MASS TIMBER

Faced with climate change and the need for low carbon solutions, mass timber is opening new design possibilities from long-spanning roof structures to tall timber towers... There is an ever-evolving number of options and systems when it comes to mass timber. Using various combinations and sizes, mass timber products can serve as beams, columns, floors, roofs and walls considering the directional strength of each wood product. In contrast to conventional concrete and steel systems that tend to follow standard templates, mass timber systems offer the potential for greater flexibility, albeit not without some challenges... We work collaboratively with the Government of British Columbia, Government of Canada, independent academic and research institutes, trade associations and wood products companies to support an environmentally sustainable and globally competitive forest sector in British Columbia.
