From Steel Frame to Timber Frame - Large-Scale Wooden Architecture Made Possible by Seismic Resistant Construction Method SE Method
Large-scale buildings enter the era of wooden construction ~Simple and rich wooden architecture that responds to diversity~ Being in a space made of wood is not only pleasant, but the importance of using wood in architecture is being reevaluated in a circular society, and the promotion of wood utilization is being encouraged. Compared to steel and reinforced concrete structures, wood is lightweight, which helps reduce construction costs and timelines. The "SE construction method" achieves excellent seismic resistance and high spatial flexibility through thoroughly quality-controlled materials and precise structural calculations. It is possible to expose columns and beams with fire-resistance design, and to create fire-resistant buildings as well. Wooden construction is particularly suitable for large and medium-sized buildings. Leveraging nearly 20 years of experience with the wooden frame construction method developed through the SE construction 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 in modern construction, wood can be used for an even longer period. ◆Aesthetic Appeal Wooden structures can create a warm and inviting space. By exposing wooden columns and beams, a gentle impression can be achieved. Wood is ideal for facilities such as nurseries, kindergartens, and stores where the warmth of wood is preferred. ◆Lightweight Wood is significantly lighter compared to steel structures. In cases of weak ground conditions, the number of piles can be reduced, or pile construction may even be unnecessary. This allows for a reduction in the size of the foundation, making wood advantageous for completing projects within a limited budget. *For more details, please download the catalog or visit 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 continue to innovate homebuilding in Japan. And the key to realizing that future is our "SE construction method." The technology, equipment, and specifications for homebuilding in Japan have significantly improved. However, can we truly say that life itself has become richer? We believe that in the context of homebuilding in earthquake-prone Japan, conducting structural planning and advocating for "safety and security" is the foremost priority. We also wish to continue proposing towards the realization of a new "rich life in Japan."
