Interested in designing or building with mass timber but unsure where to start or if it’s right for your project? This podcast provides practical information on how to efficiently and cost-effectively integrate mass timber into projects of every size and type. Owners, developers, architects, and engineers will learn how to overcome concerns about cost, code compliance, insurance issues, fire safety, acoustic and vibration challenges, and more.

Hosts Paul Becker and Kristina Rodgers talk with experts in mass timber analysis, design, and construction to uncover effective strategies, best practices, and lessons learned from a large portfolio of projects. They discuss ways the advantages of mass timber – sustainability, low embodied carbon, biophilic benefits, construction efficiency, and circularity – can be successfully incorporated into a widening array of projects, including commercial buildings, high- and low-rise residential, healthcare and labs, academic buildings, data centers, cultural and arts centers, sports and recreation, aviation facilities, and bridges and transportation infrastructure.
