From Towers To Turbines: The Most Fascinating Mass Timber Projects Worldwide
Mass timber has moved far beyond the novelty stage. Cross laminated timber and glulam started to gain attention a decade ago as materials that could replace concrete and steel in mid-rise buildings. Since then the technology has advanced, codes have adapted, and architects and engineers have pushed the limits of … [continued]

Mass Timber & Fire Safety: What The Evidence Shows
Mass timber is scaling for obvious reasons. It is lighter than concrete, faster to assemble than steel, and carries the climate advantage of storing carbon drawn down from the atmosphere. That combination is powerful for developers and policymakers trying to hit cost and emissions targets. The unavoidable question is whether … [continued]

Mass Timber’s Edge: Smaller Crews, Quicker Builds, New Floors Above
Mass timber has already proven its climate case. What is becoming more clear as projects accumulate is its advantage in time and labor. Speed of construction and smaller, more specialized crews create economic benefits that go beyond carbon accounting. They reduce costs, compress schedules, and open up new markets such … [continued]

Mass Timber Nations: Case Studies & Canada’s Export Opportunities
The global construction industry is at an inflection point. Mass timber has moved from an architectural curiosity to a material that countries are embracing as part of the climate and housing solution. It offers the ability to lock carbon into buildings while displacing concrete and steel, two of the most … [continued]

Adhesives, Dowels & Veneers: The Industrial Choices Shaping Mass Timber
Mass timber has quickly become one of the most talked about building materials in the climate conversation, and for good reason. It locks away carbon from forests, displaces steel and concrete in construction, and lends itself to faster, modular assembly. But as with all industrial products, the devil is in … [continued]
