Seminar Description

During this transformative time in the construction industry, many owners/developers, GC’s and designers are unfamiliar with mass timber buildings and the general sequence and timeliness of activities essential to delivering mass timber buildings. Not only is it important for Structural Engineers to have the structural expertise in mass timber but more so now than ever before, they need to be included early in the process to keep the project from going off the tracks. This presentation will discuss mass timber project delivery process, structural systems, building code requirements, manufacturer considerations, and supply chain issue all which are foundational to keeping a project on the rails to success.
