description Nowadays, wooden constructions should occupy an important place in the construction industry, mainly because they eliminate negative effects on the environment. Eco-friendly and sustainable buildings include, for example, buildings made of timber column structures and buildings made of cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels. Eco-friendly buildings based on wood are in the minority in Slovakia. The research question is what advantages and disadvantages can the construction of an administrative building from CLT panels include, not only for the construction investor, compared to a construction from a timber column structure? The main research method is the analysis of time and cost parameters of the construction of wooden buildings, with the aim of drawing attention to the characteristics of construction in the segment of administrative buildings in Slovakia. The synthesis of the resulting knowledge has proven the advantage of construction from CLT panels compared to timber column structures. The task of designers is to offer knowledge about the advantages and disadvantages of different types of constructions, to which the results of our study contribute. This study is based on a thorough time–cost analysis of the parameters of the CLT construction system and timber column structures, and it definitely fills the publishing gap in the given topic.
