As mass timber adoption continues to expand across commercial and institutional building sectors, project teams are seeking a clearer understanding of the factors that influence overall project cost and value.
Wood Works will hold a Mass Timber Economics: Cost Influences and Real-World Comparisons webinar on October 14th from 1 to 2 pm EDT
This course examines the economic considerations associated with mass timber construction, including material pricing, structural systems, prefabrication, market conditions, and project delivery strategies.
Through built case studies and comparative project data, participants will explore how early design decisions can influence construction efficiency, schedule, and overall project outcomes. The session will also review findings from regional studies comparing mass timber with steel and concrete systems in multiple U.S. markets, highlighting considerations related to cost, scheduling, and carbon impacts.
Presenters will include:
Chris Kendall, PE | Principal & Senior Project Manager, KL&A Engineers & Builders Suzanne Robinson, P.E., LEED AP BD+C | Director of Sustainability, LeMessurier Structural Engineers
Steve Whitcraft, AIA Assoc, DBIA, CHC, CPC | Turner Construction Company
Learning Objectives:
- Describe the primary factors that influence the cost and market competitiveness of mass timber construction in different regions of the United States.
- Examine how structural system selection, prefabrication strategies, and project planning decisions can impact construction efficiency and overall project economics.
- Compare mass timber project outcomes with steel and concrete alternatives using data from built case studies and regional analyses.
- Discuss how schedule considerations, material availability, and design coordination contribute to the overall value proposition of mass timber construction.
