Designing and Building with Mass Timber: Design, Planning and Performance

How can architects, engineers, and contractors collaborate to meet the growing demand for mass timber buildings? This presentation will build on the environment of shared learning in the mass timber community, providing an overview of everything from available products to the planning, design, and implementation methods across disciplines that maximize the benefits these buildings can deliver.

We’ll also discuss why some mass timber projects face resistance, and how to overcome misconceptions to achieve success. Topics will also include preconstruction coordination and interactions between the manufacturer and design/construction teams, case-based approaches to costing and scheduling, project delivery methods, how to achieve the highest level of efficiency for costs, schedule, and performance, and additional education and training opportunities.

The discussion will include:

• Why some mass timber projects face resistance and how to overcome common misconceptions to achieve success
• Best practices for interaction between manufacturer, design team and preconstruction manager that contribute to cost efficiency and safety on site
• The benefits of using mass timber products, including structural versatility, prefabrication, lighter carbon footprint, and reduced labor costs
