Mass timber and #sustainability go hand in hand, paving the way for a greener future in construction. 🌍 Todd Beyreuther, Director of Product at MMT, has been speaking on hot topics in timber and was recently featured on the Conscious DesignHaus podcast. When asked about sustainability and timber products, here’s what he had to say: 🎙️ “The product side is multi-scale, developing CLT and GLT and the material scales, but what's exciting about where the industry is going is now looking into the components, assemblies, and full building systems that are designed for partner developers and architects. We believe in using wood as a renewable material and finding those commercialization patents. We can drive more of the supply chain value systems to align with our partners’ value systems.” ♻️ 🔗 Want to hear more?

How do DfMA and mass timber work together❓ DfMA and #MassTimber are a match made in heaven. 💪 Known for its strength, durability, and versatility, mass timber complements #DfMA practices perfectly, with unparalleled design flexibility and streamlining logistics planning and sequencing for quicker speed to occupancy. 🚛 When using mass timber as the primary building material in projects optimized with #DfMA, reliance on traditional construction materials like concrete and steel is significantly reduced. Not to mention the reduction in carbon emissions. Mass timber's potential to enhance sustainability has been demonstrated over the years, contributing to a rise in sustainable and responsibly managed forestry practices. It's a win-win for both us and the planet! 🌎 What are your thoughts on DfMA and mass timber?

Our #TimberDecoded Q&A series with our VP of Projects and Construction, Nick Milestone, is almost wrapping up! ☀️ In this penultimate post, Nick dives into the world of global #insurance trends and mass timber. ❓ Are global insurers familiar with mass timber entering the North American market? What best practices are they using? "Mass timber globally, specifically in Europe, is 10 years ahead of what's happening in the North American market. The same players in insurance I saw in projects from that region are now blossoming in the US, and with their similar climates, it's many of the same best practices. These include rigorous moisture management and fire-resistant treatments to ensure the safety and longevity of mass timber structures." 🔥 Got burning questions about mass timber and insurance? Fire away below! There’s only one more chance to get your questions in before we wrap up this series on insurance. #TimberTalks #ConstructionInsurance #MassTimberInsurance

Does the construction process feel like it takes forever? Well, #DfMA (Design for Manufacture and Assembly) can help speed things up a bit. What is DfMA, you ask? DfMA is essentially a Lego kit for construction. With DfMA, projects are broken down into prefabricated parts and built off-site in controlled environments. Once delivered on-site, these prefabricated components simply snap together into full building sections, boosting efficiency, and saving precious time and resources. ⏱️ But what does this mean? This means components like walls, floors, and even entire rooms are made elsewhere, and come ready-made to your construction site for assembly. 📦 But what’s even cooler about DfMA is its potential to transform #sustainable building practices. By constructing components in a controlled environment, DfMA helps: 🗑️️ Optimizes construction: Reducing waste, speeding up assembly, enhancing quality, improving safety, lowering costs, and minimizing disruption 🌳 Minimize environmental impact: Requires less heavy-duty construction vehicles ♻️ Promote sustainable materials: Carbon-storing, lightweight material mass timber proves ideal for DfMA practices Want to read more on DfMA and mass timber?

🏠 The housing crisis is a huge issue, and the construction industry is looking for solutions! Did you know that modular and prefabricated construction could help solve it? ICYMI, Todd Beyreuther, Director of Product at MMT, was recently on the Conscious DesignHaus podcast, where he emphasized how he believes the housing crisis can be aided through this style of construction. And what material is best prepared to handle the demand? Mass timber! Here’s what he had to say: 🪵️ “We now have the grades of CLT and Glulam placed where projects can succeed with traditional architect, engineering, and construction teams. But for us to grow and to help address housing, we need to collectively scale these industries. That’s not just mass timber but prefabrication and modular construction. That’s how we bring an advanced manufacturing mentality to that challenge.” Embracing mass timber and prefabrication isn't just a step forward; it's a leap toward sustainable, efficient, and scalable construction solutions. 🚀 Want to hear more?
