Building Construction Element of Wood

Abstract

A building element of wood intended to be stacked on top of each other in order to form a wall of a building. The invention is characterised in that the element ( 1 ) is longitudinally extended and has a rectangular cross-section, in that the element is designed with a protruding pointed piece ( 2 ) at its first end and designed with a point-shaped cavity ( 3 ) at its second end, in that the pointed piece ( 2 ) and the point-shaped cavity ( 3 ) have the same shape such that the pointed piece of a first element fits into the said cavity of a second element, and in that penetrating holes ( 4 ) are formed by building elements ( 1 ) that lie on top of and adjacent to each other, and in that fixing means ( 7 ) are available in order to fix neighbouring building elements to each other.
