivering a modular unit for people in need (from design to construction).

This paper proposes a classification that connects the aspects and details of wooden housing materials in relation to the industrialization level and chronological origin.

This article focuses on modular frame construction and technological aspects of wooden houses built according to Canadian or Scandinavian technologies.

American NGO WoodWorks has launched a vocational training guide for wood construction. The guide is intended for contractors and construction firms, training centers, colleges and workforce development programs. All to ensure that there are skilled workers for wood construction projects. The guide can be requested online and contains 10 modules – from introduction to wooden constructions, to methods of connection of posts and beams, from labor protection, to planning and coordination of such a project.
