How Prefabricated Glulam Transforms Off-Site Timber Construction
Construction teams are increasingly turning to off-site timber construction to improve efficiency, precision, and jobsite coordination. Prefabricated glulam supports this approach by allowing engineered wood components to be manufactured to project-specific...
Timber Erection: Best Practices for Safe and Efficient Installation
Timber erection is where the planning and fabrication of a mass timber project come together on site. Beams, columns, panels, and other components need to arrive in the right sequence, be handled carefully, and be installed according to the project drawings. Good...
How CLT and Glulam Work Together in Mass Timber Construction
Mass timber construction often relies on more than one engineered wood product to create a complete structural system. Two of the most common are cross-laminated timber (CLT) and glue-laminated timber (glulam). While both are engineered wood products, they serve...
Exposed Timber Beams: Structure Meets Design Excellence
Exposed timber beams are becoming a popular choice in commercial construction, combining structural performance with architectural appeal. Once common in traditional buildings, timber beams are now featured in offices, hospitality spaces, educational facilities, and...
What to Expect During a Mass Timber Installation
Mass timber is becoming a popular choice for commercial construction because it combines strength, efficiency, and sustainability. According to the U.S. Forest Service, mass timber buildings can be constructed more quickly than comparable concrete or steel buildings,...
Glulam Column Design Factors to Consider
Glulam columns play an important role in modern mass timber construction by combining structural strength, design flexibility, and sustainability. As commercial and institutional projects increasingly adopt engineered wood systems, proper glulam column design is...
Carbon Accounting for Timber Buildings
According to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the building and construction sector accounts for approximately 37% of global energy-related carbon dioxide emissions. As the industry focuses on reducing its environmental impact, timber has emerged as a...
Mass Timber Lifecycle Modeling for Long-Term Performance
According to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), buildings accounted for 34% of global energy demand and 37% of energy- and process-related CO₂ emissions worldwide. As the construction industry works to reduce its environmental impact, interest in...
Mass Timber Preconstruction Planning Strategies
Mass timber construction continues to grow across commercial, institutional, and multi-family building projects because of its speed, sustainability, and design flexibility. In fact, some industry studies show that mass timber buildings can reduce construction time by...
Custom Glulam Curvature in Modern Mass Timber Construction
Modern architecture is no longer limited to straight lines and rigid forms. Designers today look for materials that allow creative freedom without sacrificing structural performance. Glulam beams have emerged as a leading solution because they combine strength,...
