Mass timber projects require thoughtful moisture management throughout construction to support structural performance, dimensional stability, finish quality, and long-term building durability.
WoodWorks will hold a Mass Timber Moisture Control: Lessons from the Jobsite webinar on November 10th from 1 to 2 pm EST.
This webinar examines practical strategies for managing moisture exposure before, during, and after installation of mass timber components. Drawing from real-world project experience, contractors Chad Hamilton of XL Construction and Matthew Tonello of Consigli will share lessons learned from completed mass timber buildings, including approaches to planning, sequencing, temporary protection, monitoring, and response protocols.
The presenters will discuss how early coordination among project teams, informed construction planning, and proactive site management can help maintain construction quality, reduce project risk, and support efficient project delivery. Attendees will gain insights into field-tested methods for protecting mass timber elements while balancing schedule, cost, safety, and constructability considerations.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify common sources of moisture exposure during mass timber construction and explain their potential impacts on structural performance, dimensional stability, finish quality, and long-term durability.
- Describe preconstruction planning and coordination strategies that support effective moisture management during mass timber installation and enclosure.
- Evaluate temporary protection methods, sequencing approaches, and site management practices used to minimize moisture exposure and maintain the performance of mass timber systems during construction.
- Discuss field-tested monitoring techniques and response protocols that help project teams manage moisture exposure while supporting construction quality, project efficiency, and resilient building outcomes.
