With changes to the 2021 International Building Codes opening doors to taller, more resilient buildings and more ambitious facilities successfully being completed, and the desire from clients to become more sustainable, mass timber continues to rapidly gain traction across the US.

Nevertheless, building with this material is challenging. Not only does it require extensive technical knowledge for design optimization – understanding fire ratings and evolving codes, designing with acoustics, seismicity and vibration in mind, and ensuring moisture control and developing onsite best practices – it also requires innovations to the project partnering and delivery workflows to optimize quality, schedule and cost.

That’s why, Advancing Mass Timber Construction 2021 is returning in October to facilitate the critical conversations you need to drive innovation and benchmark best practices across the end-to-end design and construction workflow. This really will be the first opportunity in over a year to network, collaborate and learn directly from hundreds of clients, contractors, designers, manufacturers at a face-to-face forum!
