The importance of civil construction is related to development of territories, permeating generations. But, little is known about civil construction production sectors, especially, in the group directed to timbered houses. Thus, this study identified and characterized those Brazilian poles of timber houses, whose purposes were related to the qualitative-quantitative-geographical self-knowledge by actors and business partners of this sector. Two phases were carried out in the study, being the analysis of companies effectively active to identify their concentrations, and the mapping of business poles from the proposal of a hierarchical scale. Data prospection was supported by the searching of company websites and social networks. Findings evinced a sectoral dynamism in times of retraction, since the volume of active companies has grown in comparison to the rare studies. Most companies are active and present activities more focused on production than market. Business concentrations and poles intensified in the North-South direction of the country, specifically, in developed metropolitan areas and coastal regions.
