Mass timber is a unique, non-commodity building material and, to lay the groundwork for success, certain critical decisions must be made as early as possible. These decisions can have a big impact on cost and can either increase or limit opportunities later in design.

Wood Works will hold an Early Design Decisions: Priming Mass Timber Projects for Success webinar on October 10th from Noon to 2:15 pm EDT

There are many cases of project teams that want to realize the full benefits of mass timber, but, because they base their designs on traditional building practices instead of optimizing them for mass timber, end up with avoidable price premiums.

In this presentation, Shannon Williams from WoodWorks will walk through early project decisions and design steps, focusing on how to optimize projects for mass timber and how one early decision can influence others.

Topics will include construction types, fire ratings, column grids and beam/panel spans, acoustics and MEP integration. Completed mass timber projects will be used to illustrate the variety of viable options when navigating these key decisions.

Cost to participate in this program is $20.  To take part, register at  Early Design Decisions: Priming Mass Timber Projects for Success – WoodWorks | Wood Products Council
