Overview

CBS-CBT is a timber engineering group specialized in the design and realization of innovative wood structures with large spans. Its activities include structural wood engineering, wood and bio-sourced design-build, and biosourced TCE. The group traces its story to a passion instilled by Jean-Luc Sandoz since 1991, and its key dates include CBS (Concepts Bois Structure) in 1991, CBT (Concept Bois Technologie) in 1998, CBS Guyane in 2015, and LIFTEAM Romandie in 2018.

History

The CBS-CBT group traces its story to a passion instilled by Jean-Luc Sandoz since 1991. A carpenter and roofer from the age of 15, he became a wood engineer at ENSTIB and then a wood structure expert at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne before teaching there and directing the wood development laboratory (IBOIS/EPFL) until 1999, when he devoted himself exclusively to the development of his wood/biosourced designer-builder group. Key dates listed by the group include 1991 - CBS (Concepts Bois Structure), 1998 - CBT (Concept Bois Technologie), 2015 - CBS Guyane (Wooden structure concepts), and 2018 - LIFTEAM Romandie (Wood construction and TCE).
