This year has shown us how pertinent global issues can be tackled swiftly when we have widespread collaboration and the collective will to make a change. It’s now our industry’s turn to play a part in helping to facilitate a change that has the power to impact all of us! http://ow.ly/RoIF50Cjf7C

It’s light but strong as concrete, easy to transport, low carbon, locally sourced and fire safe. According to some studies, just being near it makes people happy. It’s called wood! http://ow.ly/7yxx50C4f2N

Natural building materials are the way forward! More and more architects, builders and sustainability advocates are recognizing the significant benefits that warm wood buildings can offer. We're proud to be constructing sustainable mass timber buildings like Chip & Shannon Wilson School of Design, since 2001. http://ow.ly/nKmI50Cjg7s

Enjoy a good break from monotonous life by enjoying the monstrous night #HappyHalloween!

Design firms are tapping mass timber to illustrate how eco-friendly material can be used to support a sustainable recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic! http://ow.ly/ken650CjeUy

Completed in 2015, the UBC Baseball Indoor Training Centre is comprised of concrete foundations, glulam post and beam with laminated strand lumber (LSL) walls and light wood framed offices and roof areas. #tbt http://ow.ly/C92d50BMBi2

Did you know more lumber comes from British Columbia than anywhere else in Canada? Those working in the lumber industry in BC are leading the way in showing others both in Canada and abroad how to use lumber efficiently and yet sustainably. http://ow.ly/97ZM50Cjfx8

Did you know wood has a much better insulation rating compared to plastic or steel? Residential and commercial homes require less energy to maintain cooling and heating temperatures. This is good for the bottom line! Find out more facts about mass timber through our monthly blogs: http://ow.ly/K36050BXYzV

Japanese architecture firm Kengo Kuma has fully embraced cross-laminated timber in its newly built temporary pavilion in Tokyo, spiraling up into the sky! http://ow.ly/ccRM50CjeIZ

The advantages to building with mass timber are clear: compared to steel or concrete, wood is a renewable resource with the potential to sequester carbon. This makes it a construction material of increasing import in the era of anthropogenic climate crisis. Two recent Canadian publications help equip architects and engineers in using mass timber. http://ow.ly/pLwA50BMvyP

Completed in 2017, the Brock Commons Tallwood House was the first of its kind. In just 9 weeks #TeamSeagate took wood construction to world record heights at UBC! http://ow.ly/4LIj50Ck020

The British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) is embracing mass timber for their new 12-storey student housing project because B.C. is a leader in its use and it’s an innovative way to reduce the carbon footprint, explains BCIT spokesperson Amy Chen. http://ow.ly/DaZy50BXPJh

The Billie Jean King Library is an impressive civic monument located in Downtown Long Beach, California, and joins the rapidly growing nationwide trend towards mass timber construction. http://ow.ly/AEjM50BMo93

By the middle of the 20th century, tall wood buildings seemed to have topped out. Canada’s brick and beam construction boom of the late 1800s and early 1900s had run its course, overtaken by new concrete and steel structures. Decades later, wood building is undergoing something of a renaissance and we're proud to be leading the mass-timber revolution! http://ow.ly/jlEJ50BMlyi

Just loved seeing Fast + Epp new mass timber home office go up so easily and quickly! The four-storey superstructure was erected in just four weeks using cross-laminated timber floor and wall panels, glulam beams and steel posts. http://ow.ly/ky4J50BXP2r

Benefits of mass timber for your construction needs: 1. Natural Commodity Timber has been discovered to be non-toxic, and it’s safe to handle and touch. Mass timber ages naturally, which enables it to maintain its quality for many years.... 2. Sustainable The materials used by a construction company can grow quickly and most timber supply nations have committed themselves to plant more trees. 3. Less Energy Used Timber needs only a small amount of energy to be converted for construction needs. For more information on mass timber, visit: http://ow.ly/hJbN50BSGzz

With wood construction materials, 36 wind turbines, 8,300 shrubs, 1,600 trees, 83,000 square feet of plant walls, and nearly 23,000 square feet of solar panels, it would be the world’s tallest carbon sink tower one that absorbs more CO2 than it releases! http://ow.ly/iXqp50BFYAg

Why Mass Timber? 1. Wood is a great insulator 2. Wood is quicker to build 3. Wood is sustainable and renewable... 4. Wood is beautiful We could go on forever...talk to us about your construction project! http://ow.ly/MWfm50BFT7J

Brock Commons Tallwood House, continues to occupy a prominent position within architecture. The upcoming new National Building Code will allow encapsulated mass timber construction up to 12 storeys, which in turn will be reflected in the next edition of the B.C. Building Code due out in 2022/2023! http://ow.ly/O2LG50BFQEs
