Wood You Like to Learn About Mass Timber?

Mass Timber is a sustainable material that is being used on more and more construction projects, with good results and the potential to be a mainstream product. Besides the biophilic benefits it provides, this sustainable material has the potential to transform the way people work, the environments they inhabit, and the future of our planet.

Mass timber buildings utilize solid or engineered wood for the main structure, as opposed to simply serving as a design accent. It is not to be confused with “stick-built”, “light-frame” or even “heavy-timber” wood construction, as mass timber buildings typically take on loads that are comparable to steel and concrete.

Change doesn’t come without challenges, and mass timber design and construction face unique barriers to entry and regulatory hurdles.
