This paper presents project guidelines for implementing wood constructions in a hot and humid climate from a multicriteria method applied in four case studies. The research innovation is in the project recommendations for wood constructions in a hot and humid climate, from the aspects of the project process (architectural programming, project, and execution) and the structure, floor, envelope, and roof execution constructions. For this purpose, this research analyzed four wooden buildings, a built-in hot and humid climate, and structured a multicriteria method with fourteen criteria that aim to reduce the environmental impact in implementing wood in buildings. However, this research aims to disseminate timber construction systems on the coast and in northeast Brazil's centers through the training of designers to build in this region. The results confirm that wood prefabrication is the key to developing this constructive technique in the Northeast. However, it is necessary to observe the aspects of viability, transport, cost, wood quality, transport conditions, and environmental impact. When promoting wood buildings, it is necessary to propose creative, responsible, and accessible constructive solutions with a light architecture suitable for the hot and humid climate.
