In the past many loadbearing systems in timber construction has been developed. The basic systems are: log construction, timber-frame construction, balloon-frame and platform-frame construction, panel construction, frame construction nad solid timber construction. For multistorey
timber buildings are preferred: frame construction, panel construction and timber solid construction. Based on many research, a large numer of multi-storey timber construction has been built. I presented some of them: Murray Grove Tower, The Tree, Hoho tower and Tamedia.Slovenia has not many new buildings made of wood, according to forestation. The main reason for that is lack of knowledge of advanced timber construction. Also it has very little multi-storey timber construction, because it belong to coutries with high seismic threat and seismic loadbearing of timber construction has not been explored yet. I have presented
office building Eltima and storehouse Ekoprodukt. Many slovenian companies have participated in construction of multi-storey timber buildings. Some of them i presented in this thesis.
