The current methods of designing and using wood-based construction systems are going through exciting changes. By adopting new and innovative technologies, it is now possible to create residential buildings with less environmental impact. After examining the available research, this article presents and describe five main categories of wood construction systems, highlighting their advantages and applications. Choosing the right structural system is crucial for facing the sustainability challenges of today. It is important to consider different factors, such as the building function or economic aspects.
