Purpose: Sustainable construction in the construction industry is a constantly recurring topic on climate issues around the world. In Sweden the majority of the newly construction foundation is made of concrete, steel and reinforcement. To reduce these emissions wood materials can be used in the construction instead. And to increase the wood materials in constructions a wooden building strategy can be used. The aim with this report is to develop a comprehensive basic wooden building strategy for municipalities in Sweden. This will be achieved by analysing municipalities success in the specific area and take advantage of the knowledge of actors involved with the area. In this report the strategy and the way to the strategy will be presented.  Method: The method in this report are qualitative case studies and the collection method of the empiricism is literature surveys, document analysis and interviews.  Selected methods form the basis for analyzing Eksjös, Växjös and Skellefteå municipality's current wooden building strategies as well as the knowledge of a researcher and university lecturer, the collected data will result in developing a common basic wooden building strategy for municipalities in need.   Findings: This report has added new knowledge and shows how a wooden building strategy should be design based on the conditions of the municipalities and that the working methods vary and look different. The development process of the strategy is an important element that is decisive for how well the strategy works, in this process the content of the strategy as well as its vision and goals are discussed. A wooden building strategy should include requirement where follow-up can be done and show if the goals are achieved, also dialogues and contact should exist with the construction industries actors to increase wood construction in municipalities.  Implications: Swedish municipalities can motivate wooden construction though a wooden building strategy where, through commands, promises and strategies, they contribute to increase interest. The development process is one of the most important part of designing a building strategy. Municipalities that develop a wooden building strategy must have clear goals and visions with the strategy. Gathering knowledge is the key to a well-functional strategy where municipalities have a good dialogue and corporation with actors. In the development process it is recommenced that you influenced by the leading edge of various organizations and municipalities in the area and see its weak points and take note of its strong points. This contributes to a well-designed wooden building strategy.  Limitations: The study is mainly limited to multi-storey houses and wooden buildings in Sweden. Recommendations and conclusions, together with the empiricism, are the authors' own thoughts and ideas. The limitation of the work and the goal is that the municipalities cannot use the model directly but must adapt the content based on their own conditions and visions.  Keywords: Wooden building strategy, concrete, CO2, wooden building, wooden buildings Sweden, Strategy
