Hybrid
 
              Wood is often used in combination with other building systems to realize benefits greater than those offered by each system alone. Examples include light wood-frame walls with mass timber floors and roofs, steel elements in long-span wood floor systems, and concrete foundations, podiums, and cores. Areas, where different materials and systems intersect, require particular attention. Our resources can help you overcome challenges and achieve successful hybrid projects.
