building demand in China is also increasing. The wood is an environmentally friendly building
material. The Chinese government has recently started promoting the use of wood frames in the
building industry. Purpose: The development of the timber frame construction industry is slow.
Due to the late start of wood frame construction, the related industries lack technology and

China. Methods: This research reviews the current developments in the Chinese wood frame
construction industry, using questionnaires and data to define its internal and external
environment. It uses the SWOT analysis method for analysis. It summarizes the advantages and
disadvantages of the Chinese wood framing industry's sustainable development at present
opportunities and challenges. Results: The article systematically suggests government support
and talent cultivation, increasing publicity and science education, improving regulations, and
improving standards and supervision systems. Conclusion: The market for wood-frame
construction in China is very broad. The development of wood-frame construction will enhance
the development of related technologies and policies. It is an important step in the sustainable
development of the Chinese construction industry.
