Timber at Height

Why we now start most mid-rise projects with a mass-timber frame.

Timber at Height

Cross-laminated timber has moved from experiment to default in our mid-rise work.

Carbon

A timber frame stores carbon instead of emitting it. On our last housing project the structure alone saved roughly the emissions of running the building for a decade.

Speed

Panels arrive cut to size with openings in place. Fewer trades on site, less noise for the neighbours, and a frame that goes up in weeks.
