      abstract = {The recent productivity improvement in multi dwelling  construction processes has opened for
substituting on site  construction with industrial processes. Increased  prefabrication of
components and systems have resulted in  the development of industrial construction  timber
enterprises (house component and other woodworking  industry enterprises) but also sawmills
and their upgrading  activities (pre cutting, planing and other upgrading) to  gradually adopt new
intra firm value creation activities  including planning and assembling services. The prior  major
business model, processes cost minimizing for  standard timber products, has been transferred
towards  client oriented tailor made solutions and services. The  major contractors and other
construction system integrators  have been reluctant to introduce the upflow enterprises in  value
chains and to participate in the development of new  industrialization with improved component
and product  offerings for multi dwelling house construction.
This paper  discusses the value creation positioning and coverage in  the business model
formation among the timber element  production industry enterprises. The business models  are
based on the vision formation and implementation  strategy with using, maintaining or selling
construction  enterprises as clients integrating multi dwelling house  construction processes.
Research task here is to extend a  business model taxonomy for the three major  industrial
product offering types for timber construction  products (components, elements and modules) by
including  further client types and market conditions in the multi  dwelling construction Multi
dwelling construction  constitute annual house construction majority in both  countries with
aggregate volumes of the same magnitude. The  core task is to discuss the future options to
develop the  business models that fit with the objectives of the major  construction producers and
real estate developers.},
