Early Design Decisions: Priming Mass Timber Projects for Success

Regional In-Person Seminar (Houston, TX)

Mass timber is a unique, non-commodity building material, and to lay the groundwork for success, teams must make certain critical decisions as early as possible. These decisions can have a significant impact on cost and can either increase or limit opportunities later in design. This presentation will look at:

• Early project decisions and design steps, focusing on how to optimize projects for mass timber

• Construction types, fire ratings, column grids and beam/panel spans, acoustics, and MEP integration

• Completed mass timber projects illustrating the variety of viable options when navigating these key decisions

Please join us for lunch following the seminar.
