Given the unpredictability of concrete and steel deliveries, mass timber is ascending in preference as a building material, as shown by standout projects across the U.S.

“I wouldn’t take credit for paving the way, but we pushed the limits,” says Steve Turner, President of Western Wood Structures, who’s been working with large-scale wood structures since the mid 1970s.

Prefabricated mass timber can help data centers reduce carbon footprint, improve flexibility and boost workplace experience.

Mass timber is poised to join concrete, steel, and light-wood framing as a primary structural material for multifamily projects. Mass timber construction involves the use of prefabricated wood ...

Structural timber is in the midst of a renaissance; an ironic trend given that timber is arguably the most ancient of building materials. But new innovations in structural timber design have inspired ...

A new analysis could help architects and builders reduce the carbon footprint of truss structures, the crisscrossing struts that bolster bridges, towers, and buildings. Buildings are a big contributor ...
